An overview of G602


G602 is specifically designed for right-handed gamers. Its shape follows natural contours both for good comfort and grip. Logitech has engineered this mouse to have a selection of different materials too and having such a design not only looks and feels great but it ensures a firm grip throughout extensive gaming sessions when the palm of the hand can get rather moist. There is smooth plastic on the mouse buttons, soft rubber on the palm and grainy plastic on the sides.

We know G602 focusses primarily on the right-handed gamer because Logitech has given this mouse a shelf for the thumb to rest upon and the bulk of customisable buttons reside on the left side too.

To the left the G602 has two buttons positioned on the outside edge of the left-mouse button, by default these buttons allow the DPI to be adjusted up or down on-the-fly. Further across there are a group of six smaller buttons in easy reach for the thumb. All of these buttons can of course be customised to precisely the designed functions via the supplied software.

Over on the right of G602 there are no significant features aside from a right-mouse button – the grainy material wraps around the lower region to enhance grip during usage.

As is customary to the computer mouse, G602 has a scrolling wheel between both left and right mouse buttons. This wheel is quite loose in its motion, in as much that it doesn’t snap to each individual increment.

Behind this wheel is a mode selector switch, this switch allows you to enter “Performance” or “Endurance”. Performance provides up to 250 hours of play without compromising on performance features and thus is ideal for gaming, whilst Endurance provides up to 1440 hours of use but is much more refined and disables certain features.

Logitech has given G602 an LED indicator for these two presets – when a mode is selected the small panel between the scrolling wheel and the switch illuminates blue for Performance and green for Endurance. This LED panel also serves as the battery level gauge too.

As you can tell, G602 is feature-packed and is certainly an innovative piece of kit. Logitech has carefully and thoughtfully designed this mouse.


Poised and ready for action


On the underside of G602 resides the Delta Zero sensor which Logitech are using for the first time. This sensor is an optical variant and allows up to 2500 DPI – the sensitivity can be adjusted in increments of 250 DPI.

Logitech has also placed the on/off switch directly above the sensor. This allows you to conserve battery power when the mouse is not in use. There are a selection of four Teflon pads located in significant areas at the top, sides and bottom - these pads ensure there is smooth movement when G602 is used.

Below the sensor is a compartment which makes use of a snap on cover. Removing this cover reveals the slot for adding in batteries. G602 requires 2x AA batteries in order to function and we’re really pleased to see Logitech provide a pair of Duracell out of the box. As previously mentioned, G602 can run up to 250 hours in Performance mode or 1440 hours in Endurance mode, so there really is no need to worry about longevity.
