Like the Energizer bunny, the Logitech G602 is the gaming mouse that keeps going and going

By Craig Lloyd Published August 27, 2013

Long battery life and gaming don’t really belong in the same sentence, but Logitech is giving it a shot anyway. The company announced the G602 wireless gaming mouse today, which claims that it can run for “more than 1,400 hours” before needing new batteries, which is around two months of continuous 24/7 use.

The G602 is the latest addition to Logitech’s rebranded G series of gaming peripherals that the company launched back in March with a slew of new keyboards, mice, and headsets. The G602 sports 11 programmable buttons and is rated for 250 hours in full gaming mode, giving you all the power you could possibly need to make it through those long gaming sessions

The mouse also has an endurance mode that dials down the controls and the features for a more low-power state of mouse control. This will give you the previously-mention 1,400 hours of use before you have to change out the two AA batteries that it requires.

The mouse comes with Logitech’s exclusive Delta Zero sensor technology with 2500DPI – certainly not anything close to other top-tier gaming mice on the market, like the Razer Mamba’s 5600DPI. However, it’s certainly hard to beat a 250-hour battery life with a gaming mouse these days, and Logitech had to sacrifice just a bit of performance in order to keep the mouse chugging along for an extended amount time.

The Logitech G602 will begin selling next month for $80. The company will also be launching the new G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Pad for $30, as well as the $20 G240 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad for high-DPI and low-DPI gaming, respectively.

Amazon wants to design in-house chips for Kindles, Fire TV, and Echo speakers

Apple did it first. Amazon is doing it now, starting with 40 million chips a year and a partner most people have never heard of.

Apple's decision to design its own chips reshaped the consumer electronics industry. Amazon may be about to make the same call, just about two decades later.

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Amazon is preparing to shift away from externally sourced processors for its consumer electronics lineup, marking what he describes as the company's first major processor procurement change in 20 years. The transition is expected to begin in 2027.

AI wants to summarize it all. TripAdvisor’s misleading reviews show AI will also ruin your travel plans

Spotless, friendly, and totally wrong. AI summaries are hiding the reviews that actually matter.

Planning a trip is stressful enough without wondering if the glowing hotel summary you just read was written by an AI that skipped the scary parts. As it turns out, that might be exactly what's happening on TripAdvisor.

According to an investigation by consumer group Which?, reported by the Guardian, TripAdvisor's AI-generated review summaries are smoothing over serious guest complaints, and in some cases, downright dangerous ones.

Opera’s new Paste Protect feature stops the clipboard attack your antivirus can’t catch

ClickFix attacks trick you into compromising your own device, and no major browser had a native defense against them until now.

Most online scams are easy enough to spot once you know what to look for. Fake login pages, suspicious attachments, or urgent wire transfer requests are dead giveaways. But ClickFix doesn't look like any of them. It presents itself as a solution, and it asks you to do something so routine that few people think twice about it.

The technique was behind more than 53 percent of malware loader incidents last year, according to cybersecurity firm Huntress, and no major browser had a native defense against it until now. Opera is fixing that with a new feature called Paste Protect.
