logitech g502 proteus spectruma

   One of the primary reasons people buy personal computers is to play games (some a lot, some a little, we all do at times) and that's why the gaming market is currently so strong that it even made VR happen and will most certainly continue to improve on it for the years to come (needless to say VR development will benefit other areas of the industry as well). Of course the two most popular gaming peripherals right now are still keyboards and mice and as some of you may already know Logitech has released numerous models aimed to cover every gamer out there. One of those was the excellent G502 Proteus Core tunable gaming mouse which scored extremely high in all our tests and since Logitech recognized its value (they actually listen to what gamers say and want) they just released the updated version of the G502 the Proteus Spectrum RGB Tunable Gaming Mouse which we have here with us today.


   Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users. Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system. With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control. For each of our product categories, we study how our customers use their digital devices, and then our designers and engineers set their sights on how we can create a better experience with those devices – richer, more comfortable, more fun, more productive, more convenient, and more delightful.


   After placing the specification sheets of the G502 Proteus Core and the G502 Proteus Spectrum right next to each other it's not hard to see that both mice are pretty much identical with sole difference the addition of RGB lighting (16.8 million colors) for the two available lighting zones of the second. So once again under the hood we find the same primary buttons manufactured by OMRON (20 million clicks) and the same optical (IR) Delta Zero sensor that features a maximum resolution of 12.000DPI (Dots Per Inch) with 40G's of acceleration, maximum speed of 300IPS (Inches Per Second) and 1000Hz polling rate. This sensor also supports angle-snapping and features a very useful calibration system that analyzes the type of surface the mouse is on and makes all necessary changes to offer the best possible performance/precision. We all liked using the original G502 Proteus Core (largely thanks to its ergonomic grip and weight adjustment system) so we're interested to see whether or not Logitech also changed other aspects of the mouse and not just its lighting system.
