Problem
You want to customize or turn off the RGB lighting on your Logitech G502 mouse, but you’re not sure where the settings are or how to save them.
Solution
You can control the G502’s lighting using Logitech G Hub, which allows you to adjust colors, brightness, effects, and sync lighting across supported devices.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open Logitech G Hub
- Download or open G Hub from https://www.logitechg.com/ghub
- Select your G502 mouse in the device list
2. Go to the Lighting Settings
- Click the “LIGHTSYNC” tab or Lighting icon on the left side
- This opens the lighting configuration panel for your mouse
3. Choose a Lighting Mode
You can select from several lighting modes:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed | Set a solid, unchanging color |
| Color Cycle | Automatically cycle through colors |
| Breathing | Fade in/out in one or multiple colors |
| Screen Sampler | Matches lighting to your screen’s content (e.g., games, videos) |
| Audio Visualizer | Reacts to sound playing through your system |
Click the desired mode to apply it.
4. Adjust Lighting Options
Each mode offers:
- Color selection: Pick custom or preset colors
- Speed: Control animation speed
- Brightness: Slide from 0–100%
- Zones: Some models allow multiple lighting zones (e.g., logo, perimeter)
On the G502 X Plus, zones may include logo, wheel, and rim.
5. Save Settings to Profile or Onboard Memory
- Changes are saved to the current G Hub profile
- To store settings on the mouse:
- Go to the Onboard Memory tab
- Apply your desired lighting and click Save to Device
6. To Turn Off Lighting Completely
- Set the brightness slider to 0%
- Or choose the Fixed Color mode and select black
- For always-off lighting, save this configuration to onboard memory
Troubleshooting Tips
- If lighting isn’t responding:
- Make sure G Hub is running
- Reconnect the mouse or reboot G Hub
- Try switching USB ports
- Lighting may turn off when battery is low (wireless models) to conserve power
