Problem
You want to use different button setups, DPI settings, or lighting configurations for different games or applications—and quickly switch between them.
Solution
Using Logitech G Hub, you can create multiple profiles for your G502 and switch between them manually or automatically based on which program is running.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open Logitech G Hub
- Download or open G Hub from https://www.logitechg.com/ghub
- Select your G502 from the device list
2. Create a New Profile
- Click the active profile name in the top center of the G Hub window
- Click “Add New Profile”
- Name your profile (e.g., “Valorant,” “Excel,” “Video Editing”)
- Optionally assign it to an app or game:
- Click the dropdown > Assign Application
- Browse for the EXE file or select from running programs
This lets G Hub switch profiles automatically when that program is active.
3. Customize the Profile
For each profile, you can configure:
| Feature | What You Can Do |
|---|---|
| Button Assignments | Assign hotkeys, macros, system functions |
| DPI Settings | Create a unique DPI configuration |
| Lighting | Apply different RGB effects or colors |
| Polling Rate | Set to 125Hz–1000Hz for each profile (advanced use) |
Changes are stored per profile and do not affect others.
4. Switching Between Profiles
Automatically (Recommended):
- If you assigned the profile to an app, G Hub will switch when that app is focused
Manually:
- Click the profile name at the top of G Hub and select another
- Or, assign a button to the Cycle Profile command to switch on the fly
5. Use Onboard Memory (Optional)
To store profiles on the mouse:
- Go to the Onboard Memory tab in G Hub
- Click + to create a hardware-stored profile
- Drag your desired profile into one of the onboard slots
Stored profiles work without G Hub, but may have limited functionality (e.g., no macros, limited lighting).
Notes
- You can create unlimited software profiles in G Hub
- Most models support up to 5 onboard profiles
- G Hub shows which profile is active via the colored ring on the top menu bar
