Logitech sucks for what they did with this line.
They made fun of Razer for cheaping out on the switches when the original G502 came out and then cost-cut by switching out their omron switches in every subsequent generation. I've had 4 over the years and all but the original had switches that failed within a year or so, this has those.
I've had the newer G502 X model for a while now and it's fixed the double clicking issues since it moved to optical switches, but the downside is that they cheaped out on everything else while still raising the price of the mouse significantly. You lose most of the lighting that every other G502 model has had, the cable is much cheaper, etc. On the plus side, the scroll wheel feels a bit cheaper but is actually a normal scroll wheel vs the older G502 models with the clunky gear wheel.
I used the bar lights on the older G502 to track which DPI setting I was on, but newer X series just has a single light that changes color, so you'll have to remember the DPI colors instead of being able to check which number slot it was in like the older ones.
Aside from that, the cheaper cable hasn't really bothered me at all in use, so it's moot for me, but it might bother other people. You also lose adjustable weights but I never used them in my older G502 models and would actually remove the bottom door since it increased drag. The mouse is also significantly lighter, since the original G502s were pretty heavy.
