Logitech G - G602

As a many-years MMORPG player (Lineage2, Mu Online, WoW), cRPG fan and owner of G700 and G602 (and now Roccat Kone XP as g700 replacement) i never understood this love for Razer's Naga (which i had for a brief moment) and its children. Four buttons is max which thumb can use effectively (fast and without any thinking about function or its placement). You add more and you loose the benefits because of poor mnemonics and (later) egonomics (cant reach all of them effectively). Its like typing with pointing finger only - you can be fast and quite effective but never as fast and without looking at keyboard as when you use all fingers. So 4 for thumb, 3 for pointing finger (including LMB), 2 for middle (including RMB) and two small are for grip - thats the most reasonable setup for a mouse. If you want more buttons just use keypads with WASD on a stick -> Razer Tartarus, Hori TAC, so you don't have to use 3 fingers for movement (just 1) and can use them on other functions. I own two PZ31a's since 2007, a year ago i bought Hori TAC PS5 and recently i even created my own such device with RP2040 Zero - 1 joystick + 25 keys + 4 buttons as pedals and its more than enough for most of games (even STALKER GAMMA which is most key-demanding game ive played recently). Its still in prototype phase (some changes have to be made) but it already works perfectly. Way better than trying to cramp all keys on a mouse which is a device not designed for that.

Hey! I’ve got extensive nerve damage throughout my left arm and can’t feel anything really below my shoulder (nerve root avulsion). That said, I still game often, and can play most games, get 2 pedals for your feet (I keep mine bound to w and s for most games). With the limited use of my left hand I rest my hand on a like razer game pad thing and can hit a button with my thumb and pointer finger (usually spacebar and e or f depending on the game). Also, I use a Logitech G602(?) mouse that has the mmo buttons, the modifier on your ring finger and you can push the middle mouse button left and right for more key presses. Once you retrain yourself how to play games the new way it’s almost as good as with 2 fully functioning arms, the growing pains at first are the worst though.

Hard to tell when the size reference is a mouse that I don't own, but I think we have roughly comparable hand size (my pinky-thumb span is 11"(\~28cm)). I have been mostly happy with the G604. I still have to use a slight claw grip with it but it's not bad. I also have a G602 but it always felt a bit off to me.

My Logitech MX500 is 21 years old, 12 of which heavy use and 9 years of occasional use. Still all original from factory. Still works fine. Only switch to a Logitech g602 to go wireless, been using for 10 years of moderate use. Had to replace Omron D2F-T switches 5 years ago and may need to again in the next year or so.

The g602 and g604 were the goats imo. But for some reason Logitech discontinued them without a newer revised version. Buy you can still find them on Amazon or eBay

had that g602 for a few years. the only thing i didnt like were the dpi buttons, they were in a terrible spot. i have slender fingers, but id always fat finger m1 and hot them

My favorite wireless mouse is the Logitech g602 and wired is the g600.

It's such a shame Logitech gave up on it, the G602 is so close to my perfect layout and number of buttons personally, and then it's wireless only... :'(

Fellow G604 and G602 enjoyer here. I love my G604, but the switch from the G602's plastic shell to this rubber was a godawful, stupid decision.

Logitech G602. I love the extra buttons and it's not too many buttons like the 9 and 12 ones. I've had it for like 7 years now. I'm dreading it dying because they don't make it anymore

I like my G602. Had it for a few years now, no complaints

og’s know it was all about the G602 way back when 😩

bought like 5 right after the discontinued, can’t live w/o the 602 😩

The G602 was my first mouse and I thank it for my resistance to wanting upgrades all the time. Probably got 1.5k hours out of it in tf2 before the side buttons stopped working. I felt worse on the viper ultimate which replaced it.

The best mouse for any game period that exists is LOGITECH G604 (I wear L gloves). Nothing even comes close, when I started gw2 a long time ago it was the 602, but they made it better with the 604 now. This is also from a top 100 pvp perspective. I also tried G600 it was ok, but over the top, because you would need the tiniest thumb to make good use of it perfectly. Razer buttons for me anyways never had good feedback, and most mouses feel too squishy/not responsive enough.

