[@anthonylugo6250]

I am so happy that I am right handed

[@MarkAcompanado]

Lol

[@Zambito1]

Anthony lugo I feel like most lefty's are used to right handed mice, at least if they are gamer's they are. I think I've seen one person ever hold a mouse in their left hand.

[@Josh-jp3ft]

Zambito1 if it helps im left handed and have always used a mouse and keyboard right handed i just find it easier and moee comfortable supose it os probably personal preference though

[@bumlebubbi]

Anthony lugo I'm a lefty, and I learned to use a right handed mouse from the start.

[@alexanderarias8519]

as a lefty i gotta tell ya we are basically taught to use everything righty unless its a sport ex. in Martial Arts i use south paw rather than a standard stance.

[@bennymt07]

I just bought this mouse. I'm extremely happy. It's really comfortable and its materials are great if your hand sweats. All the buttons are easily push able and reachable. Overall a great mouse.

[@cameronlmac]

I've played cs:go with this mouse since last summer and I've never had a single problem with it! It is also nearly indestructible, i carry it around a lot and bang it around in my school bag every day and i have dropped it so many times of my desk and it still works! I also rarely turn it off and the battery is still amazing. ***UPDATE*** It is still working and great! xD i might be getting a g900 to replace it anyway though because i have been playing cs a lot more competitively recently. Edit: lmao "play cs competitively" bitch you never got above MG1 😂 Still use the mouse everyday tho, the new 604 is tempting but I guess there's no need to fix what's not broken

[@itsabunchofrandomlettersajdtni]

Same I'm in high-school and I took it to every graphic arts class I ever had and it worked like a charm, not to mention I've played CS:GO for almost three years one of which using this mouse and I too had no problems. If you don't put the USB in the 3.0 slot, which I did like an idiot, you will get really bad latency which was my fault.

[@cam_spamtm6439]

the only thing that i had a problem is when its low on battery and when that happens oh its terrible

[@cam_spamtm6439]

I still have it and it works fine

[@SH-ix8rx]

Having g602 for more than a year. The bottom part of the mouse surface around the center came off from on side and i had to fix it. also the right click of the mouse sometimes doesn't respond. about the accuracy i have to say for wireless mouse in gaming it does a great job.

[@joshprime7729]

[@synigmas]

You're one of the best tech reviews on KZbin and I love you for that man! I remember when I used to watch your videos in the beginning and now I'm so happy you got this far. God bless you!

[@Grey-Troll]

I absolutely love this mouse! The thumb buttons are great for switching weapons in fps games and knowing exactly what weapon you will be holding instead of scrolling past it. It took a little getting used to, but after about a week, I knew I could never go back to a normal 5 button mouse.

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

I have this mouse since around 6 months and I give it 5 stars : - Design : quite sober and very nice. Good thing it's not one of these mouses that borrow heavily from a futuristic batmobile - Autonomy : I never turned it off and the included batteries lasted 2-3 months. Need I say more ? Yes having reloadable AA batteries is advisable instead of using disposable ones but who doesn't have any ? - Ergonomy : very comfortable to handle (use it for a few months and go back to a classic mouse... you see the difference in ergonomics...), the side buttons are very well placed, the mouse doesn't risk slipping from you hand or anything like that. Good, good and good. - Performances : well since I don't see any lag or anything like that, nothing to complain about. - Quality of build : after 6 months it still looks new, no sign of fatigue or damage with time. - Included program : shared with other Logitech hardware so it's very convenient. Alright you can't place mouse clicks in macros you program. Yeah, just to pick a tiny little something, hopefully it will be patched in an update (such as a recent update allowing steps of 50 dpi instead of 500, allowing me to make a near-logarithmic speed from the 5 levels)

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

***** I don't have the 502 so I can't tell... but according to some tests, the differences in ergonomy is that the 602 is for bigger hands than the 502. Which is fine for me but if you hesitate, you should go to a big electronic store and test them, if by luck both are exposed.

[@luisfernando262]

is it still working fine? I've heard some complaints about the mouse breaking in a few months.

