    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.

    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

    I use logitech and corsair and razer hardware just fine without the software installed at all. I don’t need any of those fancy features except maybe run it once to set the color I want.

    Their “Onboard memory manager” software for their mouses is actually pretty good. It’s only 10MB in size and doesn’t require any installation. The only downside is that I had to “enable” the onboard memory of my mouse by first installing their usual crap software.

      I’ve never understood that. What’s the benefit? Is it for switching between multiple computers and not losing your settings?

        Yes. And I think some high end mouses can store multiple preset settings in memory to switch on the fly without requiring any software. Moreover, there are some scenarios in which you can’t install any software, in an office-issued computer or in a eSports tournament computer.

    I had a really great experience with Logitech support several years ago that made me feel good about buying their stuff. But, in the years since then, my mouse randomly changing DPI all the time and my headset microphone randomly getting stuck on mute have worn me down.

    MX Ergo, customization via logi software. My mouse can’t decide if it’s fast or slow, or which direction to scroll. It’s just like, why not both?

    Thankfully I realized just how bad it was before the return window closed.

      Why does the mx ergo need software running? I’ve had it for two years with nothing installed and it works perfectly.

    Worst part is that even though there’s a web app version it still requires windows to work

    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 bro. This is Corsair.

    I literally got rid of a fucking awesome Corsair mouse because the software was such utter dogshit. It would straight up crash during games. And my wife had exactly the same problems on her PC, so it wasn’t anything unique to my set up. My mouse was wireless, hers was wired, both absolutely sucked. The hardware was great, but the software absolutely ruined them.

    Logitech software is fine. Not perfect, but it absolutely does the job.

    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.

      Agreed, MX master plus logiops is gold on linux, 6+ years on my 2 (bit ugly now but still works great) and now a 3, no complaints.
