Our Verdict

Logitech G602

Logitech MX Master

The Logitech G602 is a better gaming mouse, while the Logitech MX Master is better for office use. The MX Master connects via its USB receiver or Bluetooth and has a micro USB cable for charging. It also has a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilt buttons. Comparatively, the G602 only connects via its USB receiver and uses two AA batteries. It also has much better latency, more side buttons, a wider CPI range, and a higher polling rate. Both mice are best-suited for a palm or claw grip for nearly all hand sizes.