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

Luis Garcia for now nothing to complain about, still looks rock-solid just like when I bought it. I can feel no fatigue in the switches.

[@hedjel15]

+scarfacemperor having a great time with my g602, if i would write a review it would be the same as yours, great mouse indeed to those people saying wireless can have laggy or delayed response , u havent tried this. 10/10

[@feint_r5636]

If you're hardcore gaming and you want every single bit of your action to be precisely put into and just overall the ultimate gaming mice out inthe market play then go for the G502 (I'm loving mine, and the free scroll is superbly useful for browsing) as for the G602 it is also great, you really can't differentiate it from the G502 besides than it being wireless. Overall anything that Logitech makes doesn't fail well except for their keyboards honestly but going back to which mice you should choose. I say go for the G502, unless you wanna be free from the wire then go to the G602. No matter what option you choose you'll never regret doing it.

[@jackmcdonald8355]

I love the G602. I have had mine for about 3 years now, dropped it about a bajillion times, and the only thing broken is one of the battery door holder-oner tabby things. that's it.

[@KalderRoel]

Coming back to this video about 4 months after I got my G602. This is long but if you are looking into this mouse give it a read. Absolutely amazing! It does have excellent battery life which I was expecting to be flubbed by Logitech's marketing and though it might be a bit less than advertised, I could not tell you how much because I have only swapped the batteries twice. I am a big FPS player and I would not go to any other mouse that does not have macro buttons. Something different about the macroing at lease to my experience is you dont actually macro in the game. In the software you set what you want the buttons to report as. 1 2 3 4 R and Ctrl for for various gadgets reload and crouching. I didnt have to adjust any in game settings for this which is nice if you let a buddy hop on your PC every once in a while and they dont use the macros. The weight is heavy with 2 batteries installed but I see this as a plus and not a negative, I love the amount of mass that is moving around and if you have a good mousepad the teflon feet make it glide like on ice. Endurance mode cuts the polling rate to 125Hz so that is how you get that long battery life, DO NOT forget to switch this to Performance mode if you get into a game like Battlefield. I have forgotten and the buttons dont always register fast enough and has gotten me killed. Flip the switch though and back no top with zero noticeable lag. Great MMO mouse as well of course. I have been playing the ESO beta and created a different macro profile and since that game doesnt have as large of a toolbar/macro bar, this thing is perfect. I do wish it had some real led lighting capabilities but that is very very minor and will trade for a very good wireless gaming mouse with great battery life.

[@TerraZa-g4x]

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

Here's why this mouse fits ME perfect: #1: no cable to mess up your killshot when it's in the way. #2: perfect for my claw-grip. (My old m65 rgb from corsair was not comfortable at all) #3: my medium hands can reach all the buttons but g10 is just a tiny bit of a stretch. Not using macros anyway tho. #4: thumb-rest is very good. #5 : VERY stable, unlike some mice i could tip to one side or the other depending on feet placement. #6: Never had a single glitch with tracking or clicks due to wireless, and i live in a densely populated area with tons of interferrence. #7: do i need to mention the insane batterylife? The ONLY issue i have, even tho it's not a real issue, is that i would like it to be rechargable with usb in the front, as to not depending on people to produce more battery waste. I KNOW many of you throw AA batteries in the regular trash. SHAME on you.

[@DO0DMISTER]

I've had this mouse for about a year now, and I absolutely love this mouse. I mainly play fps, and the 6 side buttons are perfect to bind abilities to them, as well when I'm not playing a game i have them set up to functionalities like: copy, paste, new tab, next tab, etc. The software it comes with is super easy to use. THE BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING. I literally do go months without switching batteries, and i never turn it off, nor do I have it in endurance mode. I can feel no "lag" between pressing the mouse and seeing it register on screen, It's just a perfect mouse than can compete with wired mice. 10/10, would recommend

Same here. No problems at all! 👍

[@1salacious]

I just got this about two weeks ago. I've been using it eight hours a day and still haven't changed the batteries.The battery indicator still shows full charge. And I expect it'll run a lot longer before changing them. I love the button placements and the feel \ fit. It just feels like a really well made quality product. I've been using it in games and with Sony Vegas for vid editing. I remapped all the keys for Vegas through the Logitech software, and it has really made the editing workflow a lot smoother.

