Anything produced by LG tends to be good quality and functions as you would expect it to.
This is no exception, very comfortable mouse which when gaming is the essential.
Works brilliantly and looks very cool, works great with the LG Hub so easy to adjust sensitivity, lots of programmable button options, slightly disappointed that you cannot change the LED colours to something other than blue, but nonetheless a brilliant produc
Highly recommended. Very responsive and even after hours of using no discomfort.
The mouse button works exactly the same like my 3 years old mouse, gets blocked or doesn’t click , i have to press it a few times, i think this is a refurbished mouse, definitelly not working like new
I do not perceive Logi as a ‘reliable’ product company, but they know where to position their products. So I went with a reasonable priced cable gaming mouse with this.
It feels a bit cheaper than the previous Logi I had and moving it around is a bit more work. Not sure if it is a bit sticky to the pad or not. Also, your palm is a bit further behind, so longer fingers may benefit, but not me.
But for the price, it works well and happy with the results. I am not a worse gamer now with this mouse, so that is good enough.
Only thing I can fault this mouse on is that it would be so much better if the bottom side button was set back a further 4-6mm as is just about usable with the very tip of my thumb. you do get used to it very quickly though .. but would be much more natural set back a few mm. other than that it is prob the best gaming mouse I have ever owend.
I own two G502s for work and home. I wanted a cheap spare “just in case”, so I got a 402 for only 17 during Black Friday.
It’s a decent mouse, it’s got most of the features of its bigger brother (502).
+ Price, it’s much more affordable
+ Same software, works well for me
+ Same good extra buttons on the left side (3 for thumb, 2 near left click) as the 502
+ No grid pattern on the sides (the 502 is a nightmare to clean!)
+ No braided cable. I absolutely hate them as they get twisted and are “stubborn” around corners
– The mouse wheel feels very inferior to the 502. I’m not just talking about the lack of features (free scrolling, side clicks) but the build quality. It feels less fluid, plasticy and clicking the wheel is very loud.
– No surface tuning (not sure how much it matters, tbh)
– One of the feet is not smooth, it’s a bit bumpy. I can’t feel it when using it but it’s a bad mark on QC
It’s also miles lighter than the 502 (without weights). That’s down to a personal preference, so it’s neither a plus or con to me.
Overall it’s a mouse that will work for the vast majority of users, although those accustomed to high build quality could be slightly disappointed.
Bought this at the end of 2019 and have never had a single problem with it so far, for the price point this mouse is at you simply can’t get a better deal than this. I have had problems with the software in the beginning, but in the past year I’ve had no issues and it’s very easy to use / change buttons. The macro feature was a big timesaver for me doing things outside of gaming too which was a big bonus. This mouse is on the heavy side though so if you prefer lighter mouses this might not be for you although I strongly recommend for anyone
I bought this mouse in 2015 to upgrade from a really poor one from, also, logitech, where the scroll wheel was almost broken. I did not know it was so good for large hands but for my 20cm ones it fit perfectly. I ended up bringing this one for work while using a MX Master at home (there is a reason behind this: at home I needed a wireless one because of setup issues and because I also have the computer connected to the tv) and it probably delayed issues with my hands for very long. Unlike most of the gaming and ergo mice out there this one is longer and flatter. The scroll wheel gets dirty, ok, but it still works and I tell you that this little guy fell off the table more than several dozen times.
Moved over from the small mouse that came with the MK270 Logitech combo, wanted to shift from wireless back to wired and get something responsive, well built and ergonomic. This ticks those boxes for me.
It’s on the bigger side, so those with bigger hands will get on quite well with the mouse. My hands aren’t huge but they rest comfortably and I have no issues with adjusting my hand to utilise the side, mappable buttons quickly and efficiently.
It glides across my mouse-pad with ease and is very responsive.
Had an issue with getting the Logi software to retain my ideal DPI info, but resolved that by by toggling the on-board memory config, which allows me to have up to five DPI settings. Great if you’re looking to be more precise in videogames, and needing to toggle to max for browsing and general use.
Only real downside to it for me is that it’s only capable out outputting blue, no extra colour options with this mouse. If you’re not bathing in a rainbow and looking for a rigid colour scheme to go with your setup, just be aware of that.
Other than that, fairly happy with it. Didn’t break the bank on it either as it was reduced by around 40% or so when I nabbed it which is great. Part of me wonders if I should have paid the extra 10 or so for the G502 at the time, but it’s more of a curiosity than a regret, I think the G402 is great either way.
Dependant on job needed to do . In my case I was hacked off with getting cheaper Mice and indeed crap keyboards so went and got A REDRAGON KEYBOARD at same time
.I am 75 and dont do gaming but I type and send a load of e-mails . Thus far this Combo which collectively cost about 100 is working well together being sturdy . Have actually managed to de-tune the swift mouse action to keep in step with my speed .
Would recommend to ALL out there whom are really hacked off in constantly tossing away P-POOr quality kit— the extra paying out her is more than worth i
programming the mouse buttons for some reason seems to require me to have them assigned to a keyboard function key in order for arma3 to recognise the as inputs but I suspect that’s more of an arma thing than the software, love the ability to adjust to 4 different pre-sets of sensitivity including the ability to hotkey dropping to a more or less sensitive one which is handy for aiming at further distances, especially if you have to switch back in a hurry since you just have to release the button, strain relief at the front of the mouse could have graduated better to accommodate gentler curves in the cable but hopefully that won’t cause too much trouble with the cable
The mouse was awkward to use and get used to, especially for “lifting” if you don’t wanna hit the side buttons.
However this was better than the G502 which I had to return.
As for ergonomics, it’s awful. Puts more strain on the wrist because of how awkward it is to lift.
Buttons are decent, I bought this specially for the 2 side buttons near the LMB. I accidentally knock them sometimes but rarely.
Can set them up as a macro, or even auto clicker using the Logitech Software.
Not sure if the mouse sometimes clicks itself or if it’s a windows issue, as it only seems to happen on the desktop when I highlight over a window in the background it brings it to the foreground. So it may just be a Windows feature.
Accuracy is around 95%, it’s pretty good. I’m a YouTuber and I use it for both gaming and graphics design. So it’s pretty precise. It doesn’t feel as accurate as my previous mouse however.
