The mat not only continuously charges the mouse on the fly but if you pair them in Logitech's G Hub software suite allows your PC to register the mouse without having to plug in the USB Nano dongle. Probably the flashiest of the G502's features is its compatibility with the Powerplay charging mat. I occasionally found myself pushing the sniper button by accident when moving the mouse or reaching for other buttons, and while a brief drop in CPI is certainly not a deal-breaker, it was a minor annoyance. My only minor issue with the button array is that the left side of the mouse is a bit over-crowded-it's host to a pair of CPI buttons, two proper thumb buttons, and a sniper button that drops the CPI to 400 by default for precise aiming. The buttons on the latest G502 are clicky, sensitive, and mostly well positioned. Check out the best Amazon Prime Day gaming deals.

The G502 does charge quickly, up from nearly empty to 100% inside 90 minutes, and offers up to 60 hours of battery life with the lights off (48 hours with RGB enabled on the logo and CPI indicator). Rated for 400 IPS, so it won't drop tracking or stutter when you're wildly sweeping it across the mat, Logitech boasts the latest iteration of the HERO delivers that excellent performance at 10x the power efficiency of previous generations. The core of the G502 Lightspeed is Logitech's 16,000 CPI HERO sensor.
