If you thought the mouse itself and the feature-set are impressive then you have yet to see the software. This aspect of any peripheral is usually the area where cutbacks and compromises are made, but not so with Logitech’s offering.

Logitech’s software exhausts every possible avenue and is interactive in these efforts too. On entry, we are met with a view of G602 and there are an assortment of options to tweak and customise.

Each button can be adjusted to whatever command the user desires – so things can be completely swapped up to your own style and all of these settings can be stored to profiles and even specific games can be given a profile so that when you load up a title, your favourite settings can be loaded up too.



DPI from 500-2500 can be selected and the increments move in values of 250. A total of five checkpoints can be set for the DPI sensitivity but this can be reduced to just two if you don’t indulge in such variation between games.

Macros are an area which the Logitech software covers too. These commands can be drag’n’dropped into the software and the settings area allows for advanced tweaking of not just the macro functionality but also other options too such as notifications and firmware update.



Performance

There are certain attributes which work together in presenting a decent gaming mouse, or even a mouse in general and one of the fundamentals is having a uniform base and equal weight. G602 has a nice, even underside and thanks to its wider lower regions it levels out very well. The inclusion of two batteries and just the overall design translates to quite a weighty peripheral. The weight isn’t overbearing or detrimental to usage, it actually ensures the mouse is solid when on its pad.

G602 has a scrolling wheel which feels quite loose and so, the ratchet points are almost barely recognisable. Button placement on our mouse is very good. The section of black buttons are perfectly inline with the thumb and they are ideal if you want to configure macros for specific games. Whilst the silver buttons towards the front are out of reach for the thumb, the index finger can easily reach this area for even more functionality. We especially like the curved shelf for resting the thumb, this prevents the thumb from dragging on the mouse pad.

Extending the functionality of G602, the LED on the top of the mouse is discreet enough to not cause a distraction but helps identify which profile is selected, what mode the mouse is currently in and what the battery levels are. Having access to such features is very helpful, the LED doesn’t stay permanently glowing – it only lights up when initiated.

G602 is extremely comfortable to use for long periods of time due to its ergonomic design and choose of materials used. It is quite a large mouse compared to other options we have in the office such as ROCCAT Savu and SteelSeries Xai, but G602 is designed for medium-large hands anyway.

We found this mouse performs excellent across a broad spectrum of games, regardless of whether they are FPS or MMO. The extension cable for the WiFi receiver ensures the module isn’t far away and as a result there is no latency delay for the mouse to operate. Tracking is an essential characteristic for gaming mice and in this arena, G602 does not struggle, nor does it with glide. Motion is accurate and precise using the exclusive Delta Zero sensor.

So it’s fair to say that G602 is flexible and versatile in its operation. Regardless of what gaming titles you play, this mouse is a top-pick and it changes the way that a gaming device such as a mouse is viewed. For a long time now gamers have avoided this type of product and have chosen to opt for the trusty corded variant instead, but we can see things are about to change.
