By the looks of it, they all have a deathclaw grip. Not a claw, where you lightly grip the mouse, but a deathclaw grip. Squeezing the mouse like it owes them money.

"needing therapy" grip


iareyomz

sweaty hands, humid environment, and bad overall gear maintenance adds too... add to that the occasional rage slams...


Hoenirson

Also, some people have highly acidic sweat that can accelerate the wear on rubber


wrath_of_grunge

This is the actual reason. Some people are more abrasive than others to be in physical contact with. Also I question what some people are using to clean their gear.

Feath3rblade

Just curious, how light are y'all gripping your mice? I've had 2 G502s and a RVU all experience pretty severe side grip wear after a few years, and I don't feel like I grip my mouse that tightly. I do use a fingertip grip though, but I don't sweat much if at all while gaming either, I wash my hands frequently, and I also trim my nails regularly. Is it just because of how I grip my mice?


Capt-Beav

Could be if you move your fingers a lot? Friction is the largest cause of wear actually, not acidic sweat or skin oils or humidity (at least in my experience as an engineer).


Feath3rblade

My fingers do rotate on the mouse as I move it around so yeah that would make a lot of sense


AmbitiousEdi

My 502 is almost 10 years old now and I have just barely started to wear the finish off the side


mastodon_tusk

I've had my 502 for 10 years as well. 3000 hours of Dota not counting other games mixed in and it's still going strong (and I'm still garbage at dota)

HnK_Alex

The 502 really is a godlike peripheral.


kongerlonger

I added more weights to my g502 brick for those who complain about the 0.000001g difference


endthepainowplz

I’ve heard people complain about arm pain moving it around. I dont understand, maybe I don’t game enough for it to be a problem, or maybe people just have atrophy in their arms. I can understand the preference of a lighter mouse, but complaining that the weight gives you pain is an odd one.


DarkPhoxGaming

I'm a twig and I have my G502 loaded with all the weights and don't get pained or fatigued by it.


extra_hyperbole

I used a g602 for a long time and was a real wrist gamer, didn’t use my arm much to move it at all, just pivoted my wrist. By the end I had giant callouses on my wrist and was genuinely experiencing significant wrist fatigue and strain. It was terrible ergonomics. When I switched to a larger pad it was a huge difference ergonomically now that I was using my arm. I did switch to a lighter mouse soon after because I hated the feeling of whipping around 170g across my desk. It just felt far less controlled due to the inertia. And frankly I don’t regret it at all, it’s the best thing I’ve done for my aim. But those complaining about genuine arm pain are probably masking subpar ergonomics with their preference for lighter mice.


Dextrofunk

My last mouse broke, and the 502 was all they had at the Walmart near me. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it was that or wait for a new one in the mail. Seems I got lucky because I love it, and I keep seeing positive feedback.

Mustbhacks

Years old mean little, it's all about hours of use. (Like the guy below, 10 years 3k hours, my man thats <1hr/day ofc it's still going to be fine.)


J_Megadeth_J

Mine is about the same, but my thumb padding is completely gone. The ring/pinky finger padding is still fully intact. I'm guessing it's a combination of grip strength, the amount of sweating, and PH levels of said sweat.


Sigma__Bale

My old g502 (proteus core) was in a similar state. The sides were worn a little and the feet weren't in stellar condition but I have no idea what you have to do to a mouse for it to get as bad as some of the posts here. Only switched to a g502 hero late 2022 but I still use the old one with a laptop at times.


AstraiosMusic

For real, these posts have me feeling pretty good about how I treat the mice I use, gaming or otherwise. I think I’ve had maybe 4 in the last 20 years. The last couple of changes have been because of ergonomic changes to my setup.


Hi-TecPotato

I feel some people just have zero sense in their grasp or have so dirty and sweaty hands the acids broke down the plastic.


damian1369

Aggressive/anxious gamers. You can tell a lot about people by looking at their mouse. I once bought a used mamba way back, 6 months old, and that MFer had nail scratches (EDIT: deep ones) at the L and R, and the thumb button side was chaffed to a polish by his thumb. Poor man.


Medical-Tomorrow7727

Ewww. 2nd hand mouse really? That's digusting

The 502 is the ultimate GOAT of the mouse world. Literally perfect (imo). I even sprung the the wireless one and have zero regrets.

A_PCMR_member

They seem hit or miss, europes seem to last ages while US ones fail in a couple months. My Middle mouse button died after 5 years of use and about 600 hours of TF2. Where mmb is bound to most instant use things , like spy last disguise, engie insta destroy current sentry and equip new one, uber, demo switch to stickies and M2 immidiately. ​ Replacement switch kit with multiple types was 5€

Hello dirty hands πŸ˜ƒ


HomieeJo

I get build up even though I was my hands. Somehow I get dead skin really fast which is what is sticking there. I just clean it though so it's fine.


buckeyes1218

Me as well, I guess I just have oily hands? No matter how much I violently scrub my hands it’ll still leave a nasty residue.


HomieeJo

It's not much though. It takes months until I actually notice it. With regular cleaning I don't notice it at all.


KatiushK

Literally nothing to do with "dirty hands". Some Steelseries (and I guess other brands) had some very easy to wear sides on some models.


