CONCLUSION

   Logitech has always been amongst my favorite manufacturers and i really get the why when i use the G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse. Is it the perfect wireless mouse? Certainly not and although Logitech has shown time after time that they have the ability to easily manufacture the best wireless mouse suited for gaming they just haven't done that yet. For example the design of the G602 is quite excellent since not only does it give the consumer a total of 11 buttons but it has a thumb rest and it's upper side is designed ergonomically both for better grip and also for less stress after operating it for long periods of time. The four Polytetrafluoroethylene feet also provide the G602 with very good glide capabilities and although it's a rather large mouse that doesn't seem to be an issue. So basically i think that they pretty much nailed it in terms of design. However the 2500DPI/20G/80IPS delta zero optimized LED sensor although quite fast when used on a laptop can't really be considered as fast when used on a desktop system especially not for serious gaming and not when our two primary desktop systems have large 30 inch and 26 inch monitors attached to them. For casual users/gamers who prefer playing strategy, arcade and MMOs perhaps but for really fast passed games no. And then we have another problem which is the battery system. Now for some reason Logitech decided to use 2 replaceable AA batteries instead of a built-in rechargeable battery pack and although even these two batteries will give you over 250 hours of use in performance mode and over 1400 hours of use in Endurance mode (always according to Logitech) still it's not as convenient (nor does it look equally good on paper) as a rechargeable battery pack.

   Price is a factor that will either please or ruin everything for potential buyers (not all of them of course) so i was curious as to what Logitech would ask for their best wireless gaming mouse to date. Luckily not very much and so currently the G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse retails for USD79.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 79.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Of course since the official release date is September the 13th (4 days from now) you can only pre-order the G602 and with a large amount of pre-orders already in the system it just might take a while for some people to get their very own. Overall Logitech has created one very efficient wireless gaming mouse, it's quite fast and very accurate, has an ergonomic shape, glides very well, has 11 programmable buttons, two different modes that give you up to 250 and 1440 hours of use respectively and it's very balanced in terms of weight. As mentioned however it's far from being the perfect wireless mouse (especially for gaming) and thus it walks away with our Golden Award.
