Overall, the Logitech Proteus Core G502 is an excellent gaming mouse – especially if you are from the future! As displays eventually increase in resolution, we will need more sensitive mice to keep pace and the G502 ticks that box perfectly, If you are already on the Ultra HD 4K bandwagon or even have two of them, this could very well be the mouse you need right now. Whether it's the mouse you want however, will depend on your personal preference.

The Proteus Core is heavy and can be made heavier still (for the real men among you), but take into consideration it is a palm gamer first and everything else second. You can play with it your own way, but there will be quite a lengthy adjustment period. If you are used to lighter mice, you may have a moment where you consider switching back just to save your wrist.

The scroll wheel is annoying too and it all felt a little too big for my hand, but I do have small digits, so chances are that problem won't affect you.

That said, these minor quibbles fall at the wayside when you consider how fantastic the sensor is. Yes it is incredibly powerful for contemporary gaming with a single screen, but for those of you with multiple Ultra HD 4K monitors it may very well be just what you want to buy next.

You can buy the Logitech Proteus Core G502 in the UK from retailers such as Scan. We feel at £70 this mouse offers fantastic value for money, especially if you want to own a cutting edge, quality sensor.
