Logitech G Unveils G302 Daedalus Prime MOBA Gaming Mouse

[btarunr]

Logitech, a leading innovator of gaming peripherals, today introduced its newest Logitech G mouse, the Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime MOBA Gaming Mouse. Tested by professional MOBA gamers from around the world including players from Team SoloMid, Cloud9, CJ Entus Frost, CJ Entus Blaze, and Invictus Gaming, the Logitech G302 is designed to withstand the rigors of the highest tiers of professional eSports gaming. Specifically, its exclusive metal spring button tensioning system improves click responsiveness, making in-game actions fast and accurate.

The Logitech G302 reflects our ongoing commitment to leverage science to design products that help gamers win. The buttons, shape and weight of this mouse are uniquely tuned to the demands of professional MOBA gamers, with fast and responsive left and right-button clicking.



"We built the Logitech G302 to meet the performance needs of the best eSports athletes in the world," said Vincent Tucker, director of Logitech gaming. "The G302 is the best mouse for MOBA gameplay combining comfort and durability with some of the most advanced technology available. It withstands the rigors of the highest levels of gaming, and enables extremely fast clicking and precise timing, which is critical, given that a victory or loss can be determined in milliseconds."

The Logitech G302 also incorporates Logitech's Delta Zero sensor technology, which combines exclusive lens design, illumination geometry, and algorithms to deliver the most accurate translation of hand movements to on-screen actions currently available.

"It's super light and responsive, the buttons are fast and feel great, and the tracking is impeccable," said Jason "WildTurtle" Tran from Team SoloMid. "The G302 is exactly what I need to help my team win."

Designed For High-Speed Clicking
A metal spring tensioning system improves the left and right click responsiveness to make clicking faster and more accurate. In addition to feeling great, the buttons are capable of registering up to five clicks per second, ensuring the Logitech G302 can keep up with your rapid-fire clicking. This can sometimes be the difference between winning or losing an important game.

Customizable Settings
The Logitech G302 features six programmable buttons, allowing you to customize your gaming experience. The buttons are programmable to do anything from one-button hotkeys to complex macros. Achieve great results with the default configuration straight out of the box, or use Logitech Gaming Software to assign any game command or multi-command macro to the buttons. The Logitech G302 also features four DPI settings that can be accessed in an instant, making it easy to shift down for pixel-perfect targeting or shift up for high-speed navigation, all with maximum precision.

Lightweight and Durable Design
The lightweight design features super low friction feet and ultra-durable primary buttons that have been tested for more than 20 million clicks - equivalent of an eSports athlete playing up to 15 hours per day for two years - so you can play with confidence knowing that the Logitech G302 will survive for battles to come.

Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime MOBA Gaming Mouse is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in November 2014, for a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Cool I like these new designs

 

[rtwjunkie]

I need contoured for my whole hand, like the G500 gaming mouse. Well, I'm set for quite awhile anyway, I've got my G500, and a spare for when it wears out.

A G500 that is slightly bigger and has a bit more pinky support would be perfect for me.
that or a dpi switchable trackball mouse

Another fancy optical mouse after the G400 and G500? Nice to see a resurgence that category. Does this mean the G600 is next for a version with an optical sensor? That'd be really awesome and I'd buy it immediately.

That would be perfect! I never thought about that, but yes, my pinky gets tired without any support.

I wish they'd refresh their wireless line. They've got M705, G602 and the Performance MX (yeah I missed G700s, on purpose), that's actually worth it, in my opinion. Everything else is office/everyday use with 1000CPI. But when office monitors are getting bigger I don't think it's enough anymore and NO back button!, whose lack is just so missing for me.

Pricing on G602 at my place is equal to their latest wired mice like Proteus core with 12 000 CPI. I mean, Logitech released 3 mice with wires in a row? How about a bit more competitive WiFi pricing? Because the 2500 CPI of G602 with it's optical sensor VS. 12 000 CPI, weights and a bunch of goddies for Proteus Core, for the same amount of money is kinda....underwhelming for people who want to be wireless only. At least that's how I feel. I wouldn't mind a mid-range Logitech WiFi mouse with 2400-3200 CPI for about 40 Euros (and keep the HyperScroll there).

