The left and right-mouse buttons are slightly contoured for fingers and click nicely in games and I never had any unwanted clicks and no dreaded accidental double clicks. Note the extra pair of feet surrounding the sensor. However I found that the mouse did not glide as well as it should have if it used genuine Teflon mouse feet (like on some Razer mice). After doing this I found the mouse to be very comfortable and I didn’t suffer any wrist fatigue even after a couple of hours playing Overwatch. Initially I found the mouse to feel a little bit too heavy so I removed one of the two AA batteries. My everyday mouse is a 2012 Razer Mamba so I made sure to use the G602 over two weeks to accustom myself to it.
How to customize mouse buttons g602 software#
The software provides macro assignment, DPI level customisation and more options. Something quite cool is that you can store settings on the mouse so you can carry the mouse with you and use it on other computers without losing any of your settings. There is also the usual macro editor and firmware updater. There is also an automatic profile mode where the software detects what program you launch and changes the mouse’s settings according to customised settings. The software allows you to customise where each of the five DPI stages are and if you find five stages are too many you can reduce these too. The G602 utilises Logitech’s ‘Logitech Gaming Software’ where you can also customise settings of other Logitech devices (e.g. The mouse wheel does not squeak either when in use and the 6 side mouse buttons feel good to press but feel a little loose when you are trying to identify which button to press by feel. Note that some care must be taken when transporting the mouse as I found that the pointed corners on the end of the mouse buttons would catch on things (especially the right mouse button as it is extended). The mouse has a nice centre of mass and the plastics do not warp or squeak when using it normally. BUILD QUALITYĭespite the plastic chassis and the relatively low price point for a wireless gaming mouse, the build quality is great. There are also 6 side mouse buttons where can be programmed though 2 of them default to browser back and forward buttons. There are 2 silver buttons to the left of the left-mouse button which change the G602’s DPI and a toggle switch behind the mouse wheel changes between ‘Performance’ (Blue) and ‘Endurance’ (Green) modes – though I suggest only using the ‘Performance’ mode. The USB wireless receiver can be stored in a dedicated slot located in the battery compartment. The ongoing cost of AA batteries can be reduced by using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (which is what I will be doing once the supplied Duracell alkaline batteries have discharged). Note though that unlike other wireless mice (including those from Logitech such as the MX Master, G700s and G900) it cannot be recharged using a USB cable – instead needing its battery replaced when it completely discharges. The mouse uses 2 AA batteries but if the mouse feels too heavy you may remove either of them to lighten the mouse and/or to move the centre of mass. I am thinking that Logitech decided to do this to save costs. Somewhat disappointingly Logitech did not choose to use genuine Teflon mouse feet, instead using polytetrafluoroethylene feet (though they are chemically similar). The left and right-mouse buttons are plastic with a semi-matte finish and the mouse wheel is a rubber coated plastic. The top of the mouse has a ribbed soft rubber coated plastic which helps to reduce sweaty hands. The sides of the mouse are finished in a rough rubber coated plastic that I feel may wear over time and become shiny but I haven’t used it long enough to experience that. The Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse features a plastic chassis with an asymmetric design. Why are the batteries oriented incorrectly in the graphic on the door? ….

The mouse through the preview door in the packaging. This is only really applicable in retail stores however it is nice that Logitech has designed the packaging in this way. Packed neatly into Logitech familiar G-series packaging, there is a ‘preview door’ which allows you to somewhat feel the mouse and decide if it is comfortable for you to use.
