I want to know which is better for mostly gaming and school work.

Gaming I mostly play shooting games my profession is sniping so I need to be able to move the mouse quickly, quick scope, ECT

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PRICES I HAVE MONEY TO BLOW. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHICH IS BETTER.

The G502 will have a better sensor but the cable will make it slightly harder to move your mouse. Where as the G700s will let you move it anywhere. So I would get the G700s.

Give me reasons don't just yell out products..

Thanks for explaining, both mice look great and the reviews sounds great. I like wireless but I don't dislike wires that much either. I'll wait for other comments.

You can use a cable holder like Linus suggested. Roccat and Razer make their own solutions, but you can also build it yourself.

I personally would go for the G502. I don't like wireless peripherals and the sensor is amazing from what I've heard.

Also, I don't have big hands, so I like the button placement on that mouse.

Personally i would go with the G502, it doesn't have batteries, and it is a wired mouse. I don't trust wireless mice.

Also the sensor is supposed to be great, i am getting one myself.

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

the G700s is a laser mouse, you DO NOT want laser mouse when playing shooters, as they have mouse acceleration and prediction, the G400s is one of the best fps mouses on the market, the G502 is new and possibly better, the Minoix 7000 is also a great fps mouse due to its good sensor.

I havent looked at reviews of the G502, but if they are good and you find good fps game testing of it i would get that.

The G502 is a great mouse. I have one. The G700s is a bit too heavy and bulky for my taste, and has mushy buttons I've heard. All buttons in the G502 are Omrons.

I have a G502 and have zero issues with the cable. If your cable gets caught on the back of your desk, that's the fault of your desk being cheap and not being finished in back.

The G502 is on the heavier side of mice, which might be an issue if you want to move the mouse very quickly but nonetheless it is still and excellent mouse.

Edit: whoops, I forgot that I opened this link from somewhere else and this was last year. Pls delete
