That looks small. Curious if it really is or if the wheel placement is giving it that illusion. I can literally palm the 600 and it fits my hand perfectly. I have sworn never to go back to a mouse that I have to clutch. So much easier on the hand. Who knew..
The back row of buttons again. Do most people who buy these mice actually use the back rows? It looks like that one might have the same issues as the 600. I'm not talking about assigning a buff to them and only using it once every hour. I mean do people really assign main skills to those. Attacks, debuffs, roots/snares, whatever. Stuff you actually use on the fly.

Do you use a palm or a claw grip?
Palm. I don't like to claw. It can be hard on the hand after awhile.
You do not need all those side buttons to be honest. Also the fact that there are a few rows of them makes using them a bit confusing. I prefer the one I linked the G 700 because it has 11 buttons. 4 you use with your thumb. 3 with your index in the front left side of mouse. Then another 3 on your middle finger which is the side scrolls and the press down scroll plus one more below the scroll. The last one is to switch profiles. With programming you can get 44 buttons(alt,shift,control). Seriously you do not need that many. 11 is more than enough and it does not suffer from being too big like the G600 mouse. The fact that you use two fingers and a thumb make them less confusing and easier in my book.
I cant afford a G700 but i can go for a G602 or G502. Which one would you choose? Is there some disadvantage that G602 is wireless?

I own a G600 and I love it. Mapped 2 most used (builder and main spender) to g13 and g16 and branch out from there. I use the g-shift key as a push to talk instead of g-shift.
There was a huge discount on Amazon UK I kinda bought the G600. (On the last white G600 mouse...hope it is not a defective one )You see I was having insane issues with having to hold right click down and hit the 3 buttons my index finger would use. I cannot manage for the life of me and I tried for like 2 hours but my old craggy fingers will not budge and I cannot learn it. I tried two addons actioncontrol and lockdown and both of them almost got me killed because it made my strafing bugged and my smooth strafe killing became 'OMG I am going to die because I am locked in this awful angle'.
I am 54 year old housewife and I have a lot of problems with learning new things although I do try. Hey you have no idea how long it took me to learn circle strafing. So I dumped the two addons. I then remapped my mouse to the side buttons my thumb controls to 1-4. I used to attack and was able to at times hold the right mouse button to do the run forward 180 degree mouseturns and a tad more control over the telegraphs. With practice I think I can get smoother at it and PvP man !! That made me think of this thread and the G600. So I went looking and it was on offer. It is actually cheaper than the G700. Which is like 105 Euros compared to 68 Euros for the G600.
As for your question. The positioning of the G502 buttons look a bit unwieldly. I think the G602 is better because of the 6 side buttons that seem to be more accessible and again it is on the thumb side better control in my opinion. If you need to use mouseturn it is better to put most of the buttons on your thumb.
My experience with wireless has only been to lose the battery at the crucial time and running for new ones and I have experienced very rarely though a loss of signal. Could be the mountain of crap on my table is the reason for that though.
Mouse just arrived and I have programmed it. Now to go whack my muscle memory out of joint and teach it new things. Will tell you how it goes. Right now I am afraid the middle bar of numbers are going to be difficult to intuitively get to. The mouse is kinda wide.

The Logitech G600 is probably a good choice.