I didn’t know this was a solution. My G602 and its backup are both double clicking. I miss my thumb shortcuts… I need to look into this

In other words, the Logitech G602. (2 buttons for melee and crouch) Sucks the $40 things are like $250 now. I'm using an EVGA X15. $12.

I moved to a Scimitar after my G600 bit the big one. G602 isn't even in the same league. MMO mice get no love these days. People complain about too many buttons, but they have waaaay more uses than just for MMOs. They're actually really handy to have for most games.

I like my Logitech G602 for the 6 side buttons I use for FPS shooters. Use them for change firing mode, scope zoom, open maps, etc.  They don’t make it anymore and if you find them for sale it’ll be costly.

Nah liking heavier mice is not an unpopular opinion, it's just not as many people wanting to go for heavier mice now which shows in the consumer mouse market. It's the same for monitors where it used to be CRT monitor which phased into TN panels which then phased into IPS panels for preference and now OLEDs. I started with the 229g G602 about 10 years ago to end up with mice under 60g like Pulsar X2v2, Deathadder v3H, and Viper v3 Pro.

1. Logitech G602 (and NOT the popular G502) 2. Corsair Dark Core I have big hands and these are the only two mice I have used that feel normal...ish due to their bigger size and higher "arch." I recommend buying the Logitech used on eBay (or the like) since its MSRP is ~160 USD. I have bought two off eBay for about 30 USD each.

My G602 won't be detected by Logitech's shitty software so I have no way of programming the thumb buttons 😭

as a mmo rpg player, i absolutely love this kind of mouse, still using my og g602 after 10+ year never fail on me, yet i still thinking 6 side button isn't enough for me, wish logitech refresh this g600

Logitech G602 / G604 probably the best mouse ever made and it’s a tragic loss they discontinued them. Has just the right amount of buttons without being too cluttered and tightly spaced.

Whatever the shape of the Logitech G602 is. Mice are tiny now or lack features. The 602 had the perfect high arch, lets a larger hand palm it and has a wonderful thumb and pinky rest. Regardless of what the pros want or companies think they need I don't need it...my good old heavy mouse is where it's at. I want Logitech to know I bought up as-is 602s on eBay and I use them to repair mine and some friends and family. Nothing else like it.

g602 my beloved, no mouse will ever top it

I am using the [Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/mice/corsair-scimitar-elite-wireless-everything-you-need-to-know/). I kind of picked it up on a whim but I like it. The iCue software is another matter entirely though. I use that mouse at home. When I travel for work and take a laptop with me, I bring my Logitech G602 with me from my office.

Logitech hero is my daily driver at home. Brought my G602 into the office, perk is they supply my batteries now. XD

I rock the G602. Best fishing mouse ever.

My G602 do have left click issue so I use one of the side button as a left click.

Logitech G602, I bought 2 of them years ago I wish I had more. I own a Naga Pro V2, the software is garbage. It tough finding a good long term multi button programming mouse these days

It is heavy and I tend to pick up mouse a lot BUT the button design is really great. I still prefer the G602, except those would get a double-click on main button after a few years. Too bad those are discontinued

Rip. I had to replace G602 from logitech for the same reason (lasted me a good few years) . They stopped making that one and the g604 felt like a downgrade. The software to set up the buttons is terribly slow compared to what i remembered and the “auto switch” when it detects a game is trash. I wish it would just let me set my profile and stick to it until i change it again. That being said ive had this one for a few years now and the rubber grip is starting to deteriorate, the rubber also separated from the plastic housing so its kinda just flopping there. Id give it a 7/10.

They all suck but the g602 is what i use/replace every 6 months or so. It's okay

I did this and bought a bunch of replacement feet for my discontinued Logitech G602. I don't want to let go of that mouse. There's not a good replacement.

