In our opinion, these two trade-offs are well worth making. In comparison to high-end office mice, like the Performance Mouse MX, the G602 loses the included rechargeable battery back with USB charging, along with the Darkfield Laser technology that allows the MX to work on glass. We preferred using it with both batteries in tow. After all, just because a car doesn’t go 200MPH doesn’t mean it doesn’t drive just fine at highway speeds! Note that in one concession to customization, the G602 can run on one battery or two, giving you an option to make it very light. Our opinion is that for all but the most die-hard gamers, the G602 is plenty fast. A wireless connection is never going to have the same potential as wired connection. The weights likely wouldn’t fit alongside the required batteries and internal wireless hardware, and of course the polling rate is a function of the transmission medium. First, it doesn’t have the ultra-high polling rates of wired gaming mice, like the G402, or the adjustable weights of the G502. To hit what we consider to be a very fair pricepoint, Logitech had to sacrifice a few things that are included in its high-end wired gaming mice and its high-end wireless office mice, respectively. As we’ll discuss below, it really is more than just a gaming mouse, which is what makes it such a unique product in the crowded mousing arena. It has a retail price of $79.99 (although it’s always discounted below that), and directly competes with a number of wired gaming mice in the same price range. The G602 is one of Logitech’s high-end wireless “gaming” mouse, just a notch below its most expensive mousing products. From here on out, if we publish a review, it’s for a product we’d buy ourselves (and in many cases, like this Logitech G602 mouse, we actually have!). ![]() The idea behind this is that we’d much rather take the time to publish a review of a product that we like rather than one that we do not. Rather than post reviews of every product that crosses our desk, as many review sites do, we’ll be highlighting one product a month that we’ve tested extensively and recommend. This is our first product review of 2015, and to ring in the new year, we’re bringing you a new review format. ![]()
