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

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.

Samsung’s new Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor is beautiful, but it has a fatal flaw

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (2023) playing a racing simulator.

At CES 2023, I had a chance to look at Samsung's upcoming Odyssey Neo G9. It's a monster gaming monitor, and you don't need to look further than the spec sheet to see that. Dual 4K resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 32:9 aspect ratio with a 57-inch screen? There's a lot to love.

And after seeing it, I was floored by the quality. It's an insane gaming monitor that looks fantastic, and I can't wait to use one for an extended period of time. But there's a big problem with the new Odyssey Neo G9, and it could be dead on arrival.

CES 2023: Razer Edge 5G is an impressive (and misguided) gaming handheld

Razer's Edge 5G gaming device sitting on a table.

Razer is tapping into the cloud/mobile/handheld gaming craze with the Edge 5G. It's a unique device, packed with a powerful Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 mobile chipset for native Android gaming, as well as 5G and Wi-Fi 6E support for on-the-go cloud gaming. I had a chance to try it out at CES 2023, and it's the best iteration of this type of device we've seen. But it still loses on principle.

If you're unfamiliar with the Razer Edge, it's basically a phone that you can't call or text with combined with Razer's Kishi V2 Pro controller. The controller isn't the same as the $100 Kishi V2 you can buy now -- it's almost identical, but Razer added haptics for the Edge. You can't buy this updated version, but when I asked Razer if it planned to bring the Pro to market, the company left the door open.
