Can you make a great gaming mouse even better? A user tried it, and the result is almost too good. A clip from Overwatch is causing a stir.
How can you make one of the best gaming mice in the world even better? A user probably thought the same. A tinkerer modified the G502 Hero, which according to Logitech is the most popular gaming mouse in the world, with LEGO (via logitech.com).
The result is quite impressive. The effort is minimal, but the result is significantly better. Even though some may wonder if such a lifehack isn’t cheating.
User combines LEGO motor with Logitech’s G502 Hero
This is what the user did: The user explained in a Twitter post that he attached a small motor to the scroll wheel of the G502 Hero made of LEGO. He takes advantage of a feature of the G520 Hero: With the G502 Hero, you can choose between a notched and a free-spinning scroll wheel. Nowadays, Razer even includes a free-spinning scroll wheel in its new mouse, because everyone loves this scroll wheel.
To control the motor better, he attached the construction to a glove that he can put on and take off at will. You can see the result on Twitter:
What exactly does it bring? In his test with the motor, he plays Mercy. She’s a supporter from the shooter Overwatch by Blizzard.
The tinkerer has bound both her healing and damage-boosting abilities to the scroll wheel. The motor now continuously spins the free-spinning scroll wheel, rapidly switching between attack and healing boosts so that the supported target receives both buffs.
What are the reactions? People are both surprised and stunned. One person writes on Twitter in a comment that it is “absolutely incredible” what he has done with his mouse. Others are not so sure whether what the user did with his mouse can really be legal.
The G502 Hero is one of the best-selling mice in the world

Logitech’s G502 Hero has the advantage of being a strong all-rounder: The mouse is not tied to any specific game or genre but offers many buttons, providing a lot of options when you want to customize it to your gaming 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.
