G602 good for gaming?

[Ralphington]

Hey guys, I was thinking of getting the G602 as it looks nice, but was wondering whether the wireless is good enough for MMOs and FPS games; if not, any other suggestions for a decent mouse under £60 with 9+ buttons would be welcome.

 

Cheers.

EDIT: google messed up i was wrong

imho it is, though I am not really a pro gamer ...

its laser so no

There are plenty of good laser gaming mouses out there.

 

Regarding the OP, i'm not a fan of wireless mouses for gaming, the simple possibility of running out of battery in the middle of a session troubles me.

Yes, it's perfectly fine for gaming. If you're doing hardcore competitive FPS then no, but anyways if that was the case you wouldn't be looking at a wireless mouse.

It's a great mouse, very good built quality and support, and long battery life for a wireless mouse.

Ok thanks, i'll go for it then, i'm not exactly a pro gamer.

No it's optical actually

Yes it's fine, I play Cod4 and it is just on par with my G400. I wasn't sure at first but this mouse is a beast. Fine for FPS and excellent for MMOs, I use all of the macros. Battery life lasts for at least 3 months at a time. You may want to look at the G502 though, if it has enough macros.

G502 is actually 20 pounds more in the UK on amazon which is weird and out of my budget, but thanks for the suggestion.

Didn't actually know that, thanks, you learn something everyday I guess.

G602 is optical and uses the same sensor as the G400s.

I have it, its awesome and you can get a lot of life out of even the cheapest batteries.

its fine for FPS infact I used it as such for quite some time. The only time wireless is really a detriment is LANs or tournaments.

Its also a completely different mouse. The G602 is supposed to be their budget wireless mouse.

or get some energizer lithium ultimate batteries and get insane battery life while making it lighter in the process.
