What is this meme? Logitech hardware sucks ass too
Gotta say, I’ve always been blown away by how easy it is to connect Logitech stuff to their little multi-device dongles.
Recently started trying out the Flow feature and I’m a lot less blown away, but the dongle thing is plenty enough for me. I give them a thumbs up.
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.
I have an older G503 mouse that’s still going really strong. Unfortunately I also have a newer G503 mouse and it has the notorious double-clicking with a single click bug. It died within just a few months, it also had shittier components like the non-braided cable.
I’ve switched over to Corsair which is a little better but I miss the super smooth free-spinny scroll wheel that are on the Logitech mice.
As a peripherals enthusiasts (i own a dozen keyboards about 50 mice and have used about two dozen different audio solutions), they’re hardware sucks ass, the only mouse they have that’s kind of worth getting is the gpx (which is hella overpriced), they have no good keyboards or headsets/headphones, their mics and webcams are painfully mediocre
I hope my 10yo MMO mouse will last until i have a damn brain implant to replace it XD
Is it that wow mouse with like a whole 10-key on its side?
The model is called a redragon M901. The only issues i have with it is that the software stopped working years ago so i can’t change the key bindings but i already have the presets i want so i’m fine and the left click broke off and is now held with electrical tape but works perfectly well.
Edit: i saw they still sell that mouse but the new model so i’ll give it a shot!
So who makes a decent mouse now? I desperately want a halfway decent one but can’t quite afford german engineering 😉
How do your hold your mouse?
What is your budget?
Do you prefer ambi or ergo?
What is the distance between your middle finger and the base of your hand and the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your pinkie when your hand is open and relaxed
Thumb on the right (right hand), pinky and ring finger on the other side first and middle finger for the buttons.
I can’t really justify more than $200 but less would be nice.
Ergo I think, logitech and the Razer’s that look like them tend to fit my hands nicely. I’m using a G1 superlight right now and it’s a bit small to be comfortable.
7.75 inches from base to the tip of my middle finger. Pinky to thumb, relaxed but not pressed flat is almost exactly 6 inches.
I’m leaning towards a Logitech MX Master 3S, but I’d love to try something else. Thanks for the detailed questions. I’m looking forward to your suggestion. 
I would recommend the razer deathadder v3 both the wired and wireless versions are great, in my opinion the logitech mx mice are decent mice if rather heavy
Thanks. I’ll give them another look. I can’t remember why I got salty on them… something with the driver needing to be online? But yeah, perfect shape :-)
It’s that aluminum scroll wheel, the original fidget spinner ;-)
I’m happy with Cooler Master MM720.
Thanks, I’m looking at it now. I was a big fan of their cases back in the day, when it was basically just them and Lin Li making aluminum PCs :-)
The shape might feel weird when you look at it but the groove for ring finger is a game changer. Comfy af.
Doesn’t hurt that Amazon has it on sale for $45 either. You ever finis a session an have hexigons printed into you palm? Definitely not a dealbreaker…Maybe it’ll break my death-grip habit :-)
Let’s hope that my mx master lasts then. It’s really comfortable in my hands and since I have arthritis that’s not just a nice to have. Other mice actually hurt my hands.
Today’s Logitech sucks. A decade ago they were the best in the mouse game.
Honestly their mice were pretty good even 3 years ago, it’s just that advancements have happened so fast and logitech has completely neglected to try
I don’t need advancements. I need a new mouse to track as well as a 10 year old mouse and register a single click when I click.
I wouldn’t even need a new mouse but 10 years ago both Logitech and MS put soft touch coating on their mouses which turns to glue as it ages.
May may i interest you in a pulsar x2?
Maybe a G305?
The old G502s have treated me well. I bought several on sale many years ago so I’d have a lifetime supply just to avoid the inevitable downward spiral in quality.
G Hub ist the single most terrible software I have ever used. I mean, it feels like a prank to use it.
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.
Are there any hardware manufacturers who write good software?
VKB. Their configuration software is intimidating at first glance (and you better RTFM!), but it’s super powerful and allows you to change and tune absolutely everything. Plus the settings are stored in the device so you only need to run the configurator when you want to change something. This is what you get when engineers run the company, not marketing, and they respect the end user’s intelligence.
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
It depends what you call good, but Apple software is usually good, if you agree with their overall approach and philosophy of walled garden.
In terms of hardware: The Apple trackpad is fucking amazing. The Apple Magic Mouse is just fucked.
People always say this but I find their software really annoying to use.
Which is their philosophy that you have problems with.
The Apple mouse is one of the most infuriating pieces of technology I have ever used.
You’re referring to hardware here.
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.
Every Logitech mouse I’ve owned has failed mechanically.
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.
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
Logitech hardware used to be the best. I can’t remember what I was called offhand but years ago I had a wireless Logitech mouse that came with a little transceiver/charging cradle. I think I used it for ten years. By the time one of the switches died, I’d completely worn its little rubber feet off. It was fantastic.
Other, later Logitech purchases didn’t hold up at all. Went through a couple headsets (the behind the head kind) and they each fell apart in a year or two.
I did go with a G502X for my current mouse simply because I couldn’t find anything I liked better, but I have no illusions about how long this one will last.
Yeah I don’t buy Logitech anymore after my mouse died and had to be replaced by them twice. They died at around a year each, for different issues.
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
That should either be reversed, or the bottom equalized…
I literally only use hardware saved profiles to avoid loading their shitty software 24/7
Wish that was an option on the Mx ergo
Worst part is that even though there’s a web app version it still requires windows to work