[@aperson4075]

:D

[@tlita93]

I can't even feel the difference between Performance and Endurance mode 500Hz vs 125Hz. I'm using G602 for 5-6 months and I'm using it on 125Hz all the time. I tried 500Hz for some time, but I can't feel the difference no matter how hard I try, even gave it to a friend who is pro fps gamer and hates wireless, and he doesn't notice the difference. For the battery I have to say it's amazing. On 125Hz with that Duracell batteries it lasted me for........About 3-4 months. Yeah, you heard me. Razer Ouroboros that is much more expensive battery is rated at 17 hours or something like that.. Razer is 160€ (most expensive mouse on the market) in my country and this Logitech is 80€. Hope I've been useful.

[@tlita93]

***** Trust me, I was sceptic too.. :) The only thing that might bother you is weight.. But you can still remove one battery and lose some weight, it's noticeable very much.

[@tlita93]

***** Glad to be useful.. :)

[@H31MU7]

If you had any idea how much I wish I got a G602 instead of this Ouroboros... I only got the thing to replace my f**ked up G700!

[@tlita93]

H31MU7 Ouroboros isn't good at all.. Razer is really falling behind lately.. Plus they started to use Chinese key-switches for their "high end" keyboards.

[@_PaperbagGhost]

Filip Pesic cant agree more, i have both mice, the plastic on the ouroboros smoothed out within a month of using it, while my logi still looks almost new after about a year. my only complaint i guess would be feel of button clicks and feel of scroll wheel.

[@nixx1747]

I use this mouse for a month already and I can confirm that it works flawless till now. It`s super comfortable, for FPS and for RPG, the side buttons are easy to use to and overall you have that feeling that you own something very solid and expensive and maaaaan I miss that in the new Razers. I`m still using the original batteries, because I mostly play RPG and I don't use the gaming mode, I use it just for FPS and I must say that there is really a difference in how the mouse handles. There are a few downfalls that I must point, first is the two buttons on the left mouse button (DPI down & up) from time to time, especially in a hard-core FPS game I accidently push one of them but I must say that this happens very, very rear like ones in 2-3 days. The other one is the side buttons I don't know is it the feedback or the buttons but from time to time when I think that I push them I actually didn't. I`m pretty sure that I physically pushing the button but nothing happens, this is occurs more often ... like 5-6 times in a 2-3h game. Overall I`m very, very happy with the mouse, and I can honestly say that this is one of the best mice I`ve ever used definitely top 3 in my personal countdown ... and I have experience with a lot of mice. I think that downfalls are non-essential but still hope Logitech engineers will think of them for the next generation

[@unicorn7337]

I thought I'd weigh in on this Linus - I was strongly considering this mouse after an almost 8 year spell of flawless high sensitivity FPS gaming with my Logitech G5. I decided not to go with the 602 in the end because of the 500Hz polling rate and the lack of the freewheel/infinity scroll wheel. I use the mouse for browsing as well, so that's an important feature which my old but trusty G5 never had, so I have instead gone for a G700S which I love so far. Don't get me wrong, I think the G602 is a great looking, well featured mouse, but it strikes me as being a few clicks too far towards being an MMO mouse than an FPS one on the features scale. If it had freewheel scroll and a couple less thumb buttons, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat.

[@ChuckS117]

I've had this for 2 years and it's really been a fantastic mouse. FPS to MMO, it has covered all my needs, highly recommended.

[@Dr4age]

Just bought this mouse. I can say its great and would recommend! Factors that sold it to me are: Plug & Play, dont need and extra software/driver installs. Super ergonomic to hold for extended periods. Middle mouse is firm with a fast down click, especially important for anyone using CAD 3D programs. On the fly adjustable sensitivity levels..

