Logitech G502 Hero wired mouse on sale for $30 at Lenovo to replace a dying Razer. I heard it's a good mouse and I hope I will like it.

The skates and the side grip both fell off mine. A far cry from the old G5 I had that lasted 10 years. These new logitechs demand you install software and they barely last a year for me

I run Linux so hopefully I either don't need the software or there is some open source implementation I can use.

I've been using a G Pro Wireless without software for almost 2 years now?

I have had that Logitech mouse for ages (and the predecessor) and love it.

this G hub software is pretty bad tho, am i missing somthing, i cant seem to tell it to write to the deivce i only want 900 dpi, on whatever im using. its either a snail or a rabbit.

What OS are you on? Most my experience with ghub is windows. I think I have 4 dpi stops set and it's typically defaulting to the lower middle one - unless I'm gaming.

I believe there's options to have the mouse run in device mode (settings stored there, but I think the features are more limited) or via ghub where the settings might be stored on the computer. I'd need to dig in again though to remember, I've not touched it ghub settings in a while.

Does that mouse by any chance not make too much noise when clicking? Need to find one desperately.
