Couldn't have asked for a better mouse

The only things I could have asked for in an upgrade from the g602 were hyper-scroll and a higher dpi-- the new g604 does both of these things. I've been using the g602 for many years, as both a gaming mouse and also a web design and development mouse, with some graphic design. In that time I've learned to move the mouse around with ease, how to lift it up slightly from side to side without moving the cursor, the weight with a single battery installed, perfect aim in fps games, etc. It's muscle memory basically. So trying to switch to another mouse has been problematic as I found with the g603 (which is a great mouse but doesn't feel as natural as the g602/g604). The g604 feels almost exactly the same as the g602, with some very minor improvements, like an angled single battery for better weight distribution, slightly depressed thumb buttons for comfort. The hyper-scroll wheel is a life saver for work related tasks. I had spent many late nights scrolling through long websites and web code for work, wishing for a hyper-scroll wheel on the g602, and the new g604 provides exactly that. I can fly through documents for work without getting arm pain from the middle mouse wheel. The other issue I was starting to run into with the g602 was the lower dpi max was showing it's age on higher resolution monitors. The new g604 fixes that problem with a higher dpi max. Props to Logitech for continuing to ditch the "gamer aesthetic" with the g604 (similar to the g602 and g603). I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen using this mouse in an office or around family since it's not glowing green with the words "PREDATOR" on it or whatever. The g604 is a good, tasteful design that allows it to be a true all-purpose mouse. It would be nice to see more high end hardware companies do this.

Amazing update and almost everything I want and need in a mouse-Update after first week

Update after the first week: Definitely keeps the 5 star rating. -GHub software is not very intuitive, however it does allow for a ton of customization and the added benefit of switching profiles with the click of a button is amazing. It definitely takes a while to figure out, but the base of how it works is very nice, eg.-When switching from BT to Lightspeed connection on different devices(laptop and workstation) it remembers the DPI settings and profile used last with that specific connection so I can switch back and forth between devices with 2 completely different profiles which is absolutely amazing because a lot of the keystrokes and macros I use on my workstation I never use on my laptop and vice versa. Figuring out the software's nuances did take a bit of work though, but definitely worth it and it does improve the mouse's functionality by a huge amount. Honestly, the more you tinker with it the more you will love it. Just got mine 9/23/19 and loving it so far. Upgraded from g602 and I work on computers with systems that are really locked down(can't install any software) so the G series are my only hope for macros, hotkeys, etc. The weight doesn't bother me, I like the placement of the extra buttons on the left click, they're easier to find and press than on the g602. The Bluetooth/lightspeed combo is great for switching between my laptop and workstation(Bluetooth for laptop and lightspeed for workstation-can't use BT on workstation). Literally takes less than a second to switch between devices. A lot of my co-workers use the g903 and it's a nice mouse, but I think the g602 is better, and the g604 is much better than the g602 in my opinion-added the hyperscroll which is great and the left and right middle mouse buttons. Loving it and the G shift option and profiles are amazing additions. The only thing I wish they would add is support for gesture buttons like the MX Master series. I have the OG MX master for use at home and the gesture options are absolutely amazing and increase productivity enormously. Overall loving this mouse and definitely recommend it for anyone that needs a mouse with onboard storage for workstations such as in a hospital(I'm a radiologist so it's an absolute gamechanger for my workday). Great job logitech and this is a worthy successor to the G602.

Fits the bill - great all around

TLDR: Super tactile. Intelligent design with ergonomics. Just the right amount of buttons for most game genres. Slippery metal wheel might take a while to get used to though. My rating: 4.8/5, would mouse again. I play FPSs and MMOs. I've been waiting for this kind of configuration in a mouse. Playing mmos, I used to need the full keypad mice but honestly, half of those buttons go to waste because it's too awkward to locate and press. My steel series mouse was great but i needed just a few more buttons than the two it provided on the side - plus I didn't like having to keep switching mice per game. This one, the G604, is in my eyes almost perfect! You have 6 REALLY tactile and easy to feel/click buttons on the side. They're very intuitive in that you can use the entirety of your thumb to manipulate all 6 without having to retrain yourself much. If you need more you can assign the two on the top left (default for DPI switching) and even reassign the mouse wheel's left and right side click. So far this has proven really good for playing Destiny and FFxiv online. I honestly wonder though why there are no companies putting at least one or two buttons for the right side of the mouse where my ring finger rests. I know it manages the weight and movement, but I can see myself really using a button there, for sure. Even for my pinky maybe. The only thing I am iffy with with this mouse is the steel wheel. It's great for web browsing when you can swishh the wheel, but even when you choose lock/ratchet mode, it feels slick due to the surface. I just got used to my rubber wheel on the other mice - it's not a game breaker for sure. Still works with my weapon swap up/down quick swish technique. Everything is clicky, responsive, and feels good. Wifi or Bluetooth: so far all around smoothness with no discernible hiccups. I actually like the weight of the AA battery inside (lasts for weeks, so i've been told) - as I like my mice on the heavy side. So think about that if you like your mice super light. No RGB gimmicks, which is good. This is straight up performance, and no fancy fluff. I'm fondling it right now, thinking of what else I like about it. Definitely the ergonomics is superior to most. Got those subtle curved nuances to make it easy to lift up, and also slide around the pad. Your thumb has a nice resting place too , so it feels like your hand is really one with the mouse. I really am happy with this one, and i've gone through some top brands. I'll revise my review if I find out any shortcomings, as I'm sure to put this guy to the test in the coming days.

