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.

Can you say more about how you did that? I have some Logitech mice that are awful to use because of this. And they were extremely expensive. Had I known that after a year they'd turn into a sticky mess I'd have sent them back immediately (or never bought them)

It was as easy as pouring a lot on a paper towel, rub on, and let dry for a day. I tried isopropyl and the baking soda scrub but acetone worked best. I think it works best because isopropyl only cleans off the outer sticky layer and baking soda scrubs it off as an abrasive (works but very slow).

I fixed a logic mouse, a bodum coffee grinder, and the handle of a fancy umbrella.