If you are looking for value for money you are looking at the right product as this product is probably the best out there on the market at the moment, obviously personal opinion. Firstly for 39.99 you are getting a mouse with multiple programable buttons, DPI changeability and comfort. If it is not comfortable then why would you have it? Gaming with this mouse has been a dream and not having to worry about the mouse running out of battery like some other mouse’ is great. Being able to change dpi with just your finger is great if you desire to have different DPI settings between different games or when browsing the web. The software that is provided for the mouse is also and edge over other rival mouse’ that you may consider as it is easy to use and other mouse’ simply may not have software compatibility. I know for a fact this mouse is fantastic and has and still will be a great servant for a long time. If your looking for performance and value, you ARE looking at the right place
Software for this is pretty configurable, with loads of options to set it up however you like, even adding macros and recording sequences for individual applications. The configuration can be saved to the mouse itself, so if you plug it into another PC the settings are retained.
The DPI-shift button (the one with the cross-hair) is useful, since it lets you hold the button to temporarily switch to a preset DPI.. like a lower DPI for sniping/fine detail.
It works well on a variety of surfaces, but the only thing I found was on reflective surfaces the Lift Off Distance (LOD) is higher than you might be used to. I ended up using a fabric mouse mat to alleviate this on my gaming PC.
It’s comfortable for my palm-grip style, and the surface texture feels nice & offers enough grip compared to shiny plastic, but isn’t overly rubberised.
Overall, for 35, I’m pretty pleased with it so far. That middle mouse click (that sounds loud, empty/hollow) isn’t great, but for a mouse this price it’s not bad at all. I’ll report back with any issues over the next few years.
Highly recommend. Also – personally this had a nice weight to it, but if you’d like a heavier mouse go for it’s older brother as that allows for adjustability in weight.
Got to say, I’m really impressed with this mouse — it’s the first gaming mouse I’ve owned and I’m blown away. The functionally is superb; clicks are satisfying, the scroll nice and the additional gaming buttons well located. You’ll need to download the separate Logitech application for windows but this really enhances the experience. You’ll be able to change the flashing LED on the mouse; change DPI, setup game profiles etc.
Where this really excels though are the gaming profiles and key mappings; the flexibility is incredible. For Modern Warfare (as an example), we have 2 profiles setup; one for me and the other my brother. Different profiles have different key maps so everyone is happy. Changing between them is easy and managed by the Logitech application — takes around 30 secs to change profiles.
Mouse response and sensitivity is spot on and this is a great wired gaming mouse, would recommend.
I’ve never owned a gaming mouse prior to me writing this review. As someone who doesn’t yet have a gaming rig (albeit a gaming laptop that is slowly withering), this mouse has been fantastic. When I do eventually start to build a PC I will continue to use this mouse or grab a newer one from the G-series.
Clicks are sharp and quick – whether you’re tracking or flicking you will have no problems there. Left click is slightly bigger than right but this doesn’t get in the way.
Mouse wheel snaps nicely when scrolling but doesn’t take too much pressure. You can use the wheel as a third button by pressing it down, which can be customised in the G-suite which is provided.
There are two other programmable buttons on the left of the mouse which sits nicely above the thumb rest – easy access. You won’t accidentally press on them since they overhang the thumb rest.
Three buttons for DPI control: one to increase, one to decrease and one to instantly switch it to a preset DPI, with lights that tell when all of this is happening.
The ‘G’ on the mouse lights up to different intensities, either breathing or static. Not RGB but different shades of blue. Can be turned off altogether.
Overall a brilliant mouse but I can’t really say how well it fares against other gaming mice since this is my first one. Would recommend.
Cons: speed controls in bad location.
Review Content
I got this mouse for my gaming laptop about a month ago after my old one broke. This is a great mouse for moving around as it is very light and durable.
I have played countless hours with the mouse and no change in quality or speed in connections and responses.
My only fault with this mouse is that the DPI settings are just above mouse button 5 which I use a lot and have the tendency to miss-click and hit the DPI settings messing up my whole game.
Review Conclusion
Overall the mouse is a fantastic product with a flaw here and there but is more than capable for any job you task it with as it is responsive.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to game.
its a great mouse there is no denying it but clicking the scroll wheel the noise of the spring can be quite irritating but with headphones on that isn’t a problem I like the button features added on but sometimes in a moment of moving and clicking the mouse in quick succession I find that I hit the scroll speed decelerator.
In comparison to the razor nagar I think it’s called the razor mouse has quieter clicking noises and overall feels like it you can register clicks a lot faster, the Logitech has a deeper reach to register clicks.
The razor mouse lasted almost two years and is finally showing symptoms of retirement. As it keeps disconnecting and freezing, although this could be my computer at fault it is less likely.
So far I’ve had the Logitech mouse for over a month and have experienced no issues, if this review would allow I will come back at the two year mark and tell of my findings
Purchased: 30 November 2016 for 19.99. From seller: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
I’ve owned this mouse for 2 and a half years, and have used it basically every single day I’ve been at home. When I first got it, not long after purchase, within a month or two, I suffered from the dreaded middle click issue, which seemed to be fixed by cleaning the mouse wheel with isopropyl alcohol, the issue comes back occasionally, I think it’s from dust getting
into the gaps around the mouse wheel, which you can’t really prevent unless you have a HEPA filter or something that removes all the dust from your room.
Not sure how the middle click works, I imagine dust stops the push-button switch from correctly being pressed, resulting in no input and the click not registering, that’s just speculation, though if it was faulty in another way, presumably cleaning it wouldn’t fix the issue.
Other than the middle mouse click issue, it’s been the best mouse I’ve ever used. I think I’ve got small/medium hands, this mouse feels more ergonomic and is much more comfortable for me than the corsair sabre for example.
The software for the mouse is also intuitive and I found it easy to use. The mouse has on-board memory for the settings.
Picture is recent.
TLDR – Best mouse I’ve used, has issue with middle click that can be fixed with isopropyl.
I recently returned from the US where I spend half the year and realised I’d forgotten my beloved G502 gaming mouse. Not wanting to buy another as my 502 isn’t that old and I’ll be returning to the US in a few months I opted for the G402.
I’m a big guy, 6.4 and so have had issues with some mice, but the Logitech ones have always felt good in my hand and this one is no different. Buttons have a nice feel and a satisfying click, the mouse moves well and the scroll wheel feels okay.
This mouse doesn’t do anything spectacular but everything it does do, it does okay. And I think that is where this mouse was designed to be. If you’re an occasional gamer and want something a few steps up from what came with your system then I’d say this is a good bye.
It has all of the features you’d expect, programmable button etc. has a nice feel, though that is subjective, moves nicely and is quick and accurate. You’re not going to be playing e-sports with it but for day to day use and some gaming its good. That said, I’ll be happy when I have my G502 back in hand, but for now the G402 does everything I need it too!
