Google is the only brand I know of where people go out of their way to own the hardware but do everything in their power to avoid the software.

Wait, no. Razor... Razor exists. NO ONE'S MOUSE NEEDS A DAILY DRIVER UPDATE!

Fuck Razor mice. They can't do a mouse wheel right without it slipping backwards when scrolling. Garbage.

Their earbuds are good tho. So far.

Whats a good alternative to Razor? The wheel is slipping on my DeathAdder.

That's the model that the mouse wheel kept slipping.

Anything really I'm using some brand that has a ship as a logo that I got for like $5 clearance from Walmart that's been pretty good. Not super fancy but has all 5 buttons and a button for quick change of sensitivity (which I've never got used to, I grew up on Ball nice, I have to remind myself that I got side buttons).

I got a basic 3-button black HP mouse that I've used for many years of continuous use and dropping and I've never had a problem

It's not like that in all areas. It's the exact opposite for their phones. Pixels are trash quality hardware with great software.

Google is just a massive disappointment in 2023...

That doesn't quite line up when you consider how popular it is to buy a Pixel just to flash GrapheneOS on it.
