Solid Gaming Mouse at Approachable Price

INTRO: I've owned this mouse for over three years and have never been gentle with it. It's gone overseas stuffed in a backpack, been used as a makeshift pillow (on those late night gaming sessions where the body quits before the will...), been stepped on, dropped, left in the sun, left in the cold, and has even had an accidental steam spa session in a hotel bathroom. Now it spends its days shoved in a backpack to and from my university. Like I said, it's never been treated gently. And yet, it's going strong. It's as responsive as the day I got it (there is zero input lag and anybody who tells you differently needs to review the he response rate of the human nervous system, which is slower than this mouse), the lettering hasn't worn off at all, and everything is in perfect working order. This mouse was a good purchase. FEATURES: Ergonomics: This mouse is comfortable and really holds your hand well. My girlfriend often attempts to The side buttons are easily distinguished from one another and are comfortable to use. Adjustable DPI: The adjustable DPI buttons are often useful for gaming. As an example, when playing Overwatch I'll set my DPI rather high when using Junkrat but drop it nice and low for Widowmaker. Or, while playing the Witcher 3, I'll adjust my DPI on the fly if I'm fighting, going through conversation options, or navigating my inventory. Battery Life: I change the batteries on this little guy a few times a year. I can't even tell you how long they last because it's too long to track; it's just not something I ever think about. Logitech bundles the mouse with optional software that will tell you when your battery life is low, as well. It's worth noting here that I [mostly] turn the mouse off when not in use. The mouse is equipped with an energy saving mode that I never use unless my battery begins to die. Sensor: This mouse can be used on MOST surfaces, with very few exceptions. First, the surface must be flat. Dips or bumps will affect tracking. Second, it can't be wet. Moisture can affect the senor. Besides that, I've yet to find a surface the mouse struggles with. I've even used it on fabric furniture arms for gaming, which wasn't ideal due to drag... but the mouse tracked perfectly nonetheless. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has--if you've had issues, leave me a comment. I'm curious. Performance: The mouse has a listed response rate of 2ms. Despite the assertions of many hardcore gamers, they cannot detect lag from a device like this; a wireless mouse is absolutely adequate for gaming. The average human brain has a response ceiling at around 12ms, so claiming one can detect input lag on a 2ms mouse is ludicrous. CONCLUSION: If you want a SOLID gaming mouse that is comfortable, durable, and versatile, that combines outstanding battery life and game-ready performance, I recommend you consider this device. It has never let me down despite the abuse I've leveled against it and I continue to use it to this day. I've had several friends buy them after playing a bit on mine, even when the price ranged between $50-$70. Now at only $40 it's a no-brainer.

I'm lovin' it

I am updating this review and eating crow. After browsing for a replacement that could do all the things that I use this mouse for on a daily basis, I simply couldn't find one. I ordered what is my second G602 and am so happy I did. I work 40-60 hour weeks as a game developer, so my mouse (regardless of the model) gets a ton of use. When the left mouse button on my old G602 started to fail, I was getting ghost clicks and finding it incredibly difficult to keep the left mouse button down. Since my replacement arrived I a bit surprised at the difference vs. the old one. Somewhere along the line I had forgotten what this gem was like when I first ordered it. I love the weight. I love the programmable buttons on the side, which allow me to play/pause/build games with a quick flick of the thumb. Apparently the bottom of the old one had seen better days as well, as the new one glides along my mouse pad effortlessly. This mouse pairs perfectly with my G710+ keyboard, and apologies to Logitech (a company whose products I have used for as long as I can remember) for leaving a 3-star review previously. Did the mouse last as long as I'd hoped; not really. But for the price, I got my money's worth and then some... and then some, and then some. To the point I am tempted to stock-pile some of these for the future.

This does not use the unifying receiver. But it is great

For the price you can't beat it. Technology might have moved on a bit but I own a ton of Logitech mice and this still works wonderful. It is about the size of the Performance MX. While it doesn't have the literal thumb button the 6 on the side, where the normal 2 (of most mice), are easy to reach and distinguish between each other. This doesn't work with the unifying receiver. So if you are limited on USB ports this might not work for you. The nice thing it comes with is a USB extension cord. So worrying about the receiver's reception isn't a problem. It's also a right hand only model. The ergonomics are pretty good but not perfect. I still find the Performance MX and MX Master/Master S2 to be the best in that area. Customizations are really good for this. There are "11" G keys but I personally believe that you can't count left and right click as G keys (but maybe some of you do program those so it is possible). It has a DPi changer (which is pre programed to two of the 9 keys) and the software is the solid Logitech Gaming software that most will already know well. Just buy it if you're looking for a good solid desktop mouse. Note: I am not using this for gaming. I have wired mice and the G903 with wireless charging for that (far right in picture)

