Hyperfast Scroll Wheel
The G502 features Logitech’s exclusive dual-mode hyperfast scroll wheel Click the button right below the wheel (Button G12) to switch between the two modes
Tips
Weight and balance tuning is very much an exercise in personal preference
Generally speaking, more weight makes it easier to control high DPI settings,
while less weight makes low-DPI gaming less fatiguing Centering weights along
an imaginary line between your thumb and right-side grip finger(s) will help
maintain optimal front-to-back balance.
The effects of changing weights may not be immediately apparent After changing
the position or number of weights, give yourself some time to experience the
difference before changing them again.
Try the default profile settings in practice games before changing these
settings.
Advanced gamers can customize each game according to their specific button
configuration and sensitivity switching needs The Logitech Gaming Software
stores this information and applies it automatically when the game is
detected.