G602 - may it never break because they don't make it anymore.

Yea, I have a g602 and I hope to God it never breaks. I try and take care of it because nothing is better imo.

I like the G604 and G602, I did not enjoy the G600, found it too bulky and heavy.

For me, 2-5 are weapon skills (left click is auto attack because I use action cam), I have 6-0 mapped to my mouse for heal, utility, and elite skills (g700, g600, g602, or g502 all work well for this with the scroll wheel rocker being ironically really useful), shift+mouse mappings for f1-f5 for profession skills (I'm an engineer main), tab for weapon swap, q/shift q for pet attack/return, v for dodge, b for special action, x w/ radial for mounts, Ctrl x w/ radial for novelties and mastery skills. Tldr- using shift or Ctrl to layer your skill mappings is the way to go. You'd be surprised how easy you get used to it since you already instinctively use shift for sprinting or just typing normally.

My g602 and 700 are both double clicking, so I'm torn between researching how to solder so I can fix em instead of trying to find a replacement or just learning to work with the 502's 3 side buttons and 2 index buttons + scroll wheel side rocker. I understand that MMOs are pretty rare nowadays, but man it sucks that Logitech pivoted exclusively to fps-focused mice.

Haven't used that mouse, but having a mouse with 4+ side buttons feels great. I use the g700 or 602 (double rip) depending on the computer I'm on. Idk if I'd need something with 12 like the naga since I find using 1-5 with one hand and 6-0 as needed with my mouse w/ shift modifiers for f keys is pretty easy, but I wouldn't think it could hurt to have extra options.

I prefer wireless and a few less buttons. I go with the somewhat similar, no longer manufactured Logitech G602 and G604 on all of my computers. I also prefer better manufacturing and software that doesn't misbehave randomly like Razer's does.

Was too small for my hands. Using a Logitech G602 for the last couple of years.

If you can find one, I've had the G602 for 6 years, has never failed, not once. Many people swear by it.

As someone who loves bigger mice the g602 was peak. Wish they would bring it back

My beloved G602 just died on me (left click switch issues) after 5 years. 6 buttons on the side, perfect for someone new to key binds. Wish they still made it. I don’t play MMOs anymore so I settled on the MX Master 3S for work and love it, but for different reasons. Has 2 side buttons with a thumb scroller. A third or fourth button with easy customization would add so much.

I've been using Logitech G602 mice since the early 2010s. I program and use the side and DPI buttons for gaming and productivity. Since it was discontinued a few years back, I look every now and then for a replacement, but nothing looks or feels right. I love the way that the buttons are configured on this mouse and how easy they are to differentiate from each other. I like the way they "click" and the overall build quality and materials of the mouse. Other mice I've tried feel so cheap and plasticky in comparison, particularly the G604, which I bought and hated. I suppose the one negative about the G602, for me, is the size and weight, as I have small hands. I'm getting annoyed with repairing the switches on my G602 and wish I could just buy a new mouse when I need one lol. Has anyone who absolutely loved this mouse transitioned to something else?

I bought the wireless version as well for $18 on ali express. It's so cheap, might as well give it a shot. I tried a few higher end mice with lots of side buttons like the Asus Chakram and Spatha but they don't fit the hand nearly as well as the G602/G604.

I got my razer naga when I started playing wow, then some logitech i cant remember the model, now i have g602. All of them have "mmorpg buttons". I can't imagine playing without them. There is an improvement in a sense that your rotation feels more seamles. The Naga's keys seem a bit wider set so might feel more comfortable, the last set of buttons on logi isn't within the natural placement of the thumb for me so they feel kinda clunky. If you're thinking of getting one try out how it feels in your hand and if you can press the buttons easily.