A great update to the G602. Best all around gaming mouse.

I owned the original G602, and currently own two of them. Hands down the best gaming mice I ever owned. So what would take the crown from the G602? How about an update that includes more functions and better hardware? Well, I give you the G604. Probably the best gaming mouse on the market, right now. For those of you wondering why Logitech never saw fit to include the original G602 to their new Logitech G-Hub, it's because they were preparing to launch their new mouse. The G604 now includes Logitech's well regarded Hero sensor. You can set multiple DPI settings all the way up to 16000. The new sensor also allows for efficiency with power up to 240 hours on a single AA battery, or 5.5 months on a bluetooth connection. Yes, you can connect this mouse to a secondary machine by switching to bluetooth. Functionality that no one asked for, but incredibly helpful when you use it. Good thinking, Logitech! It has all the buttons of the original, plus they added left and right mouse wheel buttons. This was the only feature that I really missed from the G602. On my older mice, I used to use the mouse wheel buttons to move through browser tabs. On the G602, I had to assign that function to the two additional mouse buttons next to the left mouse click, which by default is used for DPI settings. Now, I can assign those two secondary buttons to whatever I want. Adding more functionality to any game or program that I'm running. The 6 side thumb buttons return on the G604, but now has a slightly new design. It's arranged with a slight curve. This actually made the buttons easier to reach with my thumb. 15 buttons in total. And you can create multiple profiles for any program or game that you use. With my Tartarus gamepad and the G604, I pretty much never have to use my keyboard for any keybinds. The mouse weight is a little heavier than other "pro" gaming mice that are recently released, but it is lighter than the original G602. This will really be a personal preference, but I like that it's lighter than the original, but not so light that I feel that I have no control over the mouse. There are no weights to add, unfortunately. This is my favorite gaming mouse now. I am retiring my G602 into my gaming mouse hall of fame, which includes my old Microsoft Intellimouse, the Logitech MX518, Logitech G7, and the Logitech G700. Logitech did an amazing job updating their old G602. A great new sensor, more buttons, better software, better battery life. Everything they updated is essentially better than the older model. Something that should be commended. I highly recommend the G604.

The worthy replacement for G700s

I thought I would never be able to replaced my G700s but thankfully I was wrong. G604 was all that I was looking for and more. It has 6 buttons on the side as opposed to 4 on G700s so obviously you have more options. It may takes sometimes to get used to the two keys closest to your palm but I get used to it after awhile. Battery life is great, mouse is very fast and at a good weight. I like the "tactile" scroll wheel. Overall, very satisfied with the mouse. I was very very lucky to not run into any trouble with the software so I can't really complained about it. Though I've heard so many horror stories.

