Excellent entry-level small mouse - Logitech Logitech G102 Prodigy gaming mouse

The G102 is a new entry-level gaming mouse released by Logitech in 2016. Like the G403 in the same period, they all abandoned the previous generation's killer style and returned to the traditional mouse's mellow style. This article will give a brief review of the G102 mouse in terms of packaging, form factor, and software settings.

The G102's packaging uses the style of the Logitech mouse. The overall packaging is black and blue and white. The front side has a product picture on the black bottom. The back side lists the main selling points of the mouse (dpi limit 6000, 10 million click lifetime, 16.8 million color RGB lighting effects, 6 Programming button), the side of the side lists the main performance indicators, one side is the name of the mouse - G102 Prodigy

Packaging side

The packaging is very simple, open the lid, which is the body of the mouse. For a mouse less than 200, this packaging specification is enough. However, the protection of the internal mouse is still lacking. When the front of the box is squeezed, it is easy to press directly onto the mouse body.

The G102 is a traditional symmetric mouse model with a round head. The overall material of the mouse agrees to use frosted plastic. The advantage is that it is dirt-resistant and easy to understand. The disadvantage is that there is no friction like skin-like materials and it is easy to slip.

The G102's wire uses an ordinary mouse cable, and there is no weaving net with a high-end mouse, which has a certain impact on the life of the wire. The plug is not gold-plated. The shape is a traditional Logitech mouse usb plug.

Logitech's G logo and RGB light strips are placed on the bottom of the mouse's hips. Both are matte and translucent materials, and the light is even and soft.

The feel of the scroll wheel is rather jerky. It does not seem to use the Logitech mouse with the rapid scroll wheel. The feel of the scroll wheel is not much better. In addition, the G102's scroll wheel is more angular because of its angular feel.

The feel of the side keys is good, although it looks smaller, but it is enough for this size of mouse.

The foot of G102 is four small ovals. SN code printed underneath, as a proof of warranty.

Due to its small size, the G102 is suitable for grasping and holding the mouse and is also more suitable for people with small hands.

Reality show

The G102's setup panel is basically the same as the other Logitech mice. It comes with a set of on-board presets and 4 DPI settings. If you need more presets to adjust at any time, you can enable the function of presetting according to the game. I use this for G403. After specifying the game's startup file, the mouse's key bit settings will automatically switch, it is still very convenient.

Logitech game software also has the function of button number analysis. Although it is useless, it is better than nothing.

G102's light is very dazzling, you can see from the setting interface, the light color can be automatically converted, you can also specify a single color, lighting area for the bottom of the G logo and lights. Uniform backlight, moderate brightness, very good

Different colors of ass

1. The traditional design, compared with the G502's killer style, G403, G102 are back to the traditional mouse shape, feel for more users

2. Enough function keys and DPI range, I use DPI 800, the actual use is relatively stable, no significant jitter in painting mosquito coils

3. Easy to use software settings. I think the supporting software of Logitech mouse has always been good, clear and easy to use, and the functions are complete

4. Beautiful lighting

1. The surface of all plastic matte will cause problems with sliding hands

2. Without braided wire, the life of the wire is relatively short

3. DPI range up to 6000, for high-resolution users, may not be enough, it is recommended to use in 1080p.

I haven't used this price mouse in the past, but for the G102, it can meet most of the player's functional needs, and it's a small gap from the G403 I've used. It's not right to feel it.
