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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My G305 lightspeed finally died after 4 years of MOBAs.  I had purchases a g602 lightspeed off FB for $10. At the time it was over $100 MSRP. When I asked about the proce, he said he used it once and decided it was too much mouse for his needs. Anyway, I plugged it in and hated it. I decided to give it some time because it's bigger, has more side buttons, and overall doesn't feel comfortable to use. Fast forward six months, and I don't hate it, but I will never get used to it like it did the g305. So if anyone has a recommendation of a mouse that fits my hand like the g305, but maybe has inductive charging through a (even if proprietary) mouse pad, I would appreciate the feedback. Otherwise, I'm eyeballing the G Pro X superlight.

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.

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.

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.

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 :(

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.

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 :(
