Three surface presets are included which are the factory default, G240 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad, and G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Pad. The G502 Proteus Core is the first Logitech mouse to feature adaptive surface tuning. Pointer settings can be global or by checking the “per profile settings” checkbox, can be assigned to each game profile. New profiles can be added manually or from selecting from an extensive list of games with available commands.Ĭompared to onboard profiles, locally stored profiles are capable of a wider range of mouse buttons commands. In this mode, individual games can be configured with their own button assignments. Switching to Automatic Game Detection mode activates settings the locally stored G502 mouse profiles.

The available mouse commands in on-board mode are much more limited than the commands available in local game detection mode. When the assigned G-Shift button is held, the other mouse buttons will have their alternate shifted commands. G-Shift acts like a keyboard modifier for the mouse. If one of the mouse buttons is assigned the G-Shift command, G-Shift assignments will be available. This submenu combines the mouse button commands and pointer settings. When changing on-board settings, any of the three profiles can be disabled from the top. Also to the right and above pointer settings is a switch that toggles between on-board profile settings and locally stored settings. To the right, clicking the icon of the pointer with the gear will go to pointer settings. Clicking the glowing mouse buttons on the graphic will go to macro customization. Menu navigation is placed to the bottom and on the large mouse graphic. The main menu features a large graphic of the G502 mouse. Logitech SetPoint which is used for other non-gaming Logitech products will not recognize Logitech gaming products. Logitech Gaming Software is also used for other Logitech gaming products and settings for each device can be accessed from within the software control panel.

The software is required for modifying onboard mouse profiles including macro commands and sensitivity settings. The G502 Proteus Core does not come with a software disk and instead Logitech Gaming Software must be downloaded from the Logitech Support website.