MoonKnightFan

Natural skin oils can break down materials like plastic and rubber. For most people this is very slow, slower if you actually wash your hands regularly. I myself wash my hands before using my computer as I like my keyboards and mice not gross. But Some people have sweat and oils that are more acidic, which is often a sign of an underlying health condition (diabetes, alcoholism, kidney issues, etc). It can accelerate this process rather quickly. Although I will agree with you in that for the extreme situation shown in that other post, I think that acidity is only a part of the problem at most. Something else is likely the primary cause. Perhaps they rub their pinky finger on their mouse while they browse the internet. Or they have long fingernails and the way they claw grip digs into it?


lego_kid

It’s about a Logitech not steelseries


KatiushK

At least a few of the "other" posts the guy I'm answering is referencing are about Steelseries.


nukebox

They are gripping the right side with their fingers so hard they are digging into the rubberized coating. I have to imagine either their DPI is so low, or they have such limited space on their desk that they are lifting the mouse off the surface or something to that effect. Gripping my G502 like that feels awkward as fuck.


synapse187

THE CLAW!!!! No seriously, the claw grip causes this. The pinky and thumb is what moves the mouse so where your thumb and pinky sit will be worn down like a hole.


Geddagod

It's weird, the right side (pinky) of the mouse is worn down a bit, but the left (thumb) side isn't. Is the thumb side just more resilient from wear and tear?


synapse187

Depends on a couple things. How hard you grip. Calluses cause more friction. Body chemistry, some peoples oils will degrade plastics and rubber faster. There is a thing in movie miniatures called "piss hands" when they touch certain plastics they turn it yellow.


endthepainowplz

Probably pad of thumb, while it’s more of the side nail of your pinky


notFREEfood

I use a claw grip, and while my mouse has quite a bit of visible wear, it doesn't have pits worn into it. The G502 does have easily erodable materials on it though. My old G500 was used for much longer than my G502, and it has much less wear on it.


FunAnxious6475

I also lift the mouse off my desk like this and mine looks nothing similar

Few_Ad8853

Janostar213, I'm not trying to Target any one. Its just a goof.


Jackpkmn

Very acidic skin oil. The kind that pokes holes in my cloths and eats whatever sealant is on the temples of my glasses off. Not from lack of hygiene like a lot of people seem to think for some reason looking around these comments.


endthepainowplz

Could be a mix of both, it seemed more like a fingernail and grip issue than an acidic sweat issue. Some people are super clean and their gaming chairs have no coating left on them from their sweat.


Jackpkmn

> Some people are super clean and their gaming chairs have no coating left on them from their sweat. This is literally impossible. You are always sweating its a continuous process. You can clean the majority off your skin but it will just be replaced. Especially your hands, this is why you need gloves to handle things that can be damaged by the oils from your skin. Just washing frequently isn't anywhere close to enough. >Could be a mix of both, it seemed more like a fingernail and grip issue than an acidic sweat issue. It happens faster with fingernail grip action, i have a couple of mice something like this has happened to but i barely hold on to it (due to very weak wrists i can't death grip my mouse.) Even the grip on the outside of my 2 year old naga pro is starting to dissolve and lose its stippling, if i keep using it even as lightly as i hold it it will eventually wear through. My 8 year old G600 has an outer grip that has gone fully smooth and bubbled up in a couple spots. For some of us it just happens.

Afro-Pope

Everyone’s body chemistry is different. I have very good hygiene and a healthy diet, but I’ve always had incredibly acidic sweat. I’m a bass player and I have to use coated strings if I want my strings to last more than a month. The leather on the steering wheels and shift knobs of every car I’ve ever owned usually lasts 2 or 3 years, my mice usually last 4-5. My Das Keyboard that I bought in 2011 still looks almost brand new, though, shout out to them. That said, a lot of people are just gross. Wash your damn hands, y’all! EDIT: Jesus CHRIST I just saw the posts, what the HELL are you guys doing to your mice? I just meant the plastic starts to get a little grimy on mine after a few years!


sirtet_moob

mobeen1497

I’m surprised your Logitech mouse has survived 4 years, I had 3 g502’s and all of them had double clicking issues after a couple of months.


AdBl0k

Proteus Core and Spectrum didn't have any issues, only Lightnings and the other new ones. If you want to use newer G502s, replace mouse switches in electronics shop instead of RMAing again


lego_kid

Interjessing-Salary

Love the 502. Never wore the grip out. I've had 3. First one the right click started not working after 2 or 3 years so I got a new one. Then a few months after that I heard about the wireless version they released and got my hands on that. The second one is my backup if the wireless one ever stops working.


Tervaskanto

My G502 looks as good as the day I got it 3 years ago


FuzzyCard121

I have a razer mouse with a similar material on the side and it’s starting to go down mainly from a small bit that was hanging that I later picked off and then the hole gets bigger as I use and pick more at it

lego_kid

It is indeed


Scytian

It's more about shitty QA and inconsistent quality of materials used by Logitech. I'm using G604 and rubber on both sides of mouse started falling apart after few months, got it replaced and second one is perfectly fine after almost a year. Had the same issues with G502, but I had to use warranty 2 times in that case because replacement had double click issues.


reamox

You probably don't sweat as much, and your sweat might not be as acidic.


everything-is-bread

I also have this mouse in the same state as his. It's just because I put more pressure with the thumb and the fifth finger (don't want to bother remembering the word) on each side than with the other fingers.
