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.

I recently purchased a battery off of Alibaba to keep my G602 going for another decade. Truly, there’s nothing else like it. Yours looks like it took a bullet for you…? Such a brave little mouser.
I’ve kept my little logitech mouse around for a while too. I first got it in 2007, and I’ve been through 3 PCs, gone from Windows XP to 7 to 10 to LMDE to Fedora, and she’s still going strong today
Are you in the US? I bought this exact mouse years ago but I quit using it after one day because I didn’t like it’s shape. It’s just been in the drawer since then. If you want it, DM me and I’ll send it to you for free.
Dusty, but I think it still works!
Man, you are a real one. I love seeing positive human interaction on the web.
The 90’s internet is back!
If op doesn’t take you up on this, hit me up. I’ll even pay shipping.
OP did message me, it’s in the mail!
Good! Glad someone is getting to use it.
Hell yeah brother
Impressive o7
Ive long since felt that logitech was the Nokia of computer peripherals. Never had an issue with anything
Their biggest issue is software. Which can mostly be made redundant through open source 3rd party alternatives
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.