I am saying this becaus the M705 I am using now is the best mouse, I've used for the last 2 years. But that 1000 CPI is just so slow, it's killing me. And I can't shell out cash for G602 right now. And even if I could, I'd be left with a sour taste for having "old" technology when their top tier is the same amount of money.

CPI/DPI doesnt really matter much for most users. I use a pair of 1440p screens and with my Logitech G500 I never use resolution more than 2500. Also I am skeptical about "quality" of switches Logitech uses as every single of my G series mice have developed double click problem within 2 years(at most) of purchase. My Mx518 is still going strong while newer products fail faster than a rock in water.

 

[remixedcat]

We need a new version of the g700.

Same ergonomics as the 700 but the design/materials of the 502. Also a new sensor.

I'm equally split on the 502/700 I use and love both of those.

 

[AsRock]

Wow those side button are way back and dam that things ugly to even look at never mind it looks painful to use.

I guess they not done gaming in summer when the sweat comes looking at that mouse wheel. What they do make this mouse from failed idea's ?.

G602 would be it. Don't worry about the batteries, I've been going over a month now on this last set. Grab some Eneloops, go nuts. Weight is also fine too.

This is a 115mm-long mouse. It's small and ideal for fingertip grip. The side-button placement is perfect in that regard. I agree that the scroll wheel looks suspect though and I wish they'd made the front wider while cutting off some of the rear.

The mouse actually looks much better than it does in this picture. Too bad the sensor is really weak, it's the same as in G400s, not very accurate...

4,000 dpi not accurate? I can tell from actual use, even using on my fiance's rig it at a default of 1,800 it is accurate, and even moreso when you change the dpi even higher, which you can do on the fly.

Yes, high DPI does not mean accuracy. You really are one of those people who buys this high DPI bullshit all companies are making now? Read about that sensor and you will see it's not that good, it's not the worst either, it's usable. The problem is it has a low fps camera, so no matter what DPI it has, its refresh rate, if you will, is too low. If you really want a 4000DPI sensor buy a mouse with Avago 3090. My advice is to use it at 1600DPI and below.

 

[rtwjunkie]

No, I'm actually one of those people who buys things after reading many many user reviews and then I try things out. I finally bought it, after predominately good reviews because ergonomically it is the direct successor to the MX-518. And I DO personally find it more accurate than the 518 was...and I used one of those for 4 and a half years.

Like I've said it's not the worst sensor ever, it's usable, but not one of the best either. If you need something similar to that but with a better sensor, here: http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Mice/ROCCAT-Kone-Pure-Optical/

Thanks for that link! I'll certainly check it out.

The mouse isn't nearly as good as you think.

Well one of the reasons Logitech opted for the sensor on the G302 is that the old AM010 related to the MLT04 has a very "snappy" feel to it which some users love. The A3090 is a good sensor with proper firmware has a higher PCS so it can tolerate flick movements better but that's about it. the Kone Pure Optical has several issues created by Roccats firmware with the mouse.

Both mice track well and reliably.

The A3090's advantage the higher max tracking speed drops like a brick as your bump up dpi/cpi for that mouse. The mouse is only great at 400/800 dpi and 1000hz. Polling at 500hz drops the max tracking speed for some reason and at 1600 dpi the tracking speed drops below that of the G302's. I assume this is because the Kone Pure Optical's firmware doesn't do any smoothing ever, at 4000dpi the mouse isn't suitable for games.

The G302 is reliable tracking speed from 240-2000 dpi with no smoothing and only has to resort to smoothing of 1ms at 2080-4000 dpi but max tracking speed doesn't change with the mouse. You'd get the G302 above the G100s from logitech because without the processor to run the firmware the G100s is only reliable at 1000 dpi and 500hz. Same sensor different results. Showing that sensors aren't everything in a mouse. Same reason people like the Zowie FK1 but find the Corsair M45 a bogged down mouse, Corsair's firmware has too much smoothing.

The mouse isn't nearly as good as you think.

I know it isn't but it's the most similar in shape to the Logitech one. I have a CM Storm Recon that I use at 1600DPI. I have to keep the lights off because it somehow interferes with the sensor and you get fluctuations with them on. I'm not saying the 3090 is the perfect sensor, but it's better than the AM010...