[@michaelpan7510]

My first Wireless Gaming mouse. I have to say I am blown away by the overall quality of the product. While I can't say it's a definitive -win- on Logitech's part but I have to admit it's definitely a interesting move/direction they took with this particular mouse. The trade offs (lower DPI and 500hz poll rate) did not affect me in any way that I have noticed in CS GO. In fact, after only 4 deathmatch warm ups, I was able to place my shots quicker, with more accuracy and confidence (not a light/day difference but I do feel it there). Keep up the good work Logitech.

[@alvodisco]

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Just bought this, lined it up next to my old logitech wireless... piece of junk lol. I mean it just makes the old mouse look pitiful in every way. I got great performance out of the old one though, but no side buttons or any of the other bells and whistles this beast of a mouse has. It just feels great, has a nice heft to it, you can tell it isn't cheaply made. I need to buy a few more of these for them rainy days.

[@ReaLzEdits]

[@ReaLzEdits]

***** xD pretty much

[@Onhil]

like i only use 1200 dpi and i have the g600 that have 8200 dpi i think

[@Zelpyth]

its just happens to be that higher quality laser sensors have higher dpi sensing. you dont have to use it, i dont think the manufacturers really expect you to use it that high anyway. but let say you are gaming in 3 monitors in surround, having higher dpi to go with the increase resolution will help avoiding the long travel time from from 1 side of your monitor setup to the other. another note: personally im on 3200dpi on my mionix naos 3200. im on 23" 1080p 16:9 monitor. personal preference to use higher sensitivity though, i have problem going lower now.

[@ReaLzEdits]

Zelpyth Wow never thought of it helping with surround monitors great input mate :)

[@ralphxess]

using 1500 dpi :D

[@joemann7971]

The G602 looks a lot and has similar features to the G700s. The main advantage I see for the G602 is slightly lower price point and much better battery life. Just about everything else is superior on the G700s. The fact that you can program 5 different profiles on the G700s is really a huge selling point for the G700s. The G700s somes with a rechargeable AA battery, so, I dont think battery life will be an issue for most people as long as they remember to plug it in when they are done using the mouse. This is perfect for those that have mobo's provide power to USB ports even while off, since I think is just about everything motherboard nowadays. The G700s also 1000 Hz and 8200 dpi, so, but it probably wont matter for most people.

[@bukanijamla]

the biggest problem with g700s is the power consumption. 3 hours of wireless usage(full charge) then the mouse have to be wired to use. impractical.

[@joemann7971]

Bukan iJam It's not impractical when you consider that you can change the operation mode of the mouse. I have a G700, and it's almost identical to the G700s, except the G700s has a higher DPI, and different textures on the mouse itself, but it also does 1000 reports/second like the G700s, and unless I have it in gaming mode (which utilizes the 1000 reports/second), battery life lasts quite a long time. Unless there is no way to change the mode like on the G700, that is complete non-sense.

[@bukanijamla]

joemann7971 how long does g700 last when full charge? do you charge the mouse everyday?

[@kaffepulver]

The G602 feels a lot better in the hand and the buttons are waaay more pleasant to click. I went to a local store to compare the two, and the g700s side buttons were awful to press.

[@joemann7971]

Anton Renfors I looked at the G602 and it does look like an amazing mouse. I recently lost my G700 went I moved so I'm in need to get a new mouse. There are some features that the G700s has that this simply doesn't have, though I do love the battery life on this thing. 1) The scroll wheel doesn't spin freely and 2) cannot be used as a wired mouse like the G700/G700s, which is a major killer for me. I think I'll just get the G700s especially since there is less than a $10 difference between the G602 and G700s. I guess it does suck that the battery life on the G700s isn't nearly as long as the G602 but it's rechargeable, unlike the G602, so it's not really much of an issue. I'm not sure how long my G700 lasted it would usually last more than 3 hours. Also, the G700s updates can be toned down to 500 reports per seconds to get better battery life and even lower for casual use and even better battery life. I dont think it will compete with the G602 simply because the G700s only holds 1 battery, and the G602 can hold 2. Those are trade-offs I can deal with. I'd rather deal with 1 rechargeable battery than 2 non-rechargeables and have to deal with charging the batteries separately if I want to use rechargeables.