Photo retouching

Photography is my career, it’s how I make my living. While this is a gaming mouse, I became interested in it because several trusted professional photographic sources listed it as one of the best choices for photo editing and retouching. They also addressed the most obvious question why not use a graphics tablet. I do but like so many other photographers I don’t always find a graphics tablet natural or intuitive to use for certain tasks. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Gaming mice have at least two features that can make them a good choice for photo editing. One is precision, have you ever tried to draw a circle with a mouse? Drawing a circle freehand isn’t easy anyway but it’s a good test if a pointing device can move with precision. This one is one of the best I’ve tried for being able to move it precisely. One of the other top characteristics a mouse needs is low lag, which also happens to be a key feature for gamers. The cheap wired mouse that came with my computer has less lag than any wireless mouse I’ve owned. This one is impressive, it doesn’t need to “wake up” when you start to move it. Having multiple macro buttons is an advantage as well, although not a necessity. WHY LOGITECH Or I should say why not Logitech. I’ve owned at least 10 Logitech mice and have a love/hate relationship with them. They generally feel the best physically in-hand and have a solid construction. But they are legend for not lasting long and some of the most rock bottom customer support I’ve ever encountered, and of course being expensive. I fought getting this one but switching brands wasn’t working out for me either (I’ve bought 5 mice just this year). The only reason I gave in is for whatever reason they had it priced down with the cheapies so if I didn’t like it I wouldn’t be out much. DOES IT WORK How well it works is subjective. I understand that the typical person reading this is more likely to be a gamer and I’m not one, my entire evaluation is based on how well it works for photo editing. As mentioned it feels good in the hand, neither too small nor too large. The shape of the lip on the left side gives it a good sense of control and the shape of the L/R buttons helps reduce one of the most common issues of accidentally pressing them. That lip actually serves two purposes, one is to use my thumb to vary the amount of downward pressure on the mouse which can be very helpful in keeping it from skidding when I’m making very tiny moves. The other is that using that same thumb I can lift up on the mouse to reposition it, which is almost impossible with any mouse that’s shaped like a beetle – I have one mouse that falls out of my hand whenever I try to lift it. Being able to change resolutions instantly is a big plus for editing tasks and I find I am doing just that several times while working on a project. While researching pro photographers preferences I also found that the SteelSeries mouse pad SteelSeries QcK Mini Gaming Mouse Pad was one of the top choices so I got one at the same time, and it’s true, a mousepad makes a lot of difference and this one works perfectly for smooth precision tracking and minimizing lag. It’s available in several large sizes, a benefit for graphics work. I can’t think of any downsides yet. I’ll keep my expectations low of it lasting more than a year but if it does I’ll be happy.

Works well, feels great and batteries last for months!

I've had this mouse for about 9 months now and I have to say it's awesome. It's grippy, the buttons are easy to reach and the batteries last a long time. I also have the G700s mouse, which I like. But the G700s' batteries only last a few hours; this one lasts for months. The first Duracell batteries I used lasted about 6 months with the "green" setting (saves battery). I am using rechargeable batteries now and I'm going on 3 months without a charge so far. With the G700s I have to have spare rechargeable batteries and constantly charging and swapping batteries or just run it connected to USB to avoid draining the batteries. I'm not sure why the G700s only has one battery (I suppose due to weight), being as power-hungry as it is. This G602 has two AA batteries. This mouse also has two more side buttons than the G700s, so it's more convenient for gaming. I find the buttons are easy to reach and I don't constantly click the wrong buttons as I did with the 12-button G600 mouse I tried. I do miss the super-fast scroll wheel on the G700s, but this mouse is definitely more convenient. I use it with my laptop and I'm always on the go, so it would be difficult to keep charging batteries throughout the day.

