[Review] Logitech G102 Prodigy (English)

Logitech G102

G102, a mouse (or mice?) that Logitech has been released for a decent price about Rp. 300.000 in Indonesia. This gaming mouse is really similiar to the cheap Logitech B100 that cost around Rp. 50.000. Then what is the difference? Of course the parts that being used is different. Gaming grade sensor (Mercury sensor, ranging from 200 to 6000 dpi) that is pretty accurate for playing fast paced game like FPS or MOBA (i've played CS:GO and get a pretty solid performance with this mouse sensor), Omron switches for the left and right click with addition of advanced button tensioning (the feature that I've liked from Logitech since using the G302 and now the G102) that makes the click to feel more crisp. But then again there's Logitech G100s at the same price range right? Yep, but this G102 I've heard will replace the G100s from the Logitech Gaming lineup but I don't know for sure about it. The difference from G100s is the sensor (G100s uses AM010 sensor), no advanced button tensioning, and no RGB lighting (now is the time of the RGB lighting to shine on your setup). 

(B100 vs G102)

Okay, other than sensor and RGB lighting, there is also another feature in this mouse compared to the cheapo B100, that is on-board memory to save your settings on the mouse (so if you plugged it in other PC, it still have your last settings), and additional 3 extra buttons that you can program to your heart content with the Logitech Gaming Software (default is dpi step, forward and back, and also you can program the left, right and middle click, but I wouldn't recommend that).

There are few things that can be a pro or cons from this mouse and every other mouse, that is shape, size and weight. The shape is symmetrical like a standard B100 (small, almost oval) but the extra buttons is only on the left, making it not recommended for the left handed. And it only weights about 85grams. It all comes back to you, wether you like it or not the kind of shape, size and weight of this mouse.

If my post is to long then I will shorten it in few points of pros and cons.
PRO :
- sensor : Mercury (good)
- left and right click with Omron switches plus the advanced button tensioning system
- RGB lighting (light up your gear)
- on-board memory to save your mouse settings
- 3 extra programmable buttons
- decent price for the feature and quality that been given from this mouse

CONS :
- cable not braided yet
- no weight adjusment system
- material all plastic with no extra layer for comfort or anti slippery for wet hands

RELATIVELY (depend on the user) :
- the shape and size
- the weight (about 85grams)

It is not a prefect mouse, but I dare to say it is a recommended one. There is a better sensor, and feature from other mice but of course it is more expensive. And with this G102 price, you'll get a solid mouse with solid performance and with RGB lighting if it's available in your country.  Sorry if my English was bad, but I'm still practicing it to be better. Thank you guys, see you in the next review.