As a mouse, it works great – feels nice to hold, has a sleek, futuristic design, is precise in its tracking…etc. However I will say it is the largest mouse, let alone gaming, that I have ever used. This did get some getting used to – so if you’re one with slightly smaller hands, do take this into account when deciding on your purchase. All buttons are nice and clicky (especially the scroll wheel) and have a 20 million click lifetime – so they shouldn’t be conking out any time soon.
The multiple different sensors inside it do make a significant difference compared to a solo-optical mouse. From a gaming perspective, your quick movements feel very precise, and you can rest assured that you will hit your targets with this bad boy. They definitely nailed it for FPS games like CS:GO, Apex Legends, and COD – but will fail to disappoint in any other games you wish to play.
Overall, a mouse that I am yet to fault, and, if you have a budget which suits this pricepoint, I would highly recommend investing in this mouse. Well done Logitech for another exceptional product.
This is the second G402 mouse I’ve bought. I bought one to replace the terrible stock mouse that came with my office PC and I liked it so much that I bought a second one for the house. I’ve always like Logitech for their quality and robust mice and this one is no exception.
I use this mostly for graphic and video editing so I’m looking for something comfortable and configurable. Big hands – no worries – this sits perfectly in hand and all the buttons are easily within reach without reaching or awkward finger gymnastics. And as you would expect every button can be remapped and the DPI fine tuned to the settings of your liking with multiple sets. This comes in really handy when you want to switch between quick video edit navigation to fine Photoshop work. You set the levels you want and then quickly button tap between them. Tracking is accurate and quick, and all of these personalised settings can be stored in the mouse itself. Which is a nice touch.
All this packed into a quality logitech mouse at a very reasonable price point. Winner!
I own this mouse (Logitech G402 Gaming Mouse Hyperion Fury), and the next one up G502. I have to say the G402 is actually a lot more comfortable and the scroll wheel is very good. The G502 does look cooler because you can control the RGB lighting logo but it is not as nice or comfortable to hold and although you can unlock the scroll wheel, it isn’t that useful, and using the scroll wheel locked in the normal mode it does start to hurt your finger after a while. This is why I think the G402 mouse is the best mouse I have ever used. FYI I have used other mice in the past such as the R.A.T. 5 gaming series (which are no longer made). The programmable buttons on both Logitech G402 and G502 work in the same way and are really useful. I assign them to copy / paste and cut for normal everyday work. No need to research into other mice, just buy the G402 (unless you want RGB then you have to buy the G502!).
As I am some one who doesn’t have a great amount of money, I love to look for the best equipment for a limited price.
I am someone who can spend hours on hours just scrolling through double guessing myself, when I eventually come to purchasing the ‘one’ that suits me.
This mouse truly is a beauty, I have used many mice for gaming however none have the perfect weight and design when held in your hand. This mouse is not incredibly light like most gaming mice, it has a heavier feeling in which allows for you to smoothly get those flicks without it getting ‘thrown’ across the mouse pad.
It comes with 5 potential re-programmable buttons (not including the LMB, RMB & MMB), 2 at the front which allow for you to increase and decrease DPI, 2 which are rested just above your thumb allowing for you to use within a quick action and finally one which will sit just at the tip of your thumb, this standardly comes as a ‘sniping mode’, which will turn your DPI down to a reasonable sensitivity for the flicks.
Finally this mouse is ergonomically designed, its built to have a good endurance, and fits extremely well in your hand.
I rated this 4 stars due to it being a week late and also the packaging being damaged upon delivery.
Detailed description: (Scroll down if you want a quick PROS/CONS list)
After buying and reviewing the Logitech g203 mouse, (which I gave 5 stars for comfortability, size and durability), the Logitech G403 comes to a close second for me, but makes great use in other departments that the G203 can’t do.
While the G203 is small in comparison, I found that it was harder to grip having bigger hands, therefore I purchased the G402 as a substitute for gaming as it required me to reposition my hand from a full palm grip to half a palm grip which overtime puts strain on the wrist.
Its size and ergonomic design was makes it easy to fully palm grip the mouse for right handed people and you can easily rest your thumb on the rest.
If you have never tried mice before or are switching from a traditional lighter mouse, then you will notice the clear difference in weight with the Logitech G402 as it is heavier.
While it is also heavier, it includes an older sensor with higher DPI, (this doesn’t mean its bad!), the sensor difference is barely noticeable. The older sensor only means that the mouse is less responsive to movement but the difference is minuscule.
The heavier weight means that it takes more movement of the wrist and hand for the cursor when gliding the mouse in comparison to the g203, however the DPI makes up for it.
While the weight may seem like a disadvantage, it can be beneficial if you prefer control over speed when it comes to gaming. (This is why some mice come with added weights, which isn’t viable in this mouse).
It also features 8 re-programable buttons that are useful for macro shortcuts or by giving you more functionality in games.
The positioning of said buttons are perfect, however you will struggle to reach the two extra buttons at the top if you don’t have the correct hand size.
The difference scroll wheel in comparison to the g203 is not very noticeable, but the G402’s scroll wheel moves more easily, while the G203 requires more effort.
The cord itself is the same as the G203 only the G203ms mouse seems to move easier.
G402 PROS:
– Ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hd for right handed people
– Has a thumb rest
– Heavier mouse if you prefer control over speed
– Clicking (in my opinion) is quieter than the G203
– Features 8 re-programmable buttons beneficial for macros/FPS
– Scroll wheel scrolls smoother than the G203
– Design is pleasing to the eye
– High DPI
– Made from durable, good quality material
G402 CONS:
– Older mouse
– Size of the mouse is more people with bigger hands
– 2 of the buttons located beside the left and right mouse buttons are hard to reach if you have shorter fingers
– Older sensor than newer models
– Heavy mouse meaning that it requires extra arm/wrist movement in order to glide
– Doesn’t feature RGB for all you rainbow lovers out there, you will have to make do with the fixed blue and breathing mode.
Compared to G502, the only things I miss are the wheel switch button & the weights (I like the G502 heavier as it’s slightly inclined and it tends to leave the surface – which I’ll detail below), and maybe the smaller lenght size of G502 was a better fit for my hand – I think G402 feels much better in bigger hands.
Reasons for choosing a Logitech G mouse? I can pre-program all the 3 profiles & buttons through the just-so-easy to use software, colors too. I also enjoy the big number of buttons and the way they are laid on the mouse – easy to access & use, and durable. To add to that, they are one of the few brands who make slightly inclined mice – not the traditional normal / ‘horizontal’ ones, but not an otherwise weirdly looking (and feeling) of a vertical mouse, and this is a great addition to someone with wrist pain, or for someone looking to remove the stress on their joints. The only small CONS to that is that I ended up putting some weights on G502 to counterbalance the lifting on the mouse – but I never felt the need to do so for G402 which is a bit heavier out of the box.
