I know what you're thinking, but it's too big. But if you got small hands this isn't the thread for you. You can have your G-Pros and your micos and your abyssus mice, and go sit over there with the rest of the small boys. This thing is thirty five bucks on amazon right now, and the kicker is that for some reason it feels better to me than the 3336. It's not filled with cement like the g502, it won't cut your hand like the 303, it's not way too tall like the g900, and it doesn't have that weird \_/ thing that the G-Pro has. And here's the kicker. Are you ready? No. Braided. Cable.
i wish i liked it as much as you, could never get used to the ring finger area on the right. Somehow the g502 felt a lot comfier even though they are very similar

-Atrociously bad cable
-Loose scroll wheel (and stupid stiff click)
-Inability to turn off super-bright LED (even tho said option is in the software)
-CorsairLatency™
-INTERPOLATED 8000 CPI 3090
Shape was pretty decent, but the mouse as a product was utter fail.
Who designed these side buttons though. I actually want to get to know the Logitech engineers to find out why they have this obsession with sharp edges on their mice.

EDIT: I always forget that in English designer can also mean the engineer, I meant it in the sense of someone with an art degree who designs the look as opposed to someone with an engineering degree designing how it works.

They fired the ergonomics engineer/designer what ever it's called or did not have one to begin with. It's kind of been that way with Logitech for over a decade.
For me G402 > G502 but the shape and size was still meh. If someone can palm it or fingertip it, great, I can't.

Nah, I have no idea. Could be one, could be several, always depending on company approach. I have a master in engineering design, but my field of work has been rather large mechanical construction and automotive more recently. I've seen small parts for cars being designed by several people and a complete press being designed by mainly one guy (with 2 others just doing the drawings) so anything goes. But I might ask next time.

I actually was curious about Logi's approach. I'm reverse engineering G303 shell right now and I kinda start to get a feeling that shell design and innards were designed by different people. I don't know how to explain but... it's just PCB and its mounting are designed not after outside curves but rather with clean design and round numbers in mind (which helps, alot. Thanks to whoever designed the PCB ^)).
I'm using the G402 for a few weeks now and it feels way smaller than my previous G400. Can't really tell if i like the shape more, but the sensor feels a lot more responsive and precise than my G400.
After so many mice with 3360(6) being released, g402 > g502, g303, g400, mx518, finalmouse or rival for me. Best non symetrical shape so far. Still can't get rid of this mouse, no matter what sensor would be in it. At least doesn't grip awkward like on g400 right side! Low weight, not like brick g502, and no braided stuff (ARRRG) all buttons very tactile, what else could you ask!

The problem wasn't the weight nor the grip width for me, it was the ledge on the right side that the other G4xx/G5xx had, it had some weird ridging on the side rather than rubber which the G400(s) had so it was pretty much unliftable for me.
I have small hands. I haven't tried a g402 but I have a g303 and g502 and the G303 has been my favorite mouse for months. I know some complain about the shape being awkward to hold but the way I hold it with my fingertips it fits perfectly. Thumb and pinky griping outside edge and middle three fingers on each button.
The G502 many suggest it is to big for small handed games. Not totally accurate. I can easily grasp and use the G502 due to its thinner design and lower over all profile. A lot of the competing mice may be shorter but they tend to have a huge rear/hump at the back of the mouse. This causes me to twist my hand to try to hold it. The only issue I do have with the G502 is my thumb cannot reach the front buttons on the side. However I have this issue with all mice with side buttons. They are never far enough back for me to press them with my thumb. I can only reach the rear top side button.
I just tried this grip.............. i like it but g100s shape would probably still be better, allot of people sing praises for the g303 until they try a classic
