Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB Gaming Mouse Announced With Pre-Order

By David Yee

The extremely popular Logitech G502 Proteus Core gaming mouse has now been updated with RGB lighting. Now slightly renamed as the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum, the refresh recolors the mouse’s teal accents to black and the two LED light zones at the logo and DPI indicator now have customizable RGB lighting.Logitech_G502_Proteus_Spectrum_gaming_mouse

Logitech has made it very clear that this is the same G502 Proteus Core mouse with an aesthetic update. The ergonomic shape, button layour, PMW3366 optical sensor, Delta Zero tracking, and adjustable weighting system remain unchanged as reflected by the identical specifications of new and old.

Pre-ordering for the new Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is listed at the Logitech product page for $79.00 which is slightly less the $79.99 price of the old G502 Proteus Spectrum at launch. Interestingly enough, the old G502 can no longer be purchased from the Logitech webstore which suggests that it will be discontinued.
