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.
The G900 series doesn’t have that, or at least it didn’t when I bought mine like 8-10 years ago.
I’ve had several MS mice, keyboards, and various electronics from many manufacturers that do that though. I hate it as well, and actively avoid buying things coated in it.
That said, sometimes you can melt it off with acetone. What you are left with depends on whatever it started as though.