A Definite Update to the G602

I was a former user of the G602 as it was my first gaming mouse I used at the start of my gaming career. I decided to retire it because the mouse was a brick for me when I used it for shooters. I recently jumped into MMORPGS such as Final Fantasy XIV and that game requires a whole lot of keybinds to utilize everything you need for your character. My G Pro Wireless isnt suited for the job because it has so little buttons I can bind to it to make it easier to play. Currently, I'm using the Steelseries Rival 500 as my go to mouse for MMORPG, the button layout is great. The only problem is the 2 buttons next to the Left mouse button are stiff to press and its wired. This is when the G604 comes into play. The new features they added is the sensor, which is no surprise as they used it for all their recent gaming mouse. You wont find that much use for it unless you want 16,000 DPI on your mouse. The second thing they added is the famous infinite scroll wheel which is a welcome to the mouse to navigate through long documents. The shape of the mouse is almost similar to the G602, but the right side of the mouse is much comfortable to hold at. The number buttons on the left side is changed to be more recline with your thumb. The button are in the small side, but you can tell which button your pressing. If there's one thing I would like to change, it will be the scroll wheel as its the same thing as you see in the G502. I would prefer it if it used something similar to the G Pro Wireless to shed couple of grams in weight. It also creates some noise when you use the individual steps that will annoy your fellow co-worker if you do it too much. This mouse is built for MMORPG players as its perfect for titles like WoW Classic and FFXIV as its gaining back in popularity. I'm glad Logitech updated this mouse as the market for them is pretty dry with few choices we can pick from. Not having to deal with the cable from the Rival 500 is a big plus for me as I can move the mouse everywhere in my mouse pad without the restriction of the cable. Definitely a mouse for MMORPG players to grab right now.

This is the *Best* Logitech Gaming Mouse, including any versions of the G502

Pros: - Great looks! Can be a professional mouse, or a gamer's toy. - So many buttons! - AA Battery, easy to swap when needed. - Form fitting to hand. ( have normal palms, shorter-lengthed fingers-but nothing crazy short). Cons: - BIGGEST CON: WASTED BUTTON POTENTIAL! The two "behind" the mouse wheel are not buttons. One is a fast/clicky scroll toggle, the other is a Wasted "bluetooth swapping" button. I don't mind the wheel speed toggle button so much, but the bluetooth button is my bane! I hate it when companies hardcode a button. Let me change the feature if I don't want/need it! Let me do what I want to do! (looking at you too, Samsung Cell Phone "Bixby" button!" - Slightly heavier than normal, due to the AA battery, but not obscene at all. I just noticed it was heavier than my old mouse the first time I used it, now I don't even notice it (forgot it actually till I was trying to think of cons) Nuetrals - G Hub is a bit of a pain, and I hate the notifications (though you learn to screen them out of your vision). But it is good enough and you can do what you want, so its not a con.

Totally worth the purchase

I was hesitant because of the price, even with the discounted purchase I was having buyer's remorse while waiting for the mouse to be delivered. However, coming from a Corsair Dark Core SE, the difference is night and day--from its functionality to the software. Ah, just a heads up, I'll be making many comparisons to the Dark Core SE in this review. I'll save those for the ends of my paragraphs, so skip the final couple sentences in each paragraph if you only want to read about the Logitech G604. Setting everything back to what I was used to didn't take any longer than 5 min., and it is even easier to do so on the Logitech G Hub application; there is no lag and you can fix reprogramming mistakes with a simple drag and drop. Not only can I set up everything I need for applications from Microsoft Office and Outlook, to Adobe Suite, to the few games I play, the mouse has so many buttons and has really helped with both productivity and gaming. Linking applications to profiles also works extremely well--this is coming from Corsair's iCUE where certain applications wouldn't link properly. The one application I use for work wouldn't link with my mouse profile on iCUE, so I had to set it to Discord. Every time I wanted to use that mouse profile, I would have to switch to Discord first before getting back to work. Although unrelated, both making macros and getting into the detailed bits of those macros was easier on Corsair's iCUE, but I'll try to learn and love Logitech G Hub. After spending so much money on this mouse, I really don't have any choice anyway haha The mouse itself feels great, has a nice weight, and is very responsive. A very cookie-cutter sort of praise, but it's so true! One small gripe that I have is regarding the mouse's button placement; the side buttons are too far back, and the left and right mouse buttons are too far forward. Because of this, I sort of have to tilt my hand at an angle to comfortably reach all of the buttons, and this took some getting used to. I also had to change the orientation of my mousepad. Even so, clicking the buttons are so satisfying, especially the one that changes the scroll wheel from fast- to precision-scrolling. The Dark Core SE's scroll wheel did its job, but there were times that it would unintentionally activate and mess up my train of thought while writing, or frustratingly change my weapon in the middle of a fight. Another (also very small and subjective) con is that the scroll wheel sort of shifts about when you move the mouse. Even setting the scroll wheel to precision-mode, you'll feel something moving inside the mouse. If you also have a job where maintaining strict focus on a task is of utmost importance, this may also take some getting used to or changing the way you work--for me, I just don't pick up my mouse anymore. Lastly, there is no pinky-rest, so my pinky brushes around my mousepad whenever I move the mouse around while playing games. Not too big a deal unless work/play on a surface that is more susceptible to light scrapes. I can't go off of much regarding battery life since I'm still on the first battery, but after reading from others' reviews it seems to be quite long-lasting. Plus, it only needs one AA battery, and it's always good to stock up your home with extra batteries anyway. I used the Dark Core SE for so long that its battery degraded to the point where I needed to plug it in at least once every other day to recharge. That's about it! Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you all also enjoy your purchase.