Overall, just like G502, G402 is a great addition for any gamer, depending on their budget and their hand size. I highly advise trying them out both before purchase to see which is a better fit.
I was looking for a replacement for my old, trusty G5 (RIP) and so my quest begun. Like a nugget, I spent some time (probably too much) looking around and comparing these bad boys and eventually managed to test how it fits in my hand in one of the local retailers. It was just right and felt familiar! It isn’t exactly the way G5 was (in a good way) but it’s very close and, I can carry on saving the world (or not, whatever). Cable isn’t too long or too short, it fits fine in my hand (small/medium hand, fingertip grip). I snatched this one on sale for 25 and it was definitely worth it!
A year (and a bit) later and I still love it – it’s my main hunter. The only annoyance is the bloomin’ middle click – it isn’t what it used to be… Apparently it’s a common thing but what can we do, aye? Saying this, the past couple of months it’s been fine – maybe showing it some love helps.
***Check out attached pictures!***
The Good:
#great for all grips
#reminds me of G5 (yay!)
#good ergonomics
#smooth operator
#good lighting
#programmable buttons(comes in handy!)
#cable quality
The Bad:
#mouse wheel click not as responsive as when I first got the mouse
Verdict:
In love. Would buy again.
One of the best plain-and-simple mice out there. Apparently the sensor is one of the best out there for hardcore gaming, but I just like it because it feels comfy and well-constructed, and has useful features and nice aesthetics without trying to do too much at once.
It’s simple, clean and nicely constructed without the over-the-top garishness of many ‘gaming’ mice. The Fits my largish hands nicely and is extremely comfortable. The rubbery plastic feels grippy but not sticky, and the huge teflon pads on the bottom make it nice and smooth to move around. Tracking seems good for me, though I’m sure all the crazy tracking tech is totally wasted; if I could move my hand at 500 inches per second I’d be an Olympic shot putter, not sitting behind a desk.
Stuff I didn’t like: the middle scroll click is perhaps a bit heavy, and it’s a little too easy to change DPI by mistake (though these can be assigned to something else with the Logitech software). The sniper button is too far forwards for the way I grip the mouse, though I can see how it’d be the perfect spot for some people. Nothing serious, and it’s good quality.
I got this cheap on a lightning deal, I feel like the regular price is a tougher sell simply because there’s so many decent alternatives, but it’s a very solid mouse all the same.
The issue i have is this mouse feels pretty much the same (g502), now I don’t use this one for gaming like i do my 502 but I use it fairly constantly at work (software engineer, use computers everyday all day) the mouse offers almost everything I love about my 502 again but for a lower price suits my grip fine (I mainly use a palm grip but occasionally shift to claw when things get intense 😛 ) offers the same amount of buttons with the same great software configuration as well as the ability to configure once save to memory (on the mouse) and use on other machines without the utilities although some special features require software utility to be present).
So this why would you ever get the g502? the simple answer is two good reasons weight configuration if you want it (I dont use that feature) and the scroll wheel, now dont get me wrong the scroll wheel is fine its great in fact compared to mice by other companies, but when compared with the scroll wheel on the 502 its lacking its not as fluid it doesnt have sideway scroll and it doesnt have the free scroll that the 502 does, so if the scroll wheel is not super important to you (or youve never experienced the 502s scroll wheel you will be super happy with this mouse).
Too Long; Didn’t Read at the bottom.
The Logitech G402 is a great mouse. It comes with 8 programmable buttons although take note that figure includes Mouse 1 and Mouse 2 and the Scroll which, most likely, you aren’t going to change the function of. Nonetheless it still has a lot of extra buttons to use for whatever you want. The mouse is feels relatively light and the feet are good so there are no problems moving it around the mousepad. The mouse clicking buttons (M1 and M2) feel great and are advertised to have a durability of 20 million clicks which should be sufficient for a long time. The scroll wheel isn’t great but it is still more than useable for gaming. I don’t think this should deter you from buying the product but is worth knowing about. The extra button placement is ok but not great.
There are two extra buttons to the left of the mouse 1 button which by default are used to change between dpi settings. means you can easily press them with your pointer finger but I found I occasionally accidentally pressed them and this led me to die in games a couple times before i gave up and unbounded them. There is also a “sniper” button which when you pressed would lower your dpi to make precision movements easier. I think this is more of a gimmick than anything else and it had a very forward placement that made it hard to press the button in the first place but you can bind the button to do anything else you want to so it doesn’t matter if you don’t like the sniper mode.
There are also two other buttons on the side of the mouse that are by default used for back and forward for browsing web pages. Not much to say about these buttons. Easy to press because of the location and they feel great but a tiny bit mushy and they are also fully customisable.
Now for the best bit about the mouse and probably the number one reason to buy the mouse, the sensor. Logitech have made sure there is no acceleration or smoothing and the tracking feels amazing. Also the inclusion of the Fusion Engine means that you can move the mouse extremely fast and still have it track your movements properly and it is definitely useful and can also be toggled on and off but I can’t think of any reason to turn it off.
If you do want acceleration Logitech provides the option for it in its software which you can download off the internet on their website. You can choose to save the mouse settings on the mouse’s onboard memory or on the computer. This means if you go to a LAN party or upgrade your computer the mouse will keep its settings which is a nice touch. The software is intuitive and more than useable and I haven’t encountered any errors or bugs.
The software that you can use for the mouse includes different customisation options like 3 different presets for dpi. The mouse has a resolution of 240-4000 and can go up in increments of 80 which seems like a strange number and means it may not be as accurate as you want it to be if you are switching from another mouse. You can switch the dpi on the fly which is quite useful for some people but I just keep it on one dpi setting as I found that I accidentally pressed the dpi modifiers sometimes which could be frustrating. On the side of the mouse is a dpi light which can have up to 3 lights lit up which shows which setting of dpi you are on.
You can also change the lighting on the singular Logitech G logo (although it will can only be blue) and make it breath or just keep it static or turn it off.
The mouse is ergonomic but the right side of the mouse where my ring finger and pinky go feels a little cramped and I have a medium sized hand so it may be a problem for people with large hands but it should still be useable.
Overall the mouse is definitely worth its price on sale but at full price it may need a little thought. Other good options at a slightly higher price point is the G502 which has RGB lighting and more buttons and customisable weighting and a better scroll wheel with “infinite scroll”
TL;DR The Logitech G402 is definitely worth the price on sale with its amazing sensor and fusion engine. It has good ergonomics for medium sized hands and the software is great to use with full mouse customisability. If you are looking to upgrade from a cheap mouse then this will serve you well for a long time.
