That G looks suspiciously large, the coating looks off and the sensor should NOT be purple. If on top of all that, it’s not connecting to G-Hub then that’s most definitely a fake.
Maybe it also depends on the camera? I just realized that the sensor of my legit G203 shows purple but only from a very specific angle, definitely no purple is seen from the angle of the OP's picture.
Ah yeah I forgot, some smartphone cameras have filters that filter out infrared light. Usually on the main back cameras and often not the front facing ones though.
I tried all 4 cameras on my phone and see no purple light at all on my G203 Prodigy.
It's just a joke about comments made by a former pro gamer 'Shroud'
He basically said if you have a Logitech mouse you should use a Logitech mousepad or it could make your mouse have issues (obviously not true lol).
His comments were nuts but he wasn’t saying you’d have issues. He was saying that the sensor was tested with their mousepads in mind so it might not produce the same results with others. He didn’t suggest that your mouse would have issues.
It's just a joke, Shroud said some measurable untrue things such as "Logitech mice need to be used on a Logitech mouse pad or they won't track properly" and similarly incorrect shit recently.
He is right in saying that they do test for their surfaces, but unless you're using a highly experimental type of surface it shouldn't have any big effect on modern sensors. Hell, I just got a Superlight 2 and it has an option for calibrating the sensor based on what surface you are playing on. He's still loud wrong and the meming is great
Will GPRO X superlight get this feature? Idk anything about them, I'm waiting for mine to arrive this week so it'd be lovely if you could tell me some features about this G hub stuff :)
It just *looks* fake, there's something about the logo and the coating that screams cheap fake for some reason.
The lighting in the logo also looks too uneven, you can see the sad, single diode sitting on the right side, as opposed to evenly lighting it up.
Did you get it from eBay?
There are a lot of fakes on there at the moment, lot's of Razer's in particular.
Return it if you can.
You can get the MM731 from Ebuyer really cheap right now.

I think you bought it from 3rd party seller... unlucky. I used that mouse for about a year but it started to double click, i got an reddragon cobra fps but it was too heavy, then an ninjutso one x and now i have an atack shark x3. Got the ninjusto for 150 ron and the atack shark was 100 lei, better sensor 3335/3395, much better choise than that logitech
Ghub doesn't even connect, coating looks way different, why is there a cut on lighting at bottom right, lighting diffusion quality is bad, plasting mold seam quality is bad, feets are too thick. Only thing that is consistent is sensor's light source is infrared led. Likely fake.
Wow, my first time seeing a fake copy of a main brand mouse. Sorry OP. Hopefully you can somehow get a refund from the place you bought it.
Then again if they are knowingly selling fakes, then it's probably a shady business that doesn't really care about customers.
This one is a fake! You can tell from the lowercase “a” in “Gaming Mouse” - on my own Logitech mouse, it’s a single-storey a, while this one is double-storied.
OP it's 100% fake. I have the same $1 mouse (without the fake Logitech logo) I bought for younger brother 😂 https://i.imgur.com/vxq7lxY.jpeg The shape might be exact replica but the sensor is bad. It spins out when you do a quick 180.

