In the world of competitive gaming, every advantage counts. That's where custom settings for your Logitech gaming mouse come in. With Logitech's versatile gaming mice, like the G502 HERO or the G Pro X Superlight, you can customize almost every aspect of your mouse to suit your specific needs, from DPI settings to button configurations and RGB lighting. In this guide, we'll walk you through the essential settings that will enhance your gameplay experience and give you that competitive edge.
Customizing DPI Settings
DPI is a critical factor when it comes to gaming precision. The higher the DPI, the faster the cursor moves on-screen for a given movement. Here's how you can adjust your DPI settings:
Steps to Adjust DPI in Logitech G HUB or Logitech Options:
Open Logitech G HUB or Logitech Options
Select your mouse from the dashboard
Find the DPI settings and adjust them to your preference
Why DPI Matters
FPS (First-Person Shooters): Lower DPI (around 400–800) helps with precise aiming and targeting

MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas): Medium DPI (around 1200–2000) is ideal for fast movements while maintaining control

MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online): Higher DPI (2000–4000) can help navigate large maps quickly and execute complex combos

Customizing Buttons and Macros
Most Logitech gaming mice feature programmable buttons that allow you to reassign commands for quick access. Here's how you can set them up:
Steps to Remap Buttons:
Open Logitech G HUB.
Select your mouse.
Go to the "Assignments" tab
Drag and drop actions to specific buttons on your mouse
Macros allow you to automate complex sequences of actions (such as combos in MMOs or quick-switching in FPS). For example, you can map a single button to a series of keystrokes or in-game commands to save time during crucial moments.
Personalizing RGB Lighting
RGB lighting isn't just for looks—it's also functional. Customizing the lighting can not only make your setup look cooler but also provide visual cues during gameplay.
How to Customize RGB Lighting:
Open Logitech G HUB
Go to the "LIGHTSYNC" section
Choose between static, breathing, or color-shift effects
Select colors that align with your gaming or aesthetic preferences
Functional RGB Lighting:
For some games, you can sync your RGB lighting to reflect in-game actions. For example, your mouse can change color when your health is low, or it could pulse when you're in combat mode.
