How good is a gaming mouse that is represented three times in the bestsellers of Amazon? MeinMMO took a look at the mouse.
What are these bestsellers? The retailer Amazon creates so-called “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These numbers are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. Therefore, it is easy to see which products are currently popular among potential customers.
Currently, a specific gaming mouse from Logitech is highly sought after by customers. And not just once, as the mouse is represented three times in the top 10.
Logitech’s gaming mouse is considered an absolute all-rounder for numerous games
What kind of mouse is this? The currently best-selling mouse on Amazon is the G502 Hero. It is represented on Amazon in three different variants:
- Once as a version with German packaging
- Another time as a version with EU packaging
- A third time as a wireless version (Lightspeed)
Interestingly, there is no real difference between the German and the EU version. Only the packaging looks a bit different, but the mouse is identical. The fact is that the mouse is frequently and willingly purchased by many customers.
What is the advantage of the mouse? Logitech’s G502 Hero has the advantage of being a strong all-rounder: the mouse is not limited to any specific game or genre, but offers many possibilities with numerous buttons if you want to customize it to your play style:
- If you are currently playing a shooter, you can remove the weights from the mouse and configure the sniper button, or assign gadgets or your secondary weapon to the additional buttons.
- If you prefer playing an MMORPG, you can assign important spells or skills to the buttons on the mouse.
This flexibility makes Logitech’s gaming mouse so popular among gamers. So popular, in fact, that one user even went and transformed the G502 Hero into a bow that can actually be used for gaming.
How good is the mouse? MeinMMO lists the Logitech G502 Hero among the currently best gaming mice that you want to buy for your gaming setup. This is due to both the many features and the really good sensor. The weight system is a nice gimmick, but we have rarely used it in practice in the editorial office.
So if you haven’t settled on a genre yet or are simply looking for a flexible mouse that offers many possibilities, then the G502 Hero is still a real recommendation today. Especially since you can get the mouse for currently €39.99, which is the current best price for the device.

The most well-known clone of the G502 Hero makes it into the top 20
The Razer Basilisk V3 lands at 11th place among the bestsellers on Amazon, narrowly missing the top 10. The Basilisk series from Razer is always referred to as a clone of the G502 Hero, as it cleverly mimics the good ergonomics of the Logitech mouse. With the V3, Razer even tried to emulate the unique free-spinning scroll wheel of the G502.
What other alternatives are there? Another alternative could be the Rival 5 from SteelSeries. Although this mouse is not represented in the top 20 on Amazon, it is still considered a good alternative. The Rival 5 is significantly lighter at 85 g compared to the G502 Hero. However, some buttons are harder to reach than with Logitech’s competition.
How well the direct competition of the G502 Hero performs in detailed testing can be read here on MeinMMO. Because we compared the two gaming mice and tell you which mouse is better or which might be better suited for you:
Does the new Rival 5 outperform the best-selling mouse in the world?