This mouse was decent…
(I would have wrote more but this **** laptop deleted my whole review ,why is the track pad so damn sensitive and big!!!! :/) since I am too lazy to rewrite it again I’m going to make a summary:
==Ergonomics==
Nice and comfortable, good comfort grooves with well placed forward and back buttons. In my opinion the DPI switches are also well placed (but please note that my hands are quite small and people tend to dislike its placement) and due to my hybrid fingertip and palm the shape of the mouse in general is just perfect for me
==Sensor==
Very nice sensor, no acceleration or input lag (from what I can tell) and low lift off distance (can be good or bad depending or your preferences). But there is one serious problem which I have encountered; if you drop the mouse or slam it down hardly sometimes the mouse buttons (left and right click) may activate. It isn’t too bad but can potentially be a serious problem for those who lift their mouse a lot.
==Buttons==
The left and right buttons uses OMRON switches rated for 20 million clicks. They are nice and light and gives you a slight tactile feedback (enough for you to notice). Some people would say that the forward, back and dpi buttons are too mushy and feel not as resistant. But in my opinion, I did not find it half as bad as some people would state it to be
==Lighting==
Of course no RGB…
This mouse has good clear blue LED which fits very well with my black and blue set up. The dpi indicator is clear and the logo is alright (but please bear in mind that I do not care too much on lighting).
==Software==
The software is nice and easy to navigate (one of the best software I know). I do not macro my buttons so I cannot voice my opinion on that but from what I have gathered the macro functionality for the Logitech software is actually pretty good.
==Overall==
Decent mouse, comfortable ergonomics, decent sensor and pretty good software…
Overall I’ll give it a 4.5/5.
Shape is weird, takes time getting used to but i’ve gotten used to it, im running 400dpi windows sens at max and like low 3 sens in cs go or something. Its so damn accurate. The thumb button is weird to get to, the dpi selection is nice because i like high dpi for twitchy flying in battlefield. I used the weird to get to thumb button for Alt+F4 bind originally sniper function but pretty pointless to me as i couldn’t reach it and now i can rage quit games so quickly. Its great :D.
Mouse wheel is not the fancy infinate scroll wheel however for a good 6 months of cs go and using it as jump on mouse wheel down (bhops in casual m8) it still works a hell of a lot better than i thought it would, sure feels a bit mushy but its not real bad mushy like your skipping or going to much with it. I thought it would be dead and destroyed by now but nope..
Honestly the main issues and one gripe i have is
Leds are fading and now don’t look as blue they’ve gone sorta cyan to green :S (how does that happen)
Its not RGB
Mouse feet after a good couples years of daily heavy gaming kinda unstuck and got scuffed up. I diy them back to the mouse pad, some scissors and glue involved not perfect but on the new mouse pad you can’t tell the feet have been repaired lol.
Scroll wheel is not the infinite scroll and feels a bit mushy (but its not like broken cheap mushy its hard to explain its durable i tell you that)
Yeah this mouse is good. Software is bliss, once you install set up your mouse, no need for software you just save it on the mouse.
Dpi selection is nice.
Worth Every Penny mouse is so good, i dont find the software makes a difference maybe because i dont fap it fast enough (you can measure inches per second in the software tells me apperently im a consistant fapper it seems lmao). But yeah this mouse has 0 weirdness to it other than the shape. It does feel plasticy but not cheap. Hands down recommend. I’m fussy about mice, shape, how it looks etc i dont like cheap rubbish mice i also don’t like overpriced mice like the razer ones. This you will love IF you take the time to get used to the shape. I hold it like as if i was a crab or something with the pinchy fingers. Well that is what it reminds me of. After you get used to the shape, you don’t like other mice.. Well i dont anyway its so nice
This is my first ‘proper’ gaming mouse purchase, so by no means am I an expert on mouse acceleration or the difference between optical sensors.
But even through my ignorance, I can tell that this mouse is a step up.
Before this purchase, I had been using a ‘Gigabyte GM-M6800 Dual Lens Gaming Mouse’, that I purchased on Amazon UK, for under 10. (Gigabyte GM-M6800 image from Amazon UK. Click image for link). I purchased the Gigabyte mouse as a replacement for a standard ‘non-gaming’ optical mouse, you would typically find in a classroom computer. That mouse met its end during a CS:GO rage induced smashing. I quickly went online and purchased the Gigabyte mouse, as it was super cheap, looked comfortable and had several DPI levels.
This mouse served me well. Although it took a little getting used to, it was quite comfortable to use and (compared to my random optical mouse) it represented next-level gaming! It was a little wider than I had anticipated, and the button clicks were a little stiff for my liking. The mouse had a high DPI setting (1600) and I felt like it improved my gaming. However, when I saw the Cyber Monday Week sale for the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury, I couldn’t resist retiring my old mouse, in order to give it a go!
I have only heard good things about the G402 and after reading some more good reviews to support anticipated purchase, I was sold.
After unboxing it and testing it out, I can’t believe what I was missing out on. I am using the mouse with my Razer Sphex gaming mouse mat, and it is great. The mouse smoothly glides over the mouse mat, much better than any mouse I have used before.
It is also amazingly comfortable! There was no ‘break-in’ period, in order to get used to it. It felt like it fit my hand perfectly. It is thinner than the Gigabyte mouse and the gliding, weight of it felt perfect. Ergonomically, the only issue I had with the mouse itself was the position of the “shift DPI” button. As I use a palm grip on the mouse, my thumb doesn’t reach the button. I wish it was further back, in order for me to easily access during a game of CS:GO, however, as I never tend to change DPI while sniping, it isn’t too much of an issue.
Aestethically, I love the way the mouse looks. I love the blue glowing G logo, and the DPI level LEDs. Through the Logitech Gaming Software, I set the logo to breathing, and the DPI level LEDs as always on. The combination of matte-black and glossy black plastic material and angles makes it a very attractive mouse!
The mouse glides perfectly, the Logitech Gaming Software is pretty simple, the weight is perfect (for me), the buttons are clicky and fast, the DPI levels are customizable and it is a very attractive mouse. I only wish the ‘shift DPI’ button was moved back slightly, and that the mouse was wireless (I realize there are wireless Logitech G-series mice that I could have bought. I just hate cables all over my desk).
This is a definite must-buy in my book! Definitely a great gaming mouse!
This is such a great mouse i am really loving it! I use the mouse mostly to play dota 2 and the responsiveness of the mouse is just great.
