Newfag here but I need help with finding a micro usb replacement port for the G502 Lightspeed mouse. I haven't been able to find one anywhere as everyone is either selling the housing shells are the switch board but no micro usb piece. I'm probably being stupid but what is something I can buy to replace it with? (I have the tools for soldering as well)

A million different sellers on aliexpress sell either the ports directly, or devices that use the same port that you could salvage one from. Any old rechargeable device will use this, like mini motion sensing lights, flashlights, headlamps. Broken old phones will have one.

I bought a 50 pack of usb breakout boards on ebay awhile ago and just steal the socket off of those when I need one, and toss the board

Do you happen to know a seller you can recommend? If anything I'll check Aliexpress/Ebay for the breakout boards to test it out. Thank you!

Some aspects of any job or hobby are so commonplace that they often go unspoken. Sourcing the parts and materials at the foundation of your project is one of those things.
Imagine a welder asking how to find steel, a carpenter asking where to find wood, or a chef asking where fish come from.
Not only is there a cadre of big, well-known suppliers, but also an ecosystem of lesser-known specialty shops. Often, you can find something you need inside of or as a constituent part of something you already have. If worse comes to worst, you can always go out into the woods with a fucking axe, or down to the lake with a god-damned fishing pole.
To put it another way:
You're a retard. This is a retarded thread, and possibly one of the most retarded questions anywhere on the board right now, which is actually quite an incredible feat. It is, and you are, so unbelievably retarded that one is forced to wonder if you're not purposely trying to be retarded, since this level of retardation rarely occurs naturally. In the rare cases where it does, the victims of such affliction are often unable to do the simplest things, such as brushing their own teeth or wiping their own asses, much less making posts on a Rapa Nui head carving forum asking how to find something that is in practically every single piece of electronic technology from ~2010 onward.
In either case, you should do you family the honor, and humanity the favor, of killing yourself as soon as possible.

if you don't care about wireless you could solder the cable directly to the board