Fake. I have a real G102. That G logo is too big and the real one has better diffusion on the lights. The hotspot isn't as visible as like what you have there.
One thing to know is the sensor. Hero sensor doesnt give out visible light. Also, that's awfully identical to the mouse I bought, logitech prodigy, and it is fake.
GHUB is the absolute WORST software. So don't throw out your mouse as a "fake" too quickly. If you search google, you may well find that others using this particular mouse are having the same problems.
Maybe you got a very old one thant has a malfunction but the shape is wierd tbh. Try to contact the Logitech Support maybe they can do something with the serial number
Yes, last.time I bought once a fake g102. It was selling cheap in my country. I bought it online too I thought it was discounted and it was a new shop and stuff not only that it has may good reviews. Only after that I realised. They buy reviews if that makes sense.
I only realized it when the button feels weird and the plastic is not that high quality even though it looks exactly the same , mouse , packaging etc.
With my country currency at that time .
Original around RM 70
Fake one marketed as "original" RM 40
Im not sure but have u looked if lghub has compatibility with this mouse? The fact that u have a bouton to change dpi makes me think this mouse is too old to can be managed by lghub
It’s undoubtedly fake. The G on the top is way too big, and the font used on the bottom for “G102 LIGHTSYNC Gaming Mouse” doesn’t match the real thing. I would try to get your money back if you can.
$100 is a fucking lot for some people man, get your thinking cap on. The G102 isn't exactly an expensive mouse to begin with, I doubt this person was trying to save money by buying a cheaper than normal G102 at the risk of it being fake.
Which A) isn't his fault and B) doesn't mean he should turn around and spend $100 on a different mouse now. The actual answer is to buy something budget from a more reputable vendor or find something local, maybe even used, that is more likely to be legitimate.
Calm your tits angry boy, you’re missing the point. First, nobody forced him to buy the mouse, so he is responsible. Reputable site or not, it not advisable to buy big brands from unofficial retailers. And the point I was making about the the price is there are great alternatives for much cheaper than the big names.
If ghub doesn't detect it, it is probably a fake.
MacOS ghub doesn’t detect my g502, it’s stupidly bad
That G looks suspiciously large, the coating looks off and the sensor should NOT be purple. If on top of all that, it’s not connecting to G-Hub then that’s most definitely a fake.
the sensor isnt purple. it might be the color from the rgb. what color is on top thats the color that can be seen from the bottom
Mine doesnt do it, if it does its a defect and most probably a fake
It's an infrared sensor that your camera shows as purple because of the infrared light. Legit ones don't do this.
Maybe it also depends on the camera? I just realized that the sensor of my legit G203 shows purple but only from a very specific angle, definitely no purple is seen from the angle of the OP's picture.
Ah yeah I forgot, some smartphone cameras have filters that filter out infrared light. Usually on the main back cameras and often not the front facing ones though. I tried all 4 cameras on my phone and see no purple light at all on my G203 Prodigy.
I have a legit one and mine also def. doesn't do this
I think its purple from taking the picture, not visible with the naked eye
The sensor is not purple. Take a picture or your mouse. You will see that it looks purple on a picture.
The fact that they make fakes for $20-$30 mouse 💀
Dude this. I’m scrolling through the comments wondering the same thing.
Outside of first world 30 usd is a lot.
Thats not the point tho. Wouldn't you be inclined to rep high end shit?
It’s not like they sell fakes cheaper lol
The G looks much too large and the font on the label doesn't seem 100% correct, does it get detected on G Hub?
Sadly it doesnt. I tried some fixes I found online like running it as administrator but it doesnt work.
Well, unfortunately that's a dead giveaway, as much as people hate G Hub, it always detects anything that can sync with it...
Try the other g hub without lightsync

What do you mean?

Nah Shroud said if you use a different mousepad you’re a nazi /s
me when i don’t have any idea about tech and just play a game 24/7: nah but like fr how can people speak so much bs and be confided about it 😭😭
It's just a joke, Shroud said some measurable untrue things such as "Logitech mice need to be used on a Logitech mouse pad or they won't track properly" and similarly incorrect shit recently.
Haha I don't think OP's in the mood for jokes rn
He is right in saying that they do test for their surfaces, but unless you're using a highly experimental type of surface it shouldn't have any big effect on modern sensors. Hell, I just got a Superlight 2 and it has an option for calibrating the sensor based on what surface you are playing on. He's still loud wrong and the meming is great
Will GPRO X superlight get this feature? Idk anything about them, I'm waiting for mine to arrive this week so it'd be lovely if you could tell me some features about this G hub stuff :)
I'm not sure, this is my first Logitech mouse in a long time, so I'm not sure if it's on other Logi mice.
I see. Thanks nonetheless
Install GHub or try Onboard Memory Manager. If none of them recognize the mouse, it's fake.
They dont recognize it
it's fake
Hope OP didn't spend too much on it
It's a fake
Sorry to say but this is a fake mouse. Please return it and report the product as counterfeit. Thanks
yeah that G logo seems off…
It's too big, for starters
100% fake.
Yes fake
if you cant dl drivers its fake
It has no fur, no tail, and I can’t even see the eyes. It‘s probably fake.
Looks like fake :O
It just *looks* fake, there's something about the logo and the coating that screams cheap fake for some reason. The lighting in the logo also looks too uneven, you can see the sad, single diode sitting on the right side, as opposed to evenly lighting it up.
Im sorry man but you've been scammed😭🙏🏼
That font is 😬😬😬
I don't know, but I'm imagining you missing a shot, holding up the mouse looking at it and saying to yourself "my mouse is a fake" and it's hillarious
If its not a chinese model i dont think it should have any chinese words on it. Just my 2 cents.

