Also, a little out of focus is the sliding switch for Performance/Endurance modes. With the left- and right-click buttons and clickable scroll wheel, you can see all eleven buttons in this photo. The silver pair of buttons are G10 and G11, which adjust the DPI settings by default. You can clearly see the six thumb buttons clustered above the thumbrest area. More than anything, though, it shows off the variety of surface treatments on the mouse (signified by the variations of shades of grey/matte black).Īs previously mentioned, the G602 has eleven programmable buttons. You can also see the very discreet “G602” branding. This angle gives a better view of that less grippy midsection of the G602. While this doesn’t enhance grip, it does provide some tactile variety. Most of the middle third of the mouse is treated with a less grippy dark grey plastic. And speaking of grip, the lower sides and rear of the mouse are treated with the same rough surface as we saw on the G602’s right profile in the previous photo. The sculpted flank is a thumbrest, well-shaped and designed to help you grip the mouse. This shot shows the left flank and rear of the G602. The photo also gives an impression of how the mouse’s dorsal surface falls away on its right side this raises the inside of the user’s right hand, angling it for optimum ergonomics and comfort. The right profile shot doesn’t reveal much, although it does show off the G602’s right-click button and the textured lower surface. There are six buttons (labeled G4 through G9) in the thumb position, while two more (G10 and G11) are at the edge of the left click button. Here you can see eight of the G602’s buttons. Its sculpted flanks, asymmetrical profile (this is strictly a right-handed mouse – sorry, lefties), and eleven programmable buttons to push all scream “gaming mouse.” The black and grey metallic color scheme is austere, yet likewise reinforces that impression. This is easily one of the most aggressive-looking mice I’ve ever seen. But before we put it through the proverbial wringer, let’s have a good look at it. I was glad when Logitech offered Techgage a sample of its G602 since I want to see if a wireless gaming mouse could be a viable option for gamers. It’d be a lot like running out of ammo right in the middle of a firefight. Even though I’m not a competitive gamer by any means, I can think of no worse scenario than for your mouse to just conk out on you in the middle of a heated battle. These claims certainly caught my attention, since they addressed my biggest misgiving regarding wireless gear. Well, when Logitech first announced the G602 wireless gaming mouse back in late August, it claimed that its newest wireless wonder could survive up to 250 hours on one pair of AA batteries in its hungry Performance Mode (and up to 1440 hours in Endurance Mode!). Especially for competitive gamers, disconnections, input lag, and, worst, dead batteries are analogous to being caught with one’s trousers bunched around one’s ankles in socially-awkward contexts. Cable clutter is no problem they’d rather have that kind of potential mess than suffer from the traditional problems that afflict wireless gear. Most gamers I know don’t trust wireless gaming peripherals. All the shocked looks, the awkward explanations… Not that I’m speaking from experience, but, well, you know… Choose whether you want click-to-click precision or hyper-fast scrolling.There’s no doubt about it: It’s embarrassing to be caught with your pants down.