I always preferred the g602

I have been using a G602 for years now. The only issue I have ever had with it is the scroll wheel button switch. I have tried cleaning and replacing the switches. It works great for a little while, but sooner or later the switch becomes intermittent. Since I cannot seem to find a permanent solution to the button I am considering a new mouse. The only alternative I have tried is the G604 that Logitech sent me as a replacement for the G602. To me, it felt cheap. The only performance issue I had was the courseness of the scroll wheel. The detents were too coarse/far apart. I want to remain with Logitech products. What mouse would you recommend as a replacement?

I love the G602. I like how it fits in my hand. I like virtually everything about it except for the defect scroll wheel button design. I have been using Logitech products for 15 years. I liked all the products, but they all have something in common; each one had a design flaw unique to the model. The G602 is the scroll wheel button quits working. Logitech has been great replacing these while under warranty, but you are SOL when the warranty runs out. They once replaced a G602 with a G604. Honestly, it felt ultra cheap compared to the G602, but I tried it anyway and did not like it. The scroll wheel detents were far too coarse for me. I buy most of my electronics online, but I guess I am going to have to go to an electronics store to physically put my hands on them.

My left click and scroll wheel stopped working on my Logitech G602, and I was able to revive it for under $20 with a new motherboard. It might also be better to just buy the same model used on ebay since its a similar price, but buying a new motherboard will better guarantee that the mouse will work. A used G602 was double the price of the cost of of the motherboard, so it was more economical to repair. Food for thought.

The G604 (and G602) was one of the greatest mice ever and it shouldn’t have been discontinued. Sure it needed some better components but a refresh not a discontinuation.

The Logitech G602 is a nice big mouse with a big palm area. My fingers are long-ish and it fits nice. My favorite till it started double clicking. Wireless and needs batteries tho. Recommend being nice to it.

Logitech g602 is still my go to and compair against choice. Hard to beat for my preference for in-hand feel

Logitech G602 and I've collected several stored away when my current one dies. Mapping buttons for apps is such a time saver.

Funny timing for this post as I am having a crisis lol. My gaming mouse I haven't used in years is a Logitech g602. I now daily a mx master 3 at home and at work. Even though it's not meant for gaming I use it for that cause it's the mouse I like. Well decided to pull out my g602 to see if it's better for the finals and I can't fi d the dongle. I look online for a new one. They don't make this thing anymore! Or even the g604. Its a fantastic mouse and now I'm quite upset about it lol. But thankfully I found my dongle so I can at least use the one I own. But I'm still in disbelief they don't make this thing anymore or anything similar to it.

Logitech g602 is a chungus of a mouse. But I used it for years

so real, I have the same mouse as yours and bought it for smooth brain reasons I bought a backup before it discontinued

Best mouse ever made. I can't believe they haven't made a successor.

Seems really odd to me.. There are many other MMO mice on the market that are selling fine, and the 6 side button mice are great for all games - Not just MMOs. I keybind those buttons in all my games. There is clearly still some demand there, since the G602/4 are selling for like $250 if you can find them on eBay. Maybe one day they will revive the G600 line :(

For $250+... Edit: Clarification - I was referring to G602/4 not G600. G600 is $90 on eBay, G602/604 is $250+

Sorry - I was referring to the other mice in this line that were discussed in other comments (G602/604). They are $250-$350 on eBay. The standard G600 is $90 on eBay.

The G602/G604 were the best mice ever made and it blows my mind that Logitech has not released a successor.

Man I completely understand what you are looking for and I am still trying to find something as well. I have been using the Logitech G602 & G604 for years. Unfortunately, Logitech has discontinued both of these mice (both had 6 side buttons) and has not provided an alternative. Hoping I can find something in the recommendations on this post because I just had to throw out my last G604 yesterday because the rubber had all fallen off.

The Logitech G602 / G604 have (unfortunately) been discontinued and Logitech has no other mouse with the similar format (6 side buttons).

They are a little cheaper, but they are still extremely expensive on eBay compared to buying a high end mouse that's in production. A brand new G604 is $250+ and buying a pre-owned/used one is a bad idea because the switches could be bad. I was looking last night because my last G604 had to be thrown out yesterday :(
