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.

I went through 3 of these within the span of maybe 4 years. the middle click failed on all three of them and I've basically written off logitech for any peripherals since.

I would love a well made mouse with the same shape/side button layout but the closest I've come is the glorious model I2.

Had the same issue, disassembled it, cleaned the contacts with some izopropilic alcohol and problem solved.

Middle click was gone for years, yeah.

I don't like scroll-wheel clicking luckily. Has never felt natural. Just set middle click to one of the thumb buttons and never thought about it again tbh. ๐Ÿ˜
