The G402 is no match for its big brother, the more complete G502. It is still excellent for FPS enthusiasts: it offers more buttons than its direct competitors, its sensor is efficient and it is comfortable, an important point for long gaming sessions.
Strong points
- Pleasant handling.
- Responsive buttons.
- Complete and easy to access software.
Weak points
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
A cheap alternative to the Pulsefire Surge, this Pulsefire Core with limited ambitions on paper does relatively well in practice. Very handy due to its lightness and its excellent glide, not very tiring to use for long hours, it nevertheless sins on a few details: a lack of grip, acceleration of the movements of the sensor impossible to deactivate, a symmetrical design but a design not -ambidextrous and software that deserves a little more care and richness. Sold for around forty euros, it will have difficulty finding a place in a popular segment where the Logitech G403 Prodigy or Corsair Saber Optique reign supreme, alongside of course the essential G502 Proteus Spectrum from Logitech.
