TULISAN My Favorite Things

I like the concept of gaming mice, with their high resolution sensors and high speed report rate. I loathe wires, however. I’ve played with a variety of wireless gaming mice, including the pricey MatCatz R.A.T. 9, but eventually settled on the Logitech G700. But how the G700 ate batteries. Sure, I keep a set of rechargeable AA batteries on hand, but having to swap batteries every 2-3 days was a nuisance.

And then Logitech released the G602. It has nearly all the buttons of the G700, but weighs a bit more since it uses a pair of AA batteries. However, Logitech posits a 250 hour battery life in full-on gaming mode and over 1,400 hours in normal use. I’ve yet to swap batteries after four weeks, and Logitech’s battery indicator tells me my battery is still more than half-full. And that’s with several hours of gaming a day plus a full working day.