The build quality of the mouse does seem like it can take that high of a fall as it feels like it is hallow inside but that’s probably just because its a light weight mouse.
All the functions of the mouse works perfectly and you can easily adjust the mouses dpi and all its 5 programmable buttons with the system that logitech provides you with.
I would highly recommend this mouse if you are looking for a lightweight and great looking mouse but if you are looking for a heavier mouse i would recommend the g502 version which has adjustable weights.
The reason im only giving it a 4 star rating is because i wish that the dpi was a bit higher like maybe 4000 but other than that it is a great looking mouse nice to hold. and the grip i use is palm since it is quiet a big mouse so overall a 4 star rating mouse for the price.
Great mouse. It’s affordable and looks amazing, the sensor is accurate too. There are your 3 regular buttons (R+L click and mouse wheel click) plus 7 extra buttons so you can assign many different functions.
I’ve used this mouse for more than 5 months now and can honestly say its a great mouse.
Functionality (Gaming) – I play mostly LoL and some FPS games. The 7 extra buttons are really convenient. They’re all reachable and spaced out well so that you don’t accidentally click them. When playing LoL, I bind my item slots to the mouse button and the mastery emote.
The sensor is accurate which is great for FPS games or any game that requires accuracy.
Functionality (Casual) – For casual uses, the extra buttons are great. I use google play music a lot so I bind those buttons to control music playback and navigate the browser..
I’m a student so I type a lot of word documents. I bind the extra mouse buttons to embolden text, italicise text, etc.
Build quality – The mouse doesn’t feel cheap. The plastics used are high quality and thick. The weight of the mouse isn’t heavy nor light. The thumb and finger areas of the mouse (excluding the r+l click buttons) are a soft touch plastic whilst the palm area is matte plastic. There is a nice glossy plastic accent which really makes the mouse looks nice.
The sensor doesn’t feel as accurate as the g502, deathadder chroma or zowie EC1-A. It’s still good enough for high level FPS play but if you have owned any of these mice previously you’ll maybe feel slightly disappointed. The fusion engine doesn’t work well at all in my opinion, it feels wildly inaccurate while playing FPS.
My preferences while using it:
Use automatic game detection (Not the onboard memory option). This allows you to disable mouse acceleration in the logitech software.
Persistant gaming profile: stops your mouse changing keybinds on every application
Disable the fusion engine!! This basically is mouse acceleration when you are accelerating beyond the limitation of the sensor. It feels very inaccurate in FPS.
Use 500Hz polling rate. At 1000Hz polling rate I feel some inaccuracies while playing, it’s like the cursor shakes very mildly and fast movements feel inaccurate. My motherboard does support 1000Hz, and I’ve used programs to try troubleshoot this. Maybe it’s a problem with my specific device.
I use 400 DPI.
Pros:
– Comfortable to use (I have fairly big hands and use a palm grip)
– Very accurate
– Lots of extra buttons – by default they are set up in a way that is optimised for FPS games, but they can easily be rebound to other functions using the software
– Great software – Very user-friendly, and you can set up different button profiles for specific games/applications, as well as adjust the DPI settings and lighting
– Internal memory – You can store your settings so that they can be used on other computers that don’t have the software installed (although the automatic game detection function won’t work without it)
– Feels well built
– Nice looking design (not too over-the-top)
– Excellent value for money (I paid 29.99 for mine)
Cons:
– At first, my little finger was quite uncomfortable while using the mouse, but after a couple of days I’ve had no problems
– Middle click button is quite loud
I upgraded from my current Logitech MX518 which has served me well for the last 3 years as I fancied a change.
Why did I choose this mouse?
– The G402 had a reputation for being one of the best, most responsive mice available… At a price of 39 you simply can’t get better value for money.
– 1000Mhz Polling – Arguably more marketing gobble than anything that makes a true difference but changing the settings from 125 – 500 – 1000 you can certainly feel the mouse moving smoother.
– I wanted something that looked ‘cool’ (showing my age?!) but not over the top. The subtle blue LED looks brilliant and you can change between on and a ‘breathing’ appearance (blinks) where you can change the speed at which it does.
– I wanted a mouse with ‘on the fly’ DPI controls and with a few extra buttons with customization options.
Pros:
– Feels great in the hand
– Looks brilliant with the blue lighting which is adjustable. Subtle, smart but not over the top.
– A ‘shift’ button on the left side of the mouse which you can activate with your thumb which is effectively a ‘sniper’ button. Whilst holding this button with your thumb you change the DPI to whatever you preset it to be until you release the button. Very handy if gaming and you zoom in with a sniper rifle and want to lower the sensitivity for better aiming. Alternatively it comes in handy when using Photoshop and trying to draw around images for example.
Cons:
– Grooved feel on the right side of the mouse where your little finger goes. I am new to the mouse so it feels a little odd / irritating at the moment but I am sure I will get used to it.
– No weight system (But do you need one?)
– No driver CD with the mouse. Instead you get a small piece of paper with directions to the website where you download drivers / software. Probably not a bad point really… Who ever uses the original Driver CD after you re-install windows only to have to upgrade all the software to the latest versions anyway?!
Overall:
Frankly its the best mouse I have had. Setting it up was fast and easy and its something I would recommend to anybody after a medium priced gaming mouse. definitely a 10/10.
It’s an incredibly good mouse and is easily the best mouse available in this price range (30 as of writing this review 02/12/2017).
The sensor is fairly accurate and I haven’t found reason to question it yet, and compared to the notably more expensive G502 and G403, there isn’t much difference in sensory accuracy between the three.
The addition of 5 extra buttons makes games with a lot of actions easier to play, in the sense that games where you have to press the M key, or P key or I key…Generally keys furthest away from your thumb or fingers if you’re a right handed mouse user. Adding those key functions (Usually something like M for Map, or I for Inventory) and then dedicating them to one of the thumb buttons on the mouse means you have to stretch your left hand less to reach key functions. And it’s just objectively better. Especially in a faster paced game like say PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds, where more quickly being able to adjust your scope zero distance, or using the extra mouse buttons as a hotkey for the map, and grenade and healing items specifically. Makes for quicker actions and more concentration on the gameplay at hand, instead of having to remember the 10 possible buttons for it that are out of your thumb reach, or going in to your inventory to manually apply items like that.
Personally I have rather large hands I’d say, but whether I’m using palm or claw grip I find that the G402 fits my hand perfectly, and I’d say it is generally better for those with hands on the bigger side.
In general usage, such as browsing, video editing, or searching along a video timeline when streaming, etc. I’ve never had a problem.