It is certainly a big step up from the Razer Ouroboros, IMO, and for half the price.

I wanted to get an MX Master but they don't have enough buttons for my gaming tastes.

[@MrWill012]

g700s isnt a bad mouse 13 keys i believe probably get it for $100 aud this time of the year, i picked up a g602 today for $65 aud just got to wait for a sale.

[@MakoRuu]

I've had my G602 for about fifty days and I only just replaced the batteries after 200 hours of Fallout 4, 10 hours of Far Cry 4, and about 30 hours of Elite Dangerous.

[@MakoRuu]

The G406 is garbage compared to the G602.

[@MakoRuu]

I want this because of reasons.

[@Wutangforever31]

i have this mouse, and i love it !

[@noryzc.]

Keif Moonrock Nice stomach lmao

[@venelintontchev9713]

Great review, wish more tech reviews were of the same quality. I loved the pace as well.

[@SirSaladAss2025]

love my G602, bought it on Christmas and have used it ever since. It's very comfortable and all the buttons i have been able to reach during normal gameplay and such, the DPI is perfect at the highest i could not think of any reason to have it higher. unlike other mice i have used in the past, it does not make my hand sweat ever and I am fully comfortable playing CS:GO with it for hours at a time with no cramps. as for over all build quality the matte finish on the thumb rest is impeccable, the rubber finish on the palm rest is amazing and slip resistant, the right and left mouse buttons are great quality and hardly double click, and the scroll wheel oh the scroll wheel, i absolutely adore the scroll wheels smooth finish, it is never uncomfortable when reading long passages and scrolling down while playing games, as an over all rating i give it 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs an overall everything mouse

[@TheCheapo1]

I know this might be a stupid question as it's a gaming mouse, but is it compatible with Mac?

[@TheAwkwardCantaloupe]

TheCheapo1 Of course.

[@nonotewa]

It says its compatible with mac

[@Nosirrbro]

TheCheapo1 Being honest, if you are buying this for gaming you should consider switching to windows. Not trying to start an OS war here, but really the main reason is that its just much, much cheaper. If you aren't buying this for gaming than you should still look into windows, but in such a condition its not nearly as bad using macs. (Again, along as you have a 'reasonable' amount of disposable income)

[@TheCheapo1]

Nosirrbro It's all good, I already have a Mac (got it for my birthday). I do play the occasional game or two on it, but nothing full on. I mainly use it for school.

[@jonasvermassen2747]

TheCheapo1 you can use it the g602 for mac (i am using it on mine).

[@mewimi]

Because it is wireless, that is a deal breaker for me, in that I bought the G502 instead. Sure the extra buttons might seem appealing, but even for an MMO they aren't what you'd classify as a performance booster or time saver. Wireless Gaming Mice are pretty overrated if you are a person spending hours each day at your computer. Replacement batteries just boost the cost of it overtime also. Now if they included a usb detachable cord, I'd be singing a different tune.

[@mariz9330]

I was expecting a detachable USB cord too (as in Asus' Spatha). I personally spend almost half of the day in front of my PC, gaming, and having to recharge/buy batteries again and again is a major deal breaker. That cable gave me hope at first but no, they chose for it to be an 'extension' for the dongle. I mean, how hard could it be to just include a detachable cord?

[@Akires23]

Get some Eneloop rechargeable batteries. Haven't used them but everyone says they're the bee's knees.

