The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is a great wired gaming mouse designed for FPS games. It's incredibly well-built, with an ergonomic shape better suited for a right-handed palm or claw grip. It has a great number of programmable buttons, including a dedicated sniper button on the side. It delivers exceptional performance with its outstanding click latency and high polling rate for a responsive and smooth gaming experience. Unfortunately, it's on the heavier side, and the rubber-coated cable is a bit stiff. Also, the scroll wheel is pretty basic and doesn't allow for L/R tilt input or infinite scrolling.

Our Verdict

6.5 Office/Multimedia

The Logitech G402 is decent for office use. It's an incredibly well-built mouse and is comfortable to use for long periods. It has a lot of programmable buttons that you can customize through G HUB, which is available for both Windows and macOS. The scroll wheel is mediocre, as it doesn't have L/R tilt input and you can't unlock it for infinite scrolling.

Pros
  • Good ergonomics.
  • Excellent build quality.
  • Fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
Cons
  • Wired-only.
  • Mediocre scroll wheel.
8.2 Video Games (FPS)

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is great for FPS games. It's a well-built mouse that's comfortable to use for long hours. It has outstanding click latency and allows you to adjust the CPI in small increments. There are buttons for on-the-fly CPI switching, as well as a dedicated sniper button. Unfortunately, it's on the heavy side, and there's no weight optimization.

Pros
  • Very low click latency.
  • High polling rate.
  • Good ergonomics.
  • Excellent build quality.
Cons
  • On the heavy side.
  • Slightly stiff cable.
8.2 Video Games (MMO)

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is excellent for MMO games. It has excellent build quality and is comfortable to use for extended periods, which is great for long sessions. It has many programmable buttons, but it might not be enough for some MMO players.

Pros
  • Very low click latency.
  • High polling rate.
  • Good ergonomics.
  • Excellent build quality.
Cons
  • Might not have enough buttons for some MMO players.
5.5 Travel

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is sub-par for portable use. It's a wired-only mouse and is a little bulky, so it takes up a fair amount of bag space. On the upside, it has an excellent build quality and should survive a few tumbles. It has software support for both Windows and macOS, and there's onboard memory to store profiles, so you can access your custom settings even if G HUB isn't installed on your computer.

Pros
  • Good ergonomics.
  • Excellent build quality.
Cons
  • Wired-only.
  • Slightly bulky.
  • 6.5 Office/Multimedia
  • 8.2 Video Games (FPS)

Compared To Other Mice

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury FPS gaming mouse is a great budget option. It has exceptional performance, but it's slightly bulky and might be too heavy for some people.

For more options, check out our recommendations for the best gaming mouse, the best FPS mouse, and the best wired mouse.

Logitech G502 HERO

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury and the Logitech G502 HERO are very similar. The G402 has lower click latency, a more consistent sensor, and it's lighter. On the other hand, the G502 has a shorter lift-off distance, more programmable buttons, and the scroll wheel has L/R tilt and free scrolling.

Razer DeathAdder Essential

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury and the Razer DeathAdder Essential are wired gaming mice. The Logitech has onboard memory, its companion software is available on macOS, and it has more programmable buttons. Also, it has a more precisely adjustable CPI, a more consistent sensor, and much lower latency. However, the Razer's CPI range is wider.

Razer DeathAdder V2

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is better than the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury. The Razer is lighter, more comfortable to use, and has a wider sensitivity range. However, the Logitech has better build quality and software support for macOS.

Razer DeathAdder Elite

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is better than the Razer DeathAdder Elite. The Logitech has a better build quality, lower click latency, and Logitech's G HUB works with both Windows and macOS. However, the Razer is lighter, more comfortable to use, and you can adjust the sensitivity in smaller increments.

SteelSeries Rival 310

The SteelSeries Rival 310 is slightly better than the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury. The SteelSeries is lighter, more comfortable to use, and has a wider CPI range. However, the Logitech has lower click latency, a more consistent sensor, and its CPI can be adjusted in smaller increments.

Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury and the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum are visually similar wired gaming mice with a few noteworthy differences. The G402 is lighter and has better click latency. On the other hand, the G502 has a wider CPI range and a mouse wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilt buttons. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types for larger hands, but if you have small hands and prefer a palm grip, you'll likely find the G402  more comfortable.

Corsair M65 RGB Elite

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury and the Corsair M65 RGB Elite are similar in that they're both mice designed for FPS games with a dedicated sniper button. However, the Corsair is better overall, as it's lighter, more comfortable to use, and its CPI can be adjusted in increments of 1. The Logitech has lower click latency, though, and its cable isn't as stiff.

Overall, the GLORIOUS Model D is better than the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury. The GLORIOUS is much lighter, a lot more comfortable to use, and it has a higher-quality cable that doesn't get in the way. On the flip side, the Logitech has a better build quality, lower click latency, and its customization software is compatible with macOS.

Razer Atheris

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is better than the Razer Atheris; however, they're very different mice. The Logitech is a wired-only mouse, while the Razer is wireless. The Logitech is lighter, more comfortable, and has better build quality. It also has lower click latency, a more consistent sensor, and you can adjust its CPI in smaller increments. The Razer is more portable and better suited for a fingertip grip.

Also, it has a more precisely adjustable CPI, a slightly more consistent sensor, and much lower latency. On the other hand, the Nixeus has a wider CPI range, and its shape accommodates smaller hand sizes more than the Logitech's.

HK Gaming Mira-M

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is an excellent versatile gaming mouse, while the HK Gaming Mira-M is an excellent lightweight gaming mouse. The Logitech feels sturdier and has a thumb rest. It has two additional programmable buttons, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and you can set a G-Shift button, which enables a secondary layer of controls. It also has significantly lower click latency and software compatible with Windows and macOS, while the HK Gaming only has software compatible with Windows.

Build Quality

The build quality is excellent. It's a mix of matte and glossy plastic, and it feels solid, with no signs of rattling or squeaking. The sides and the scroll wheel have a latex coating that feels very grippy, allowing you to have greater control. The PTFE feet are of good quality and allow the mouse to glide smoothly. Lastly, the buttons are clicky and satisfying.

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury has many buttons, all of which are programmable. The two buttons located next to the left click are the default buttons for on-the-fly CPI switching, but they're programmable if you want to use them for other functions. The button located below the three LED lights is the sniper button, which lets you activate a custom low CPI setting for as long as you hold the button down, so you don't have to change the CPI setting just to perform a few precision shots. There isn't a default button for profile switching; however, you can always remap one of the buttons.

Logitech's G HUB software has a clean and easy-to-use interface. It allows you to adjust the mouse's performance settings, remap buttons, and create profiles. It does allow you to customize the LED lighting, but since it's limited to a single color, you can only apply a 'breathing' lighting effect. Profiles are saved per application, and there's onboard memory to store profiles, so you can access your custom settings when playing on a computer that doesn't have G HUB installed. While there were no problems with the software during testing, many users online have reported issues with Logitech's G HUB software, including but not limited to startup issues, freezing, and connection issues with some devices. If you'd like to share your experience using Logitech G HUB with this mouse, feel free to leave a comment in the discussions.
