I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I used to feel this way about the mx510/mx518/g400s

Now I have a 502 light speed but I want something lighter

I still feel that way about the old MX510/518/400 line. When the G series first came out, Target had a whole shelf of MX518 on 90% off clearance and I bought them all. Gave a bunch away as gifts, but they lasted me almost until Logitech made the re-release of the MX518 with newer internals. I bought a few of them and am still on the first one after a few years. I bought a 502 on clearance to see if they were any better than the MX518. Nope, so it's now living in the backup hardware box.

I've kept my g400s as a backup, and my mx510 is still packed away for nostalgia. I even put new feet on it!

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

I went through so many feet on my old MX510 and MX518 that I bought a huge roll of 1/2" wide industrial teflon tape to put over the feet. The newer models have much bigger and thicker feet so that's not needed anymore, but man those old ones wore away quick.

Even without the weights inside?

I've got the wired version (Hero and X versions) and the X version is very light (to me anyway)

[–] dlok@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yea even with the weights in, think I want to try a G pro

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It's probably not too hard to undo a couple screws and glue a fishing weight in there, if it bothers you.