[@connorfrazee8272]

Mariz Geraldine Jose The battery life is actually incredible. I didnt change mine for about 3 months (granted i only use my mouse for an average of 2 hours a day) and i only use one battery due to balance and weight preferences

[@awesomises]

mewimi the point for me is, this thing will consume battery slower than its natural discharge. It'll last 1440 hours(in the saving mode), or 4 hours a day, every day for one year(360 days). Even if it runs out, I'm sure I could afford 20 AA batteries for 10 years. Though I would expect free scroll, detachable cord and little bit less programmable button, but hey, it's 1/3 price of other brands, and it's world better quality. Wireless is an importance issue since I plays a game required to move mouse curser with extreme precision, and any external force is an issue (mouse cord are not as flexible as a wool). I'm really looking into a comfortable wireless mouse, meanwhile cheap and long-lasting. I'm sorry in advance, if my word is any offence to you, I didn't mean to, I just would like to show my perspective. I shouldn't be so serious lol

[@mewimi]

Meng Jerry Rechargeable batteries need to be removed, batteries need to be replaced. Extra cost/time lost simply because it does not have a wire and clearly this mouse isn't small enough to be classified as portable so why would it need to be wireless?

[@TheElcentralen]

Damn you Logitech why do you take all of me money!! at first when he opened the battery compartment i got such a huge regret 2 batteries! its to heavy ! but to be enabled to install one and for it to work. why is this not a option on more mouse with dual batteries?! my microsoft sidewinder x8 had lovely wight to it and it to uses 1 battery.

[@TheElcentralen]

***** had the opportunity to test it out alto already ordered one, its really neat you can swap the battery in eny place to get the wight not only lower but in the right place. and the thumb buttons are nice enough almost like the G400 really worried it would be sponge like the G700 horrible thumb buttons and way to heavy. but they did the job good.

[@MrHearthofSIN]

***** i've got it and it is great.. not for gaming because i usually use my steelseries sensei for gaming but for EVERYTHING else i use the logitech :) the double battery is fine for me.. i would rather have the battery life and heavier weight over light and not as long lasting but i mean.. you can use it however you want and that's great ! :)

[@Stone_Toad]

Thought the review was very thorough and you guys covered a lot of areas on the mouse that most reviews skip for example the weight shift option between using just one of the batteries. Also there is a slot available next to the batteries for the wireless adapter for those traveling or occasionally packing up for LAN parties :) I've been a proud MX series owner for 9 years both avid gaming and essential usage, I work daily with Logitech accessories as well as all other top competitors. The g602 is worth penny for penny the value you receive: Very smooth durable, only thing lacking is maybe a docking station when not in use.

[@willrawr95]

i know this is an old video.. but im using this mouse.. was randomly wondering about and found your video.. thanks for the info

[@ashtonwadsworth3481]

whos watching in 2017

[@MathewZ788]

Thank you Linus for creating these unboxing videos.

[@T0phen95]

I was just looking for a good gaming mouse under $80 and I stumbled upon this beauty. I honestly thought someone was high when they priced this at a measly $45 for slightly used. I was amazed, and even more amazed when the brand new price was only $54. I had to look it up, and I found this nifty review (I watch LinusTeckTips all the time, so it was a no brainer for me to watch this little unboxing). I honestly don't see a reason not to buy this mouse. Sure it doesn't have a bunch of lights and bling, but its amazing for its price. It has everything I need and looks like it would feel amazing in my hand. I am definitely giving this mouse a try.

[@TheEverlastingGaming]

Definitely one of my favorite mice to use for CAD software (Solidworks, NX, Creo, etc.) the mouse wheel middle click is very tactile (without too much activation force) and short travel which is perfect for quickly and easily orbiting around parts. Very robust, of course, and just enough buttons for different shortcuts.

[@dilshanmapitigama9883]

It's 2022 and I just bought one, really good mouse, I love it

[@kylecoon522]

i purchased this mouse today and i am in love, with all the programable buttons and my left hand never leaves the keyboard and that makes playing skyrim so much easier!

[@koma7358]

I've been using this mouse for over 6 years now, no issues at all

[@nickneff6926]

lol FACTS.. Im about 3 years literally fucking flawless

[@spiderpig641154]

I have bought this mouse yesterday and I can confidently say that this one is gonna be a winner. It fits in my hand like it was made for it. Price is great, Has enough buttons, its wireless and so far i haven't experienced any lagging even though the dongle is 3 meters away form the mouse.

