Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury review

The gaming peripherals market has undergone a sharp increase in volume in recent years. Moreover, with the spread of professional leagues dedicated to gamers and with the arrival of important sponsors ready to spend big money, this phenomenon is destined to grow evermore. The advantages of using mice and keyboards developed specifically for gamers are not easily quantifiable, even if the use of ad hoc equipment allows greater customization of your playstyle.

Logitech, a company that has been operating in the field of PC peripherals for several years, has long understood the profitability of this type of product, creating models for every price range, able to satisfy every audience. One such device is the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury (Check on Amazon.com), according to Logitech, the fastest mouse ever built.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – Weight and size

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury’s profile is much softer on the sides than other high-end models. It is ergonomic enough, but those with bigger hands may prefer the G502 which is a bit larger. It also has a very low weight of 108g, if you exclude the cable. Among the high-end Logitech mice, this is definitely one of the lightest.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – Sensitivity and polling rate

Performance is respectable: the DPI is adjustable with the push of a button from a minimum of 250 DPI up to a maximum of 4000 DPI. Unlike the G502 (Check on Amazon.com), the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury has a much lower maximum DPI, but there is a reason. This mouse uses the Fusion Engine, a particular technology that dramatically increases the tracking speed (it can trace up to 500 inches per second without loss of quality). The polling rate is identical to its high-end siblings, at 1000Hertz, but the presence of the Fusion Engine multiplies this factor making the Hyperion Fury one of the fastest mice ever built. The tracking speed can reach 500 IPS and above, a record for a mouse in this price range, and this kind of performance is also guaranteed by the presence of an optical sensor equipped with Logitech Delta Zero technology.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – Programmable keys

There are 8 programmable keys via the Logitech Gaming Software. This seems the right compromise between the two opposites. This makes the mouse suitable for all kinds of games including MOBAs and MMOs.

Thanks to the built-in memory you can assign a profile to a specific application on your PC, so that once you launch the desired game, the mouse will be ready and waiting, without the need for you to load each time the desired preset.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – Use

In everyday use, this mouse has proved reliable in every situation, thanks to the high level of customization, which makes it a great mouse for productivity. It is during gaming sessions, however, that you can observe the real merits of this device, which has proved that it can handle each and every game with relative ease.

During World of Tanks sessions, the mouse behaved flawlessly, allowing you to easily target and switch between DPIs according to your situation and personal tastes. The accuracy has been excellent thanks to the great sensor. We also tested the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury with Battlefield 4, which features more frantic gameplay. Again, the mouse delivered a solid performance, thanks to lightning-fast response times. The convenient Sniper button lowered the DPI during sniping sessions, ensuring even more accurate targeting.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – Verdict

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury turned out to be a worthy companion both during gaming sessions and everyday use, thanks to good ergonomics, a well-balanced center of gravity and lightning-fast response times. Ultimately, the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is a gaming mouse that relies on substance and solid performance. In an industry where the most expensive models can easily cost up to €100, the price of this G402 (Check on Amazon.com) is a bargain, making this the best mid-range gaming mouse.