All I can say is for the price, performance and usability, I can’t fault it. No fancy gimmicks like RGB, no braided cables. A nice balance of features, ergonomic shape and weight really have proven me useful over the years and they really have allowed me to get better at games over time.
Overall. I can’t really find a way to fault the G402 at all.
I’ve been using the G402 for a couple of weeks now, and I’m quite happy with it. I don’t game as much as I used to, so I am admittedly using it more for work and desktop tasks – but it seems to do reasonable job with both. My previous mouse was the Logitech G9X, which I mostly got on with – after several years of service the tracking seems to be off somehow, hence the replacement.
The G402 is larger than the G9X, which is a plus for me. I have long fingers, and I’m more comfortable than I was with the G9X. It isn’t the heaviest mouse I’ve used – my old Razer Copperhead was slightly heavier I think – but it has a decent enough weight. It has at least a couple of buttons I don’t really need, but they mostly don’t cause problems. I don’t find myself accidentally hitting the typical side buttons, and the “scoop” thumb-rest has a nice amount of room and perfect positioning for my thumb. The two DPI adjustment buttons eat into the surface of the main left button, but my finger is nicely clear of them. I’m unsure if Logitech were the first to use this position for buttons, but I like it.
The scroll wheel is smooth, but has the “notches” that I’m used to from the G9X. They provide a guide when using the wheel for actions such as switching weapons in games, which is handy – but they don’t really interfere with smooth tasks such as scrolling documents, at least for me. The scrolling action of the wheel is pretty smooth overall, but you just have that feedback from the notches underneath. Pressing the middle mouse button however, isn’t the nicest experience – it makes what is probably the loudest noise I’ve ever heard from a mouse switch, a somewhat nasty “clunk-clonk” as it’s pressed and released. You might expect to hear such a noise from a plastic toy, but it was a shock when I first pressed it. It’s quite out of character with the clean, reliable-sounding micro-switches of the other buttons – and I wonder why Logitech chose such a heavy-duty switch. The G9X had a similar sound and feel, but the G402 really exaggerates things. I can put up with it, as I don’t need to be using that button all the time.
I don’t have much to say about the mouse tracking – it’s as precise and smooth as you’d expect, and you have plenty of range in the DPI settings to get your perfect setup. The mouse glides nicely on my old Razer mat, and is comfortable to use overall.
As for the comments about a cheap feel – if I’m honest, Logitech mice have often had a relatively cheap feel for me – compared to maybe Razer. This is often down to weight alone, unless parts of the mouse feel loose. The G402, for me, is towards the better end of this scale – it feels quite solid, and has ample weight for my liking. It may well be that more active gamers prefer more weight, which is fair enough. I’ve owned both Logitech and Razer over the years, and Logitech are just ahead when it comes to actual life of the product. Again, it’s a tough comparison because I could have been unlucky with the Razer mice – but my Logitech kit has definitely managed to outlive the more expensive competition so far. Whether it feels like a product that should be doing that is arguable, but also isn’t my highest priority.
+ It’s a gaming mouse, meaning it’s responsive
+ Good size
+ Good build quality, yet not heavy
+ Good software
– Tight grips could result in accidental clicking of the under-thumb button (not an issue for me personally)
– Those set on using index finger for left click and middle finger for right will find the frontal left-shoulder buttons awkward to use while trying to maintain position (is an issue for me). Those that use 3 fingers across the top of the mouse *should* be okay I would think.. needless to say they’re not best placed… the rest are usable.
– Not suitable for lefties really
– Loud middle click (not an issue for me personally.
CONCLUSION:
Worth.
FULL:
I had mice which eventually broke – one was a Microsoft which lasted a long time but eventually developed a fault in the left-click, and a cheapo non-brand “gaming” mouse which had pretty cycling lights which was not built well but probably lasted as long as the price tag would suggest. I wanted to get a mouse which last and endure my torture, since I would no doubt be running it into the ground given the amount of gaming I do.
The G402 was at the upper end of what I was willing to pay for a new mouse, and in the end it came down to the choice between this mouse and the G303 I believe it was. I saw that this mouse was a little larger, slightly heavier and had more buttons. I use a ‘fingertip’ grip, which while meaning that I neither completely claw or completely palm the mouse, it does mean I often rest the upper part of my palm on the back of the mouse for comfort, so the increased size was a nice thing. I can say that I definitely notice the difference in terms of responsiveness between this mouse and any mouse I’ve had any depth of experience with, it is definitely built for gaming and will be perfectly adequate for all reasonable gaming needs.
I can see that for those who like having the extra buttons for special functions this mouse may be a little awkward; the thumb button is very easily accessible (if you like to grip mice hard I can foresee it being too accessible potentially!), the ‘forward’ shoulder button is very easy to press, but for me the rest require some kind of hand reposition, even if just minor. The ‘back’ button just requires me to raise my wrist a little so that I can slide my thumb far back enough – that I will get used to alright; the two front buttons to the left of the left-click will be a whole different challenge to get used to. I think that people who are used to having index finger on left click, middle on middle, and ring finger on right click may find these two upper buttons easier to press, but for someone like me who is used to index on left click and middle finger on right click, trying to shift my index finger over to these side-of-left-click buttons to be a bit of a stretch.. just something to bear in mind.
The size of the mouse is great as mentioned, and I can say that it still feels pretty light – I expected it to feel heavier than it does given the size, but it retains a nice and comfortable weight while also feeling like it’ll last.
Comments from other reviews such as ‘middle click loudness’ are somewhat true – the middle click is about 1.5x the volume of clicking left or right, but that doesn’t irritate me at all to be honest. It’s a ‘clack’ kind of sound, but isn’t a tacky sound so I don’t mind it – the scroll itself has pretty nice notching, feels well grooved.
The software for all of the mouse settings is provided through Logitech’s website and was very simple to install, with the link provided in the box the mouse came in, so it was easy to find. Allows easy customisation of the buttons and settings related to lights, which in the case of this mouse is just whether the ‘G’ logo illuminates/pulsates and what brightness it has. Easy to use software, so no problem there.
Overall, about a week in, looking good and I am fairly confident in its longevity as my mouse.
Okay so basically, it took me a while to narrow it down between mice.
I had looked at the Razer naga, the Razer deathadder, and many more.
At first I thought “Hey let’s go for Razer, they seem to be the best choice”
However I was deterred by the reviews on the Deathadder where people said things like “This mouse broke 3 days in”
This worried me, because after all when you’re spending a decent amount of money you want a decent product.
And thus far I’ve had the G402 for near enough a month now, and am impressed.
I have the perfect DPI / Macro set up, and I found the Logitech software to be easy to manage.