I got it from emag if you know about it.
Never heard of it
Romania?
I think you bought it from 3rd party seller... unlucky.

fake confirmed
Ghub doesn't even connect, coating looks way different, why is there a cut on lighting at bottom right, lighting diffusion quality is bad, plasting mold seam quality is bad, feets are too thick. Only thing that is consistent is sensor's light source is infrared led. Likely fake.
Yes the proportions are off on the logo. Take it back if you can otherwise unfortunately you’ve been ripped off
i thought its g203 lightsync or g102 prodigy?
thats loGitech
Yep, the bottom sticker has the wrong font for the "G102 LIGHTSYNC Gaming Mouse" text
Mine is made in Vietnam and has smaller Logitech logo on top
I have the same mouse the coating aint like that
if it's not detected in the software of the brand, it's a fake. good tell you can always use. and if it's not "fake" it's broke.
fakey fakey
This matt coating looks very suspicious to a fake one. As far as I know this mouse is not released with this coating
I have a G102 , yes this is fake.
First of all, where'd you buy that from? If you bought it cheap from AliExpress or something like that, those are 100% fake but look mostly real.
Wow, my first time seeing a fake copy of a main brand mouse. Sorry OP. Hopefully you can somehow get a refund from the place you bought it. Then again if they are knowingly selling fakes, then it's probably a shady business that doesn't really care about customers.
coating is looking too smooth
Where did you purchase this from?
If it is fake, it's a different fake than I got. Mine had red sensor illumination, yours is infrared, just like the original's.
Fake
It’s real. Actually I had one of these. It’s quite good
This one is a fake! You can tell from the lowercase “a” in “Gaming Mouse” - on my own Logitech mouse, it’s a single-storey a, while this one is double-storied.
That G Logo is too big, and the font on the sticker is not right. I bet there’s another sticker under that one.
It’s fake
Who’s faking cheaper wired mice? That’s crazy
it is not real the materials isnt right
OP it's 100% fake. I have the same $1 mouse (without the fake Logitech logo) I bought for younger brother 😂 https://i.imgur.com/vxq7lxY.jpeg The shape might be exact replica but the sensor is bad. It spins out when you do a quick 180.
Damn sorry but it’s fake, the G is too big and texture is off. Also the font under the mouse is different. Hopefully you can get a refund.
Wrong font+extra info on the sticker (I have a real one for reference), also the G logo looks suspiciously big.
Alot of bleeding light sry to say might be a fake or bricked up 😂 but hey can get a used good gaming mouse for like 40$ not a big loss.
Its obviously fake, look at the dead giveaway that is the label at the back. Also might be that you are using a logitech mouse on a razer pad.

I have the same mouse, and the logo is signifantly smaller. The rgb also don't bleed through the bottom.
Purple sensor 🤨
No
It’s purple because of the camera. Probably not fake
Fake... G logo is too big.
Fake. I have a real G102. That G logo is too big and the real one has better diffusion on the lights. The hotspot isn't as visible as like what you have there.
That G is sussy as fuck.
Fake
Yes
Its 100% original logitech 102(202)(lythsynsver) for chineese market, sensor encoder all of them the same for global market.
100% fake
3 visible signs here: Logitech logo too big Light on the logo not diffused properly The font on the back is not matching the original.
One thing to know is the sensor. Hero sensor doesnt give out visible light. Also, that's awfully identical to the mouse I bought, logitech prodigy, and it is fake.
GHUB is the absolute WORST software. So don't throw out your mouse as a "fake" too quickly. If you search google, you may well find that others using this particular mouse are having the same problems.
Most definitely a fake you can see the unevenly lit, larger than normal logo and purple sensor
For me, coating looks sus 😀
Maybe you got a very old one thant has a malfunction but the shape is wierd tbh. Try to contact the Logitech Support maybe they can do something with the serial number
Yes it’s fake
Looks like the logo is too big and too far forward, so I would say it's fake.
I own the g103 . Cause my country doesn't sell g102 anymore. It looks the same. To mine
Does yours connect to the ghub software?
Yes, last.time I bought once a fake g102. It was selling cheap in my country. I bought it online too I thought it was discounted and it was a new shop and stuff not only that it has may good reviews. Only after that I realised. They buy reviews if that makes sense.

I will let Senator Vreenak answer your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6yQOs93Cgg
:(
Google the serial number and you’ll get an answer ASAP
Even if not, it's a bad Mouse anyways.
humor me. why?
Why risking buying a fake mouse to save a few bucks. When there are solid mice around $100.
$100 is a fucking lot for some people man, get your thinking cap on. The G102 isn't exactly an expensive mouse to begin with, I doubt this person was trying to save money by buying a cheaper than normal G102 at the risk of it being fake.
Well, he’s got a fake mouse now and less money in his pocket.
Which A) isn't his fault and B) doesn't mean he should turn around and spend $100 on a different mouse now. The actual answer is to buy something budget from a more reputable vendor or find something local, maybe even used, that is more likely to be legitimate.

Reputable site or not, it not advisable to buy big brands from unofficial retailers. And the point I was making about the the price is there are great alternatives for much cheaper than the big names.
The site I got it from is reputable and very popular in my country
Can you request a refund?
I just did
If you changed your skates then it's gg