What happens when you combine G602 + G700(s)

tldr; + Same size and shape as the G602. No, seriously measure it. Its the same. + Similar weight to the G602. Its not lighter. Its actually 5g heavier. + Toggleable hyper fast scroll wheel. Adds horizontal scrolling. + 8 G-buttons. No change from G602. Same number different location from G700. + High performance 16k sensor. Up from 2500 G602 sensor. + 1ms (1000hz) wireless. Up from 2ms (500hz) G602. + 1 month battery life; same as G602 with 1 battery in performance mode. + Stealthy all black look resembled G700. More suitable for work environments. + Can store and execute complex macros from on-board memory - Confusing poorly placed single RGB LED acts as DPI, battery, and connection status; but not game lighting. - Less ideal for bigger hands. Shortened right mouse button and shortened thumb rest. - Shortened pinky rest psychologically creates impression of a smaller mouse. - Accents lacks flare of a G602 - Single battery only. G602 optional 2nd battery meant weight was somewhat tunable. - Battery cover on top. Pops off easily in a bag. Not an issue on a desk. - G-Hub doesn't want you using the mouse with on-board memory - All custom key assignments must now be programmed as macros = Details Version = The Logitech G602 was a great mouse but its performance has since lagged behind the times. At the time the G602 was released it wasn't perfect either. Logitech aimed the bar low, making long battery life more of a budget option than a feature. The G602 lacked the hyper fast scroll wheel of the G700s and its high performance sensor. Four years later Logitech released the G603 with a completely different design and most importantly with far fewer buttons. After 6-1/2 years we finally have a successor to both the G602 and G700s; more a spiritual successor to the later. The G604 combines the form of the G602 with the features an updated G700s. The G604 has a near identical shell to the G602 with a few modifications. I measured the shell and its almost exactly the same height, width, and length. There are a few changes (highlighted in photo #2). The buttons no longer protrude from the front of the mouse. While the left button is only a couple millimeters shorted at the center; the right button has been completely shaved off to match with the left. This might be an issue for people with extra long fingers but this was also a bigger issue when used on a cluttered table or desk. The knife like buttons on the G602 would often slip under wires, papers, pens, etc. and cause misclicks. The thumb and pinky rests on each side of the mouse have also been shorted presumably for claw grip gamers. The mouse glides more freely side to side without the additional bulk. While the thumb rest shouldn't affect most users; the millimeter size adjustment to the pinky rest means your pinky rests closer to the mouse creating the impression that its a smaller mouse. However, measurements show the mouse top and finger wells to be of the same size as the G602. Most likely those that prefer the bigger feel of the G602 will naturally adjust to the G604 over time; since there isn't an actual difference in size. The aesthetics of the G604 are largely copied from the G700. The mouse has a metallic scroll wheel and injection molded key legends instead of the painted on label from the G602. Both features of the G700. The mouse's faux metal accents are now gloss black accents. Even the top G button are now renamed + and - for DPI control; although they can still be reassigned to functions other than DPI. Logitech has virtually removed all signs of this being a gamer mouse other than the glossy G logo. The button covers are also lightened to provide greater responsiveness. This can be misinterpreted as poor build quality. However, counter intuitively the opposite is true. This and its subtle looks leads to this mouse looking a whole lot cheaper than its $100 price tag would have you believe. I always wondered why Logitech never made a premium version of the G602. With the release of the G604 it has finally happened. It has the same 16k hero sensor as other Logitech gaming mice and the hyper fast scroll wheel. All while keeping the assortment of buttons from the G602/700. While some of the physical changes are more on the individual touch and feel variety; other changes are bit more questionable. The battery compartment has been moved to the top of the mouse and uses magnets instead of a mechanical latch. In some ways this is a good thing since removal whether accidental or not will no longer create wear and tear on the mechanism. But its also bad in that the mouse is now less portable. Carrying the mouse in a bag will often cause the cover to pop off. However, attempts to intentionally pop the cover off while on a desk proved futile. The cover needs to be pulled up from the bottom which will generally not happen when placed on a flat surface. Based on that, I can safely say it won't come off while gaming-- unless you drop it. The compartment also now holds a single battery, but weights 5g more when compared to a similarly configured G602; its now 140g vs 135g for the G602 with one battery. Those looking to customize the weight will need to do some hacking as the compartment no longer has a 2nd battery slot. The non gaming mode has been eliminated in favor of a bluetooth mode; that was introduced in the G603. Logitech has reduced the status indicators to a single RGB LED. Perhaps because all computer peripherals contain these LEDs now. Perhaps not. But the larger question is why. It doesn't serve as game lighting. The G602 had separate LEDs for DPI and one for wireless and battery status. The G604 eliminates this in favor of an oddly placed (see photo #3) LED and a color coding scheme. Not only is the LED difficult to see with your hand covering it; the color scheme can be hard to decipher. Its not ROYGBIV; in case you're wondering. Recent Logitech gaming mice have not eliminated their lighting options. In fact they've increased the number. Which makes the G604 an oddity. For its retail price of $100 this in a odd choice; and more of a telltale sign of what Logitech held back when they conceived this product. For additional $50 virtually every other mouse including those from Logitech gives you a ridiculous amount more. Everything from weight customization, shell and button modification options, rechargeable batteries, and wireless charging options. Even at $100 competitors bring more to the table. Its difficult to think of $100 as a budget option but apparently Logitech still hasn't completely rid itself of that mindset when it comes to the G600 series. Logitech has been slowly improving G Hub but its still not an entirely intuitive piece of software. For example, Logitech gives you a grab bag of options that can be assigned to buttons. They don't explicitly tell you that you need to drag options from the menu to the mouse in order to assign them. This is a departure from LGS and other non gaming software where the option is available when you select the button. Oddly enough there are still options there but they're mainly for resetting the button to a preset state. Also absent is the ability to add custom commands to a mouse button. Instead you are required to make a macro to perform this task. Making a macro is not as straightforward as assigning a key. Its a flexible and powerful tool but also overly complex for the task. Why can't G Hub automate this task and turn your custom key binding into a macro for you? No idea. The silver lining is macro can run entirely from on-board memory. Its ARM processor is capable of complex macros all from the mouse itself. Which means you can not only do simple key bindings but also timed sequences, repetition, etc. without G Hub. Perhaps that's why G Hub prompts you with warning messages when you attempt to switch to on-board profiles. They also further obfuscate this ability by making it difficult to manage and view profiles that are copied to the mouse. You used to be able to manage on-board memory the same way you would software driven profiles but not any more. Profiles that are copied over can only be viewed as summaries. You basically need to configure and try them out as soft profiles using G Hub before you can copy them over. Overall I would say this mouse is a huge improvement from G602 but also a bump in price. G602 fell to as low as $30 over the years. Even its original $80 pales in comparison to the G604's $20 increase. For this mouse to hit that milestone $100 mark it needs more. Even if that more is accompanied by the an increase in price; it would at least fill a niche in Logitech's high end gaming line up. As it sits now it feels like a $80 mouse.