[@Falnky]

Got a G700 a couple months ago and am still in love with it, the look/weight/ergonomics/features are all perfect for me. This mouse looks extremely sensible though; I really hope the DPI war is over, because the battery life you get on an optical mouse like this is awesome. I really wish the 602 had the G700's free-scrolling wheel though, I didn't expect to like it but now I doubt I could never buy a mouse without one.

[@aapeli4824]

I've had this mouse for three years now and it's still like brand new! amazing mouse and would recommend.

[@epic27]

As someone who uses and loves the G502's shape and ergonomics; I've just ordered a G602 for my gaming laptop, hopefully this does not disappoint.

[@sikplays4477]

Steve Woods how is it

[@alexdejesus1267]

Steve Woods How is it? I'm debating over G502 or G602 as a gamer and everyday use (currently on a Mac)

[@adriant.7457]

Steve, please reply! People, including me, are trying to find out which is better :))

[@Bellz252]

I just picked up a G602 last Sunday. So far, I'm liking it. I sometimes still prefer the feel of my old MX Revolution, but I think that I'll like this one just as much after using it a while. Thanks for the video, Linus!! BTW, I love the stuff you've done so far with Chris Pirillo. You guys should do more video's together.

[@Brevard1986]

I absolutely adore my MX518. It's been with me for so bloody long but I feel that maybe I could go wireless now. So the G602 is looking amazingly tempting. When you spoke about how it felt more like the older model MX mice, I just grinned. I need reviews and to test it myself when it's all said and done. But thank you for the unboxing and overview vid.

[@JumpDog98]

Personally would prefer to see a rechargeable pack inside the mouse that you plugged in every once in a while - although those numbers for battery changes are ridiculously good.

[@pOkizGames]

Hello Linus, I have one G602 and I'd like to upgrade to G900, is it a good deal or the G602 is good enough?

[@dek-lt8nj]

used the same mouse for atleast 6 years. Dogs chewed it at the front but it still works. 11/10 mouse would never use another one

[@ollieg4169]

I have had this mouse for about a month now and the battery has not gone down an inch. I would recommend this mouse to anyone looking for a decent gaming/normal use mouse. It is clean and in no way faulty if you've never had buttons on the side of a mouse before then it will take a little amount of time to get use to. This is overall a great mouse and has not let me down at all so far.

[@Two_Scars]

I bought this mouse Oct 2013 and it has been an amazing mouse. The pads on the bottom wore pretty quick but they can be replaced and I got plenty of battery hours out of it. What killed in the end was one of the batteries leaking. I will be getting another. Highly recommended. Used for gaming and work purposes.

[@OkamiBGT]

Watching this in 2018 after I opened my very own Logitech G602 for Christmas. My first gaming mouse from a recognizable brand and holy crap I love it.

[@dogrzz7082]

hmm weird that they would get you such a old mouse... its very outdated today compared to the likes of the g403, 703, 903, gpw etc

[@OkamiBGT]

Dogrzz well it was on sale for like half off

[@TeaDrivenDev]

Best mouse I've had in 25 years of using PCs. I use it for work and assign application shortcuts to the various buttons. Size and shape fit my slightly smaller hands perfectly, all buttons are comfortable to reach. Battery life is very good at several weeks of 8 to 14 hours of use per day on a single 1900mAh rechargeable battery (I only use one because I prefer the lighter weight) - it's long enough that when I do need to replace the battery, I couldn't tell you how long it's been since the last time. The first one I had did develop some defects towards the end of the warranty: The rubber piece under the palm popped out at one corner, the wheel click started working only intermittently (which apparently is a common issue with the model) and one of the index finger buttons stopped working properly (apparently the spring broke, and it remained depressed when used). Logitech sent me a new one within days of the warranty expiration date, without even asking for the old one back. There's absolutely nothing I dislike or am annoyed at about this mouse as it is, just a few more features I wish that it had: even more buttons (all those Visual Studio/ReSharper shortcuts need to go somewhere....), USB charging via detachable cable and a tilt wheel. (The MX Master has the latter two but has even fewer buttons, so it's ultimately a worse fit for me.)

