Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse Unboxing & Overview

2013-09-20
on a portable power bank Wireless AP SD card and USB reader for your mobile devices check the link in the video description to learn more about the adata - drive air AE 400 now the obvious thing the obvious misunderstanding is the Logitech g600 2 is a follow up to the G 600 it is not in fact brandon was asking me before we started so for those of you who don't know Brandon is b-roll everyone's decided that they want to use their real names now so there you have it so Brandon was asking me well ok what's it like how does it compare to that other one we have and I kind of went I don't know like I don't know what to say because the G 602 is so different from any other product like what is it is it an FPS mouse is it an MMO Mouse is it a wireless mouse is that a gaming mouse is that this is it that it's a lot of different things and I really feel like particularly with Logitech's pricing of this mouse they've made a lot of other products in the market from other product lines and from their own product line kind of irrelevant which is both a compliment as well as something you know kind of kind of scary because from a business perspective you want you know a better average sell price you want you know better margin you want this you want that and this is a very value oriented option that appeal should appeal to almost anyone so without further ado this my friends is the G 602 buckle my shoe anyway so it takes their new science wins approach to design which means a couple of different things well most importantly very very rugged materials so the finish on the top is a slightly textured hard plastic finish for the left and right mouse buttons a rubberized textured finish here for the palm rest and then a more textured matte black that goes all the way around the right side of the mouse all the way to the back and then around the left side where your thumb rests so this kind of reminds me of their older like they're really old performance mxr like like they're really shapely wireless mice a little bit in terms of the shape a much more sleek more streamlined lower more optimized for gaming okay so that the whole idea behind science wins is these materials aren't going to wear out the next idea behind science winds is other things aren't going to wear out so these buttons here are rated for twenty million clicks each which is outstanding but feet on the bottom are rated for 250 kilometers of travel and you can tell there's quite a large surface area to them both around the outsides of the mouse as well as around the optical sensor yes my friends this is an optical mouse it is a sort of closer to $100 than it is to $50 optical mouse that only runs at 2500 dpi and you might kind of go oh well I could get a higher dpi Mouse for that money yes you could but would you need it this is a return to practicality is the DPI race over Logitech g600 2 says may be which is fascinating to me because 2500 dpi is more than I've ever used in my life and some people do particularly like very high sensitivity but many don't and some people are noticing issues particularly with laser mice which the very high DPI Mouse tend to be and acceleration issues and we shouldn't see any of that although I haven't tried the mouse yet but I'm stoked to turn it on so also here on the bottom we're going to find a power switch so you can turn it off or you can turn it on but I can't imagine why you'd want to turn it off more on that in a moment as well as check that out double-a batteries gone are the proprietary battery packs and what's even more impressive about this is the battery life of this mouse logitech is quoting 250 hours if you have both batteries installed of continuous gaming in gaming performance mode so like if you could actually game for 250 hours straight then you could probably drain both batteries you don't have to use both batteries if you want to adjust the weight and the weight distribution you can install just one battery either in the right or in the left and you'll get about 125 hours it actually says 240 hours on the Box 250 on their website so let's just assume somewhere in that range and then half of somewhere in that range you can also switch it to endurance mode using the switch right here and then you will actually get seen green and blue so in like green endurance mode you can get up to 1400 hours of battery life on a single charge so this is a prime candidate for just having a couple rechargeable batteries nearby and basically not even worrying about the wireless aspect now they've they're claiming that it is gaming grade Wireless so no perceivable latency however it should be noted that this mouse only does 500 Hertz so 500 reports per second we've seen gaming mice that are capable of a thousand but that really raises the question can people feel the difference between 500 Hertz and a thousand and how would that affect battery life and all those other things so is this the reasonable trade-off in much the same way that 2500 dpi is I'll let you guys be the judge of that because while I haven't used fire higher than 2500 dpi on a regular basis I do tend to crank my mice up to as high a refresh rate as I can so now let's go ahead and have a look at the actual mouse because we've talked a lot about the technology not a lot about what's on here so it has 11 programmable buttons so you can see that there are some very sensitively laid out G keys this is again where I find this mouse to be kind of in-between fps and MMO if you look at the layout of the buttons on the Left there's enough that you could you know get some you know toots and toolbelt or whatever bindings going on in there and there's sort of more than you might need for a typical FPS you know if you just need push-to-talk throw grenade melee and that's about it but I personally think there's a really good balance because I can actually reach them all so while an MMO Mouse might make might you know you might want more buttons the reality of it is you're not going to be able to tactile II feel a lot of them anyway and this even with my smaller hands is very comfortable and very reachable which is which is cool so it's up to you guys whether sort of again the race to more actually makes sense or whether it doesn't on the top two more programmable buttons up here so these are by default bound to dpi so you have five different dpi settings right there 1 2 3 4 5 works just the same way as many other Logitech mice do but of course you can remap them to macros or other functionality or whatever else the case may be oh yeah accessories right I guess that matters so there's they're included wireless dongle which is extremely low profile not their Universal receiver which can have up to 6 different devices because this is a gaming grade one and then you've also got a little extension doodad here so you can plug get into your USB port and then have it sit somewhere a little bit closer to you mice if that makes you feel better for whatever reason so that's pretty much it guys I mean the only thing left is what do you oh yeah there's a battery indicator apparently right now that would be here of course um so the only thing left is what do you guys think what Mouse is this most similar to what would you compare it to and are you looking real closely at the gee 602 right about now don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos leave a like on the video if you liked it leave a dislike if you disliked it both of those are okay and leave a comment telling me what you think
