Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.
I own 2 of their vertical mouses
There aren't really many alternatives readily available
The hardware has gotten a lot better, but they're really not targeting the high the market anyway
The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA...
The surface is already getting gummy.
I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its "premium material" has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.
I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?
Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.
Google "Logitech mouse double clicking". If you don't get top of the line, good chance you'll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.
I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.
It's hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.
My 2 g502 mice and 3 keyboards in use, one from 2004, beg to differ.
Gonna call bullshit on that one. I've been using the G502 for years and I like the feel of it. I've gone through 3 and keep a spare in box for when it starts to double click. The X has been chugging for a couple of years now, but I've used a lot of mice, I really shouldn't have to spend $80 to get a mouse that lasts more than 6 months.
Still, they absolutely want to force people to a monthly fee.
That's my experience with Razer
The fact they kept selling their flagship mouse with usb micro was appalling. And I think the only reason they moved to usbc was because of the EU. For a $200 mouse 🙄
Wait till you discover their main racing wheel is a 25 year old design that they remove features from and raise the price with every re release. Logi is a shit company. There is 0 reason to buy any of their stuff.
Definitely profits first. I recall they hit the news because some manager said they would consider a mouse subscription service if it was possible.
They fully went on the embargo list after that one.
Oh I did not know it was that bad, i just tought they were overpriced, overhyped normie brand that is popular since it has better packaging than ACME
