I’ve had my G602 so long I have literally no memory of buying it. Definitely since before the 2017 discontinuing so it lasted 10 years atleast. A true hero, absolutely got my money’s worth from it.
I felt a bit sad just throwing it away after so much time so I thought I’d make a post about it. Maybe someone wants it for parts, but otherwise atleast I got to share my little sadness for a good quality product that’s served me very well.
It stopped staying turned on. Once batteries went in, it would turn on for a few seconds then stop working. Tried what fixes I could find online to no avail.
You can barely customize the buttons on these anymore so it was probably time.
A shame to learn there’s really no modern counterpart. Ended up replacing it with a razer basilisk V3 because it was the most similar in shape I could find.
Their biggest issue is software. Which can mostly be made redundant through open source 3rd party alternatives
This is news to me. Are you saying there’s a way to not have their peripheral control app, but still actually use the features of a G502 wireless?
https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar doesn’t do everything but it can map buttons.
That and middle mouse button failing. But nobody makes a mouse with a reliable middle mouse button.
All my last Logitech mice have had the dreaded accidental double-click.
I’ve tried Razer for a change. I’ve had to send it for a second replacement as the scroll wheel inevitably failed again.
Will someone please make a decent mouse with proper buttons and a solid scroll wheel encoder? Maybe Razer and Logitech should pair up: one has great switches for their buttons, the other seems to make a scroll wheel that doesn’t immediately fail. Combine both strengths to make the perfect mouse.
My Ex-Roccat (Now Turtle Beach) AIMO buttons are holding up very well after years and years of heavy daily use including clicker games and ARPGS - only thing i had to do once was to open it up (standard screwdriver) and bend the metal thingies inside of the microswitches back up a bit after about 5 years. i could have alternatively just put a bit of tape on the piece of the mousebutton that presses down on the microswitches - that plastic part that was responsible for pushing down the micro was worn down, causing unclean single click, but i can do that when it acts up again.
