Scores: Razer Basilisk V4 Pro 8/10 · Logitech G502 X Plus 8/10

Logitech G502 X Plus is the cleaner pick for single-PC gaming: LIGHTFORCE switches have a tactile edge that Razer's pure optical clicks can't replicate, and G-Hub cloud sync is genuinely useful. Razer Basilisk V4 Pro wins if you bounce between devices or want 30% more battery life. At $10 more, the Basilisk's multi-device case is narrow — for a dedicated gaming mouse, G502 X Plus wins.

Razer Basilisk V4 Pro

What works

Optical Gen-3 switches actuate in 0.2ms with no debounce delay — eliminates the double-click issues that plagued Omron-based competition
90-hour wireless life is 50% longer than G502 X Plus — weekly charging vs every 5 days
Triple connectivity (HyperSpeed, Bluetooth, USB) lets one mouse work across gaming PC, secondary laptop, and tablet

What doesn't

112g is 12g heavier than G502 X Plus — heavier than the current enthusiast-preferred sub-80g trend
Razer Synapse software requires an account and cloud sync — offline profile storage requires a workaround
$159 is $10 more for a mouse that's harder to justify vs sub-$100 competitors

Logitech G502 X Plus

What works

LIGHTFORCE switches combine optical actuation speed with physical tactile feedback — feels like a real click, reacts like optical
LIGHTSYNC RGB under-chassis lighting without impacting the 60-hour battery
G-Hub integration with cloud profiles means settings roam to any G502 X on any PC without setup

What doesn't

60-hour battery vs Basilisk's 90 hours — needs charging every 4-5 days for heavy users
LIGHTSPEED only (no Bluetooth) means it pairs to one device at a time via USB receiver
25600 DPI sensor ceiling is lower than Basilisk's 30000 — academic for gameplay but worth noting for multi-monitor 8K setups

Bottom line

Our pick: Logitech G502 X Plus. It edges out the alternative on lightforce switches combine optical actuation speed with physical tactile feedback — feels like a real click, reacts like optical. That said, Razer Basilisk V4 Pro still wins on optical gen-3 switches actuate in 0.2ms with no debounce delay — eliminates the double-click issues that plagued omron-based competition — consider it if that single trade matters most for your use.
