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.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one

AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600

Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer

Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