Friends say it is pretty much the best mouse out there

Purposely waited for over a month to see if I could find any fault to the mouse. I really tried, but I couldn't. I am a bit biased towards functionality over aesthetics, but this looks refined and solid on the work desk. Initially I was worried about the weight and size, but the sensor and its responsiveness is spot on. I didn't realize competitive gaming was really possible on a wireless mouse until I started using the G602. Friends say it is pretty much the best mouse out there.. but for the price, there is nothing that can beat this one. Sure, G900 should be better in terms of specs, but this mouse really has everything you need. Save the 100 dollars and use it on something other than the maybe 5-10% improvement in your gaming mouse experience.

Excellent value for a very good working and functional gaming mouse. Slippery grip sides, so plan a "getting used to it" period!

Almost tempted to give this a 4 star review, but this was based on only one issue; slippery plastic sides. They look textured, but they are just slippery textured plastic. When I first used it, I literally could move my hand slightly and the mouse did not move. My fingers just slipped along the plastic. However, after about a week of use, I no longer notice any slippage. Either the material has changed with use or my hand has adjusted its grip size for the mouse; probably the latter. The only problem is it is difficult to reach all 6 with out contorting your grip. There is also a hard/sharp plastic feel to them. That may be for designating where your thumb is located and which button is being pressed, but I found them uncomfortable to even use when I can reach them. Beyond that, DPI change buttons are nice and in a good position. Switch for battery life vs higher pooling rate is nice and works well with a on mouse visual indicator. Software to control and view battery life (though battery life can also be viewed on top display if you leave on the buttons default mapped) works well and is the same as that for their wireless headset that I also happen to have. I assume it works for other things as well. Now that I've gotten used to it, I love not having a cord again. So far, it works very well for gaming and productivity. I do like the up/down buttons for the DPI on the mouse for when you need better control! Overall, I had high expectations based on online reviews. I was was disappointed to see how slippery it was at first. Now, I've unconsciously adjusted it's my main mouse. Probably going to buy a second one for work. At the current price, it's an excellent value.

Mouse is great, but this User did a silly thing - read my full post to avoid my mistake.

Save yourself some embarrassment when you first change batteries. First, take careful note that both AA's go in the same way. I did notice that because I'm used to 2-battery devices requiring the + and - being opposed (between the two); these have both + and one end and both - at the other. Second - and this is the one I did not know - when you replace the batteries and turn on the mouse using the switch on the bottom, do not expect the laser to light up and, when you see it NOT light up, conclude that the mouse is broken. Yes, I did contact Logitech. Yes, they were polite. Yes, I did feel like a twit. So I'm posting this here to save you possible embarrassment. The mouse is GREAT. My son thinks the side buttons are too close to one another (he uses a Celotes C-12), but I like the buttons close. If you do as well, you'll love the buttons and the mouse. All the buttons work fine, reprogramming is easy, and the mouse shape, size and feel are just right for me. Logitech's Customer Service contacted me promptly. Can't ask for better.

Best combo of portability, reliability, and value I've found.

Have had several of these for a few years. Just getting around to reviewing. I do a little fps gaming, but I mainly use them for medical imaging work. They are precise, reliable, reasonably priced, and the replaceable batteries are so much better than any integrated battery in my book. I use Eneloops in them and keep a charged set handy all the time. The software is good, and one of the main things that sets these apart is that the actual programming of the buttons can be stored on the mouse, so you don't need the software installed on the computer you're using once you program the buttons. The software I use can be run in Citrix, so as long as I have my mouse with me, I can use all my button macros from any computer. I bought a more expensive Logitech mouse that was billed as portable (MX Anywhere 2, I believe) but ironically its programming is not stored on the mouse, but rather is dependent on the software installed on the computer. To me that makes it less portable and so I bought another G602 to serve as my road mouse as well. It has held up fairly well, with some expected wear of the glide pads and gunk getting caught up in some of the creases and buttons as the only signs of wear. The newer gaming mice all have integrated batteries so I will probably grab a couple more of these before they disappear.

Truly programmable mouse great for AutoCAD

I thought I'd give a non-gamer's review of this mouse, for any other drafter/designers or AutoCAD power users. I've been searching literally years for a replacement for my old fully programmable wired Logitech multi-button mouse that finally stopped working reliably. The new ones *say* they are programmable, but even the $100 MX Master will not accept a macro of *my* keystrokes plus enter, but halleluia, this one does. It definitely took some research to figure it out, as the instructions are aimed at gamers only, but search for programming a macro and you'll get it. The shape is not as nice as the MX Master, and the buttons aren't as perfectly located, but for true macro programming of keystrokes I use hundreds of times a day, I'll take the trade-off.
