Initially, I wanted to buy the master 2S because it is expensive, and theoretically it should be better than the cheaper ones! I like how it looks but before I put it in my cart I saw this mouse with discount in the Prime Day deals. I began search YouTube to see reviews and comparisons. I liked that it has double AA battery and it is not rechargeable, I didn't want another rechargeable device in my daily life, I'm tired of recharging my devices, I want something which I can replace the batteries every few months. Another disadvantage of the rechargeable batteries that they degrade after time until it will come time when they will not hold any charge. I end up buying the G602 and I like it very much.
Even this mouse was released at 2013 but still it is one of the best mice in the market until today, it is comfort in my hand -I've average hand size- the ability to change DPI on the fly is a big time saver, I'm not gamer but this feature is very important for productivity purposes, you can control how sensitive the movement of the mouse pointer on the fly. the medium and high DPI will give you a good control of movement and the mouse will respond to small movement of your wrist efficiently, that is means small wrist movement, less tired and less pain. Lower DPI helps sometimes to move objects in the documents more precise. I switch between DPIs to choose from more comfort and quick to more precise and slower.
I bought this mouse recently and I cannot comment about the battery life but depending on all reviews on the YouTube I got a conclusion that battery life in this mouse is exceptionally amazing, especially when you choose the endurance mode, you can choose this mode by pressing the small button near the LED grid on the top of the mouse (green light means endurance mode). The battery compartment has a place to store the USB receiver.
You have 6 buttons on the side, and they are completely customizable through the Logitech Gaming Software, they are easy to reach, and by design they cannot be pressed by accident, only sometimes I forget which shortcut I assigned to every button and I refer to the software to remember them. the shortcuts can be stored into the internal mouse memory, so if you use this mouse with another computer you can take your favorite shortcuts with you. The shortcuts can be universal, or you can assign different shortcuts for specific programs.
Many people asked if the middle button can tilt left and right, the answer is no! so if you want to scroll horizontally without pressing the scroll bars, you can assign 2 of the shortcut keys to scroll left or right.
I highly recommend buying mouse pad and case for this mouse to keep it clean and smooth, I personally use 3M Precise Mouse Pad and Hermitshell Travel PU Case Fits Logitech G602 , they are affordable and well made.
What is difference between this and Master 2S?
I don't own the 2S but I saw many reviews and I've good idea about it, 2S has rechargeable battery, it can work with the included USB receiver or via Bluetooth, it can work with 3 computers together at the same time. S2 middle button can switch to fast scroll mode. While G602 has replaceable battery and it has amazing long battery life, G602 has more buttons to customize, you can change the DPI while you are working on the fly through the dedicated buttons.
I choose the G602 because it has longer battery life, more cheaper, more durable, more customizable, more ergonomic and has ability to change the DPI on the fly.
I highly recommend this mouse not only for gaming but for productivity as well!
