Debating whether or not I should buy a Logitech G502 or a Corsair Vengeance M65. I really don't know much about mice, so any input would be really helpful. I personally am not that big of a fan of how the 502 looks, but people here seem to love it, and I don't know how Corsair mice are. Help please?

Best mouse for PC gaming?

Probably going to come down to personal preference for feel. Have no experience with Corsair mice but have a Logitech G500 and it feels/works great. I will probably stick with logitech in the future.

When mouse shopping I'd tried both out among others. Personally I think the G502 felt better not only when gripping, but with the buttons as well. I wound up going with the G502.

The G502 is touted as one of the best out right and I can totally agree with that. Honestly, I dont myself changing mouse any time soon. The feel of it and build quality is awesome. The grip on the sides and optional weights is great.
As for the optical sensor, everything has been on point as it should be. No weird lags or stutters.
Among the best of sensors. Straight raw, no acceleration like laser mices tend to have.
As for the look, I too wasn't a fan of it in pictures, but that changed once I got it. The lights are all customizable too so if you want them off, that is an option.
To note, Logitech also has great warranty for the time I dealt with them.

I've had mine for 7 years. Used almost every day. I've no idea what I'll do when it dies :/G5 v2
after 5 years still works like is new
Thanks guys! Just bought a 502 through Prime Now. Since I was a first time user of the service I got my mouse for 38. Nice.

I use the Steel Series Sensei Wireless. It's considered to be the best wireless gaming mouse. There is zero input lag and it blows away my previous mouse which was the Razor Mamba 4G Piece of Shit Edition. The build quality is exceptional and it can be used left or right handed.

I am still using a CM Storm Spawn, and I love the feel of this little guy. It is so comfy. Before this I had a CM Storm Xornet, but the mouse wheel broke on that

All I can think about is how their logo resemble's Destiny's.
I've heard that the build quality sucks for something called "final" mouse.

Is there a wireless mouse of the same quality as the G502? Not needed, but would be nice. My 518 is getting up in years.

Can you finger tip grip a 502?

In my opinion yes. At least for the basic functionality. Trying to use all the buttons in quick succession has me adjusting to different grips, though.

I feel the same about my MX518. I have no idea what I'm going to do when it inevitably quits on me.

That's the mouse I use, great performance/battery life and I can tell no difference between the wired and wireless modes.

My Deathadder 3.5G just died after 5 years. But it had issues whith the wheel scroll shortly after running out of warranty and it was a replacement for an original Deathadder that developed double click right before warranty expiring. So far Razer support have been awful and useless, and having both mices failing on the same time bracket doesn't help. I love the ergonomics and the looks once I turn off the Razer logo led, so the natural successor would be Chroma. But I have been reading a lot of praise for the G502 and it looks like offers more for the prize. But both ergonomics and looks are terrible on my eyes, since I hate the gamer looking stuff. I also had good feedback from Logitech support in the past.
It's like the decission should be taken, but I really love the Deathadder.

I like my g600, I use the 'mmo buttons' for far more than mmos, like right now im playing witcher 2 I use them for signs.

Upgraded to a G602 from a beloved G500 and I'M very happy. Same feel, responsiveness but with more buttons and wireless. I never liked wireless mouses before but love this one as the batteries last forever. This thing can last a month without charging or putting in fresh batteries. Those looking for a upgrade from the G500 will be very happy.

CM Storm Spawn here too- bought it on recommendation of the PC thread and I've been loving it for a couple years now. Don't think I can go back to a full palm mouse even for non-gaming.
I have the Logitech G400 and G502, the 502 obviously being the newer one.
You really can't go wrong with Logitech mice from my experience. It's too bad the mice for gaming LOOK like gaming mice now though, I think the 502 looks great but I understand it's not for everyone. I actually gifted the G400 to my dad for office work because he wanted a wired mouse and it looks like just a basic old office mouse. If you can get your hands on a G400 by all means go for it, but as far as I know they're not really that easy to find new.
I had a Razer Naga at one point too but I wasn't really a fan, I dunno how the other ones are though.

I really like SteelSeries mice because they mix aesthetics and performance perfectly IMO. I own the Sensei RAW:
Simple, sleek, ergonomic, great sensor, perfect amount of buttons, and looks great on my desk.
I keep hearing great things about the Logitech G502 but it's so ugly and gawdy and gamer-y that I just would never want it on my desk:
That's just my preference though. To each their own!

Currently using a logitech G700s (for maximum comfy couch and maximum nosferatu).
So far the build quality has been great and I only hope it lasts long and does not have the problem of the death adders I have used in the past: namely, my strange claw grip on the mouse tends to bust the left click function. I tend to push down on the section of the left click that is in the middle... next to the scroll wheel.