The DPI shifting comes in 80’s, and if you don’t want DPI shifting, you can set those buttons as macros too.
As a Minecraft player I’ve used my macros for hot keying / toggling perspective / toggling shift.
This mouse is comfortable / smooth, with a nice mouse pad to accompany it you can get the perfect accuracy on everything.
Note: Mouse drivers did not automatically install, if you have the same issue just look up “Logitech G402 gaming software manual install”
Edit: It has now come to Christmas, and for some reason while I was using this mouse some weird liquid leaked from the scrollwheel (It came from inside, and was pretty sticky) not sure what this means.
Another gripe is that the mouse is quite narrow with the result that I really have nowhere to rest my little finger and so it sort of rests underneath the cutaway part of the mouse, practically on the mouse mat (see pic), which can get really uncomfortable, though I MAY get used to that. It may suggest the mouse is a little narrow for my hand. But see the next comment.
Thirdly, the extra buttons are not very ergonomically placed – it could just be my hand, or my grip style, but if I want to operate the two thumb buttons, then my hand is too far back to also comfortably reach the front left programmable button with my forefinger (this requires quite a stretch to the left, too), and so in-game I often don’t press the button as quickly as I want in a tight situation, or I press it together with the left mouse button by mistake, which again could be “fatal” – think: quick smoke to stop a T-rush ;). So wait, now my hand is too small! But I doubt that, I am a tall guy, I just don’t think they laid out the buttons for immediate access.
Maybe I will get used to all these niggles (well, not the squeaky button) – I can’t be bothered to send the mouse back now, I will give it a fair run now I have it, but I suggest you try one out before you buy, and watch out for the squeak, too.
EDIT: several months later I am using this mouse regularly and have got over most of these concerns. I got used to stretching a bit for the buttons, the position of my little finger is only annoying when I think about it, and I even can’t remember hearing/feeling the “squeak” for a while so maybe that’s something that’s worked itself out with use. So I have added a star, still not perfect, but I now think it’s good value/quality for money. I have one other annoyance and that is when I set custom DPI settings for a game using the Gaming software (shooters like CS:GO require much lower sensitivity settings than in Windows), when I run the game in fullscreen windowed mode (which I find convenient for a number of reasons) the software seems to get confused and put the dpi at the Windows setting rather than the game setting. Tabbing out and back in usually fixes that but can be a pain. It’s more a software thing though, so haven’t counted that against the mouse.
The Logitech G402 ‘Gaming’ Mouse has amazing build quality. After sometime using this mouse I can say that I have nearly no trouble using the mouse. The weight is perfectly fine for me and the size of the mouse is comfortable for my big hands. For me i have always used a ‘claw grip’ on a mouse but that does not mean i could use a palm grip just personal preferences. As a result I would recommend this mouse to any one with big hands.
However since I have used this mouse for a few weeks I can say that I have come across one issue which is very annoying. The left click mouse button sometimes needs to be clicked twice as the first click isn’t computed. This only happens one in a while; for example I am clicking on a shortcut website link im sitting there wondering if the website has a problem but its the fact that my mouses left button click wasnt registered by the computer.
Pros (+): Negatives (-):
– Awesome Build Quality – Unresponsive Left Mouse Button
– Not to bright LED – Awkward DPI selector
– Programmable Macros
– Solid feeling mouse wheel
– Good Ergonomics
– User friendly software
Possible Improvements:
– Possible RGB LEDs in the mouse
– Less Glossy plastic
– Change location of DPI selector (Behind the mouse wheel)

Bought this as a replacement. One of the things I have to consider is the mouse size, as I am a very big human at 6’8 with large spider hands. This mouse somehow fits perfectly. My girlfriend is smaller than average, and the mouse is also quite comfy for her as well, I have no idea how they do it. Tracking is perfect, the mouse is just perfect. I have tried many mice over the years but I would rate this as joint best along with a 2nd gen g5, also by logitech.
Logitech make the best products hands down, but they used to have pretty, shall we say, questionable drivers and software. All that is sorted now, the new program and drivers are spot on. Build quility is exactly as it should be. Nothing fancy, no stupid buttons, nothing cheap, built to last like a tank. My very old g5 is being used by my sister and has been abused for near a decade now, still works fine. Logitech do make very good products. This mouse also has more than the standard buttons and you can remap them to whatever you like. They come as set to change dpi settings, but that can all be changed if you want them as extra buttons. Only the left and right click cannot be changed.
All in all an amazing purchase and you can stick this against any mouse of any price range and it would walk away the champ.
Can’t fault it. After my old G300 gave up (Cable came loose from the mouse resulting in switching off mid-game) I am please to see that there is reinforcement around the cable joining the mouse itself (must of been a common issue?). Size size, weight, fit-to-hand and great build quality (as always with Logitech). Great for general use as well as gaming. I’m not a hardcore gamer but suits my purposes perfectly. Also pleased to announce that the Logitech software now actually works! Only thing I have an issue with within the software is that there is no ‘Generic Button’ assignment, which I miss, since now all the button re-programming options have to have a purpose. For example I used the ‘Generic Button’ as my push-to-talk button for TeamSpeak, knowing that pressing the button would not interfere with Windows or the game itself. Now, that button actually has a purpose within Windows which can cause some headache, I’ve solved it by assigning the ‘Stop’ command to the button,meaning that I cant listen to music since when I want to talk, my music will switch off! But this wont affect everyone so it doesn’t impact my score of the product. Last issue I have is that the mouse doesn’t have a scroll mode changer that the G300 did, that is, a button to switch between free scrolling (much faster) and regular slower scrolling, but I can live with this.
First off, this mouse looks a bit out there, but I don’t mind, I wanted a mouse that works and has low actuation pressure (even the slightest of taps should activate a click) This mouse delivers on that front, Other mice need to you fully or half click the mouse to get any feedback which quite frankly is stupid and defeats the point of a mouse.
Pros:
4000 DPI and no tracking issues whatsoever.
Same liftoff distance as the G300
Even though it’s not ambidextrous you can use it with both hands
Left and right clicks have no delay or resistance.
lots of buttons to add macros to.
can turn all the lights off of the mouse
software is vastly improved compared to the last generation of Logitech devices.
middle mouse button seems to be sturdier than previous generations.
Excellent for all grip types (I fingertip grip this mouse)
Lightweight
Cons:
Rubber coating makes my thumb sweat
A little pricey, but worth it.
People may laugh at the mouse if they see it
cable doesn’t look too sturdy
In conclusion I would say this is the best mouse I’ve used to date. There is simply no contest, Logitech make the most responsive clicking mice in the industry for competitive play.
