I know some of their hardware also sucks for the people saying that. I’ve had a share of crappy logitech stuff that kind of pissed me off. But, I love my MX master 3. I use it for work, it is so fun to wind your finger up and scroll downward on whatever long winded scroll able item you may happen upon. I had it for 2.5 years, it’s still trucking, I feel like I only charged it 4 times. It’s truly awesome.
I mostly love mine.
I hate that I had to get IT to download special logitech software to my workstation so I could make the horizontal scroll not be backwards.
I had to resolder the switches on my G Pro Wireless. I absolutely love the mouse but they use pretty much the cheapest Omron switches they can, unless that’s changed recently.
Was surprisingly not terrible to take apart and reassemble but you do have to pull off the adhesive-applied low-friction sliders at the bottom, so I would recommend buying replacement ones if you find yourself in that situation. Doesn’t help that I also had a $150 mousepad that goes with it that’s proprietary to specific Logitech gaming mice.
For what it’s worth I only did it because I absolutely love the mouse and setup; I love the design and weight plus the convenience of a low-latency wireless mouse that literally never runs out of battery.
I’m still using the same G502 from like 10 years ago. lol
i wish i could buy another…
5 year old G604 for me! (I like extra buttons)
This seems to be the case for electronics from European brands in general.
I just want their MX keys and MX mouse to fucking switch computers together when you press the button on the keyboard. I don’t know why that’s so much to ask but apparently it is.
G Hub ist the single most terrible software I have ever used. I mean, it feels like a prank to use it.
Aside from certain mice, office keyboards and video conferencing stuff, Logitech is trash. Especially when it comes to flight sim and simracing hardware.
Their conferencing equipment is great. I work in that industry and I’m always happy to see Logitech specced over Cisco/crestron
Our office uses the MX 3S combo and I hated the mouse at first but now I really like it for CAD work. I just emailed our rep this morning to see if I could get a discount for my WFH setup (my boss said they might just send me a free one if I ask lol)
I loved my G35/G500 a decade ago but I have no interest in Logitech for my personal system anymore. Their “gaming” hardware blows nowadays
Also - their office peripheral software (Options+) is pretty good. You can configure your stuff and then uninstall it as it’s saved to the onboard memory
Worst part is that even though there’s a web app version it still requires windows to work
Yeah, same as Steelseries, Razer, etc. why do I need to install a video capture and social sharing program just to get chat mix feature to work with my headset? I haven’t had a Logitech gaming device in a bit, but it was bad when I did, probably worse now.
Both suck.
Had TWO G413 keyboard where the E-key just stopped registering keypresses sometimes. Third one got the same issue on left ctrl… returned and got a custom keyboard lmao.
I also had a G Pro X Superlight whatever and it took only 4 months to develop double clicking and super weird tracking issues like stuttery cursor movement and sometimes just stopping to work unless I restarted or re-plugged the mouse. Recently got a Lamzu Thorn. Easily the best mouse I have ever had, can recommend over Logitech’s garbage
you didnt consider swapping out the g pro superlight pcb to a hotswap board? the mouse is popular enough that the pcb actually exists in the aftermarket for it.
nah I had still warranty left, just sold the one I got back from RMA. Done govong Logitech my moneyy, I got a much better mouse now :)
G Hub is so incredibly bloated that the load time is in the same tier as MS Teams, the new Steam, Windows, and Cities Skylines II. It’s also incredibly unreliable, working less often than other notoriously unreliable apps such as Outlook.
I’ve been reporting this bug for years.
Still not fixed. I’ve made several support reps try this and had their mice lose the ability to left click or leave g-shift mode, as I’ve walked them through duplicating the issue, and yet.
Every Logitech mouse I’ve owned has failed mechanically.
I wrote them off after the middle click button failed on me on two separate Logitech mice (a G502 and G602). I’ve had better luck with cheap generic chinese gaming mice, so that’s what I use now.
Ugh, my 602 middle click is starting to go out at work. I have a 604 at home and it’s just not the same
I was going to say this. OP has never had to suffer through every mouse click registering either twice or none at all. Only on Logitech.
Seems like they either have inconsistent quality or it went down over time. My 6-7 years old g502 is from a mechanical standpoint in perfect shape, I’ve just worn out the rubber sides and had to replace its feet once. I’d even say it’s seeing fairly heavy use considering I use it for both work and gaming.
Are there any hardware manufacturers who write good software?
It depends what you call good, but Apple software is usually good, if you agree with their overall approach and philosophy of walled garden.
People always say this but I find their software really annoying to use.
Which is their philosophy that you have problems with.
In terms of hardware: The Apple trackpad is fucking amazing. The Apple Magic Mouse is just fucked.
The Apple mouse is one of the most infuriating pieces of technology I have ever used.
You’re referring to hardware here.
I haven’t used any Logitech gear in a few years, so things may have changed, but after running iCUE…Logitech can’t possibly be that bad, right?
iCUE would stop my webpages from loading for the longest time, and i had no idea why. I tried so many other things and never even considered iCUE to be the culprit of my extremely slow web surfing.
it wasn’t until a friend suggested I delete iCUE that my computer began running like brand new… it was literally a night and day experience. there’s no point to my story, other than echoing how horrible iCUE is
Logitech’s software is at least better than Razer’s. Although it’s not a high bar.
Razer angers me. I have a keyboard i bought in 2013 that has features like programmable keys and macros locked behind an online service i refuse to sign up for. Ridiculous. I don’t get to use the things i bought it for. To its credit it though the hardware is solid, and my keyboard refuses to die so i still have it, the perfectly working and unworn keycaps mocking my cheap nature who refuses to spend money when my current keyboard works.
At this rate ill have to gift it to my nephew when he gets old enough for me to finally have an excuse to get a new one. Goddamnit Razer
Even their hardware is suffering.
I moved to a knockoff trackball (Nulea) that’s considerably better so far, simply because I went through two trackballs in three years.
Yeah, I used to have a pair of logitech G35 headphones and they were the best headphones I’ve ever had. When they eventually broke I replaced them with the newer G635 and they’re so much worse. I can’t even use the buttons on them because they don’t send any keycode at all before being initialized by the software which is windows only
Was it the switches on the right/left mouse button? That’s usually my failure point.
Mouse wheel on one, power failure on the other. The second one my cats kept knocking to the floor so I can’t really blame Logitech on that one but with the Nulea one it really hit home that Logitech doesn’t refine their designs any longer.
With my G604, the rubber sheet on top of the mouse comes loose after 2 years or so. Started again yesterday. Once it starts to disintegrate, I’ll just leave Logitech behind for good.
I have been using the MX Ergo trackball for years and it is very reliable.
