Logitech G402 Review
Logitech has always been a great attraction for gaming mice lovers. They have always bewitched enthusiasts with their superior level gaming mice. Most of their gaming mice contain pixel precise optical sensors and just above average build quality. They're also ahead of making wireless gaming mice. They've joined the race after unveiling G900 Chaos Spectrum and now on the verge of becoming the best for their most recently released G603 that can run up to 500 hours on a single charge in high response time mode. One of Logitech's most commendable mice is the G402 Hyperion Fury. This mouse features some of the most amazing facts that you can ever get from a mouse. It features Fusion Engine along with it's AM010 optical sensor that enables the sensor to snap the images of tracking surface on a higher rate of FPS which qualifies higher rate of tracking speed. It also has Delta Zero Technology to prevent the tracking process from all kinds of acceleration issues. Overall this mouse is entirely great. This time we are going to review this mouse.I'm Mashhud Hasan from frenzytitans360. So without further introductions, let's jump into the review.
Body & Shape : First of all, I want to talk about the size and shape of it's body. The shape is pretty symmetrical. The ratio between claw and palm rest's height and width is static and balanced. But i think fingertip and palm grippers will get more adjusted with it. Whole chassis is rubberized and left & right buttons are separated from the chassis which will let you click with ease. It has a very small thumb rest and has a jagged texture on the right side of the mouse which will allow you to lift off without that mouse getting slipped off from your hand. It has a logo of Logitech which is located at the peak of it's height. It glows with Logitech's traditional blue color after plugging it in. It also has a 3-level DPI indicator in front of the sniper button. It has a total of 5 gliding pads and one of them are located near the sensor shaped like a hexagon. Gliding pads are slippery enough to glide the mouse with ease and the cable of the mouse is rubberized with thick skin of rubber. After shaking the mouse, I hardly found any rattles. Overall the mechanics of this mouse is very good and I'm really impressed with it's sturdy build quality.
Buttons : Button adjustments and locations of this mouse are satisfying. It has a total of 8 buttons including left & right buttons, scroll wheel, 2 DPI buttons for increasing and decreasing the sensitivity level, backward & forward button and a sniper button. Sniper button is a momentous thing that every FPS players want to have. Corsair M65 has a sniper button but that mouse's price is whopping 117$ on amazon plus it has a laser sensor that won't give you the amount of accuracy that an average optical sensor can give. It has a cheaper and optical version named Pro version though but still it's list price is around 70$ or something. While FPS players can enjoy the availability of sniper button by buying G402 at a cost of only 35$. This sniper button actually decreases the DPI down to it's minimum level so that you can temporarily target anything with maximum precision. Forward and backward buttons are positioned on perfect place and they're very snappy. It has two DPI buttons that aren't located near the scroll wheel which I didn't really like it. But after getting adjusted with it, I've found it quite acceptable. The scroll wheel is rubberized and it can be scrolled with comfort. Left and right buttons are very responsive. I've tested it's latency and it was somewhere around 3.96 ms. Most of the time the latency of the clicks are around 3 ms to 4 ms and even at some accidental clicks, it goes up to only 9-10 ms. Sometimes the latency goes down to 1 ms but it's exceptional. So the left and right buttons are very reactive and overall all of the buttons and their functional performances are good.
Sensor : The sensor that G402 contains is AM010 optical sensor that's embedded on the circuit along with a gyro sensor. They're actually calling this combination the Fusion Engine hybrid sensor. This features Delta Zero technology that allows the cursor to move without a single gravitation of acceleration. And the gyro sensor helps the optical sensor to sense both of the rotational motion and change of orientation. All of these sophisticated facilities have increased the tracking process a lot and are the reason of this mouse's higher rate of tracking motion. That's why the sensor won't track-out at snappy movements and the cursor will move without any interpolation and deceleration. I've tested this sensor's accuracy test and it has performed surprisingly really well. First, I've tested the accuracy at 400 DPI with the Windows Sensitivity of 6/11, and the accuracy of cursor movement was whopping 97.79%. At 800 and 1600 DPI with same sensitivity, the accuracy was 98.75% and around 95% respectively. At whopping 4000 DPI and retaining the same sensitivity, the accuracy was around 92.96%. So,we can see that even at the maximum DPI range and optimum sensitivity, the rate of accuracy crosses 90%. This sensor is unbelievably accurate and can track at any surfaces without any stutter. Moreover, it's emitter emits laser ray to illuminate the surface beneath the sensor. Those mice that have optical emitter actually suffers to track on brighter surfaces. In that case, G402 can be used at brighter surfaces but opaque surfaces are always recommended. It has a lower lift off distance and can adapt on any surfaces. Overall the sensor of this mouse is a monstrous stuff. PMW3389, PMW3366 ,Mercury, PMW3310 - these are the sensors that sprint at the debate of best mouse sensor and AM010 is definitely one of their competitors.
Others : We all know that a mouse's Micro Controller Unit's performance decides how speed that mouse can process it's distance and vector of movement with the process of Digital Image Correlation. In that case, the cursor's reaction speed is dependent on the polling rate. G402's good at all of these departments. It has an on board 32-bit ARM Processor that boosts the fusion engine to track at higher motion. I've tested this mouse's polling rate and it has performed very well. At quick movements, it's minimum polling rate is somewhere around 920Hz and has a maximum rate of around 980Hz. It's average polling rate is around 949.47Hz. This is a lot more than enough for any kinds of works.
So, after summarizing everything above, we'll find out that G402 Hyperion Fury has some of the most unique features that aren't marketing gimmick. It's fusion engine is truly something special. Buttons are qualified and the shape of the mouse is comfortable for all of the grippers. It's weight is 108 grams that might be erratic for FPS players so there should be a weight tuning arrangement. It has an ultramodern Micro Controller Unit that contains 32-bit on board ARM Processor that constrains the polling rate to reach it's peak. And not to mention that this mouse has a very aggressive and bold look. Overall this is the best mouse you can get at it's budget. Thanks for reading the review and stay tuned for more.
