Logitech G602 Review

Conclusion

It’s been considerable time since we last reviewed a Logitech product and many peripherals have passed through our hands since then. In the early days Logitech were a forerunner for gaming peripherals but with so many newcomers to this arena and in an ever competitive market, do they still have what it takes to lead the way?

Wireless gaming mice are few and far between due to the fact that gamers prefer to use corded products for reliability. But we think the G602 is set to change this. Thanks to the high-quality WiFi receiver and extender cable a strong signal is always present and since G602 can operate in two modes for up to 250 hours or up to 1440 hours there is no worry about short gaming sessions.

On the eye, G602 is pleasing. It will coordinate with other devices in and around the desk easily and we found the mixture of materials used not only assisted with superb build quality but it also felt comfortable, even after hours of usage.

The software which links a peripheral to the computer is often the most overlooked aspect of the product but this is not so with Logitech’s offering. We found the software a delight to use, it is intuitive, interactive and extensive. Working hand-in-hand with the G602, the software allows you to modify a plethora of attributes including the DPI, button functionality, profile configuration and macro usage.



In terms of performance, we discovered that G602 is suited to a wide range of different games and is flexible in this area. All aspects which are critical to the gamer such as glide, traction and latency were consistent with the rest of the experience – top-class.

Whilst for a corded mouse the G602’s price point may be deemed quite high, we actually think the cost of £69 GBP / $65 USD is quite reasonable compared to the small selection of wireless gaming mice available and considering the calibre of this mouse.

Logitech’s G602 redefines the Wireless Gaming Mouse experience. Gamers needn’t worry about poor battery life which depletes rapidly, nor do they need to worry about latency issues. G602 offers extensive operating times with pinpoint accuracy and motion. Also on offer is a plethora of customisation and we have no hesitation in giving out our prestigious gold award and creative award for innovation.
