Buyers notice: The logitech G402 is more suited for people with larger hands as you will see from my comparison pictures between the g403 and g203. If you have smaller hands, you will find it difficult to reach the function buttons. (My hands are 19cm+)
I rated this 4 stars due to it being a week late and also the packaging being damaged upon delivery.
Detailed description: (Scroll down if you want a quick PROS/CONS list)
After buying and reviewing the Logitech g203 mouse, (which I gave 5 stars for comfortability, size and durability), the Logitech G403 comes to a close second for me, but makes great use in other departments that the G203 can’t do.
While the G203 is small in comparison, I found that it was harder to grip having bigger hands, therefore I purchased the G402 as a substitute for gaming as it required me to reposition my hand from a full palm grip to half a palm grip which overtime puts strain on the wrist.
Its size and ergonomic design was makes it easy to fully palm grip the mouse for right handed people and you can easily rest your thumb on the rest.
If you have never tried mice before or are switching from a traditional lighter mouse, then you will notice the clear difference in weight with the Logitech G402 as it is heavier.
While it is also heavier, it includes an older sensor with higher DPI, (this doesn’t mean its bad!), the sensor difference is barely noticeable. The older sensor only means that the mouse is less responsive to movement but the difference is minuscule.
The heavier weight means that it takes more movement of the wrist and hand for the cursor when gliding the mouse in comparison to the g203, however the DPI makes up for it.
While the weight may seem like a disadvantage, it can be beneficial if you prefer control over speed when it comes to gaming. (This is why some mice come with added weights, which isn’t viable in this mouse).
It also features 8 re-programable buttons that are useful for macro shortcuts or by giving you more functionality in games.
The positioning of said buttons are perfect, however you will struggle to reach the two extra buttons at the top if you don’t have the correct hand size.
The difference scroll wheel in comparison to the g203 is not very noticeable, but the G402’s scroll wheel moves more easily, while the G203 requires more effort.
The cord itself is the same as the G203 only the G203ms mouse seems to move easier.
G402 PROS:
- Ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hd for right handed people
- Has a thumb rest
- Heavier mouse if you prefer control over speed
- Clicking (in my opinion) is quieter than the G203
- Features 8 re-programmable buttons beneficial for macros/FPS
- Scroll wheel scrolls smoother than the G203
- Design is pleasing to the eye
- High DPI
- Made from durable, good quality material
G402 CONS:
- Older mouse
- Size of the mouse is more people with bigger hands
- 2 of the buttons located beside the left and right mouse buttons are hard to reach if you have shorter fingers
- Older sensor than newer models
- Heavy mouse meaning that it requires extra arm/wrist movement in order to glide
- Doesn’t feature RGB for all you rainbow lovers out there, you will have to make do with the fixed blue and breathing mode.