[@endergamer794]

I love this mouse too but wish logitech would make like a G602+ making it optionally rechargeable (maybe in including rechargeable batteries) and adding bluetooth, optional wired cable and maybe a higher dpi and a faster refresh rate

[@Razor2048]

Wanted to also add, for most gaming mice, when you adjust the DPI, it is not adjusting the sensor resolution, the sensor is still sending it's same data to the processing equipment in the mouse, it is adjusting how the mouse calculates the movement so you do not really gain more accuracy in a technical sense. if dpi was adjusted at the sensor level, then a low dpi would make the mouse non functional on some surfaces. The area the sensor sees is less than 2mm in most cases.

[@kentkatchem]

Wow! I'm SUPER impressed w/the exact detail you know your item your reviewing... wow again.. (subscribed!)

[@dodostarforce]

this mouse is amazingly priced in the UK, it's about £42 which is about $70 but most electrical devices don't scale correctly in currency terms so it's really a lot cheaper. really want to get it.

[@Tiberious_Of_Elona]

I had a performance mx and now im going to get this guy, they are both fantastic and you can tell they used the performance mx design which i love for this mouse. It's perfect.

[@LeagueofBzar]

Very nice mouse. I replaced my broken g300 (had an issue where it wouldn't hold a click and would double click on a single click) and I'm very pleased. It's well made and it's huge! Perfect for someone with big hands like myself. Very comfortable too.

[@ZombieHedgehogMakes]

Just got it, very great mouse coming from the G400s. It is wireless which is amazing, and has a decent button layout for MMO games. The buttons feel good, and the mouse is comfortable when used to it. Taking out one battery would be the best for being lightweight.

[@jamesbk9251]

Thinking of buying this mouse and think it is a great mouse for gaming from what i have seen, great video!

[@tom282f38800]

Bought a G604 recently. Glad to see it's predecessor.

[@foodtogo1]

The year is 2024. I can't imagine using any other mouse.

[@SatansYardsale]

Got mine on sale late 2013 and this thing kicks ass. My one complaint is the for the form and how my hand naturally lays it's a bit difficult to hit the two rear buttons on six button panel. It's not a huge issue but if perhaps the new model could have the buttons lower, more into the thumb cradle. Battery life is insane, I've had over 18 months and I've changed the batteries twice and I'm a every day user. Most times I just leave the mouse on, so I imagine turning it off every time will save you even more battery life. Absolute 9.5 out of 10.

[@cb4j]

Linus. Its me from the future. Checking out this review for this still relevant mouse in 2019. Thanks for the insight.

[@sowsow6677]

I have this mouse, bought it in 2018 for about $40-$60, and I'm shocked that it now goes for over $250

[@BovinaSancta79]

If you can easily go back and forth on web pages with the buttons on the left side this is most likely a mouse for me. It seems really comfortable, and kinda reminds me of really updated version of my old Logitech MX1000 that I love.

[@stevenR7319]

I've had this mouse for a long time and its amazing. battery life is crazy and the dpi adjustment is awesome for in game.

[@jeffler383]

had this mouse for a couple of years...one of the best overall devices I've ever had. suites all my needs well...plugged in my old sidewinder just to see if there was a difference, none that I could tell, I'll be using this until it falls apart, then I'll be ordering another one.

[@dongexpansionpak]

Just ordered one of these things, so exited to try it out!

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Great review. Saw these at Best Buy for $40 and wanted to get a wireless gaming mouse w/o spending a ton of money. I think I'll grab one of these now.

[@Dovacat]

I've had this mouse for 1.5 years and have changed the batteries maybe 4 times. Never had latency or acceleration problems. Dpi is good. Very good mouse, for $60, it's one of the best wireless mouses available

[@geogineer]

Have it- love it. I'm not a gamer, whatsoever. Well, not a noob to solitaire or. minesweeper anyway. I use the 602 in Blender, photoshop, and some cad-cam stuff. Its the best mouse I've ever drawn, animated, or windswept with in my life. Love it!
