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.

    Still using mine but the left click is starting to fail permanently.
    It had a phase a couple of years ago where it liked to double click but that went away again after a while.

    Now its starting to seriously double and triple click and sometimes not click at all.

    Might have to start investing some time looking for a replacement. o7

      My G604 had a similar probelm. I even disassembled it and soldered in new microswitches, and it’s already double-clicking again less than 6 months later

      It’s usually just a simple switch to solder on…learn to solder. Mice switches are easy. Let the g602 live forever

        My lperformance MX micro switch fails every 1- 2 years. I bought a cheap pack of 10 microswitches and open them up to use the springs as donors. Swap the worn spring for the new one and it’s back in business