Do it! If youre considering it.

Finaly!! A perfect mouse for me. Im a tall guy with long fingers and a hige palm. Finding a good size mouse with good specs that feels good in the hand has been a life long challenge. This has 100% been the best mouse by far. And im not saying this as somebody who is coming over from a cheap mouse. I also use a G703, Naga epic chroma, G305, and a Basilisk hyperspeed, and a Steel Series 650. All wireless. (I think mice look cool so i kinda collect them) Anyway, this mouse the second i took it out of the box and in my hand i knew i would love the comfort of it. Accurately tracks better than any mouse i have (its equal to the g703 as they do have the same censors ect) I use high DPI so my hand hardly moves so it crucial each pixal be accounted for. Im also OCD. if i move my hand even fraction of a mm ans the mouse cursor doesnt move, i goes onto the reurn bin (were it will join the Basilisk hyperspeed on the unemployment line) the G604 never misses a a single movement no matter how little or slow my hand moves. Its an mmo mouse sure, but its a great daily driver too. The buttons are well placed when you need them. But they dont feel intrusive when you dont. I recommend this mouse to anybody with larger hands, or even small hands. If you like high DPI and a little weight to the mouse. Your hand will find a new parking spot on the 604. My mouse rankings #1 logitech G604 #2 logitech G703 #3 logitech G305 #4 Naga Epic Chroma (yes its older but still good) #5 Steel Series 650 #6 Basilisk hyperspeed. (Its not bad just not great for high dpi people imo) P.s. im not a "fanboy" of any company. Ill buy who ever gives me the best expedience.
