I'm just waiting for a different mouse that has both smart shift and a side scroll wheel and I'm probably switching right then and there.

I work retail. Ive recommended logitech products for forever. I like bigger mice because I have bigger hands so I had a G502 X Plus. Came out in August 2022, I bought it in November. When mine was having issues staying connected I only wanted tech support because I thought it may be a software issue not the actual mouse. They asked for the serial number and proceeded to tell me it was 1) Out of warrenty, which is impossible as it has a 2 year warrenty and even if I bought day 1 that is in August this year. And 2) Said that it was a refurbished mouse. I bought it from THEIR amazon store page as a new mouse. They have since not responded to any of my emails asking for help because it is "out of warrenty". I immediately went and replaced all my logitech gear and no longer recommend them to customers.

[@guyinpajamas9818]

Amazon has a habit of shipping refurbished products even though you select "brand new". Easiest way to tell is if you are able to find a white sticker that starts with LPN. This has happened to me several times and I'm glad that sometimes it's very obvious when something, especially tech has been repackaged. I'll find the LPN sticker to confirm my suspicions and immediately start the return process. They usually give me a brand new one on the second attempt, for now.

[@darthioan]

No, it is not. Logitech has been bought by an investment fund in 2021. It takes a few years until the shift becomes clear to the consumer, as old products with a few tweaks are being sold as "new" are being released. As an investment company, you want to maximize profit, while minimizing expenses (this works well for food, agriculture, cars, etc, not so much for "high end" peripherals). This was inevitable, and easily foreseeable for anyone who reads any news, ever. Going forward, Logitech will continue to release "parts bin" products priced as premium, until the investors recoup their money, sell licenses and trademarks, or various divisions are bought by various companies who then churn out various products using the Logitech name (see Philips), or they go bankrupt. The wider context is super important. During the pandemic, sales most likely went up, and based on the really positive but very incorrect forecasts, tons of money would have been invested in the wrong direction, money which now unavailable for fast enough and high quality R&D. As such, churn out old tech which you then try to pass as "current gen", fresh, flagship, etc. Sadly, it takes a long time until this becomes clear in the sales figures. Expect many years of even worse products.

[@Drinkyoghurt]

It feels like Logitech has lost their way. I remember the days of the Logitech G5 mouse, I bought it for 50 euros and it was the best mouse on the market. When it broke after 4 years and I didn't have the receipt they just shipped me a new one and asked for me to return the old one so they can inspect it. They also did this for some speakers I had. Somewhere along the line tho their quality started dropping both on hardware and customer support. I had a G603 (I think) wireless mouse which had double clicking issues despite me not using it much, but after 4 years no warranty (despite it being a well documented issue) and they only offered me a 25% discount on their overpriced store. Also one of their headsets broke at the shitty plastic hinge after just 2 years and I also didn't get any warranty on that. I'm noticing issues with my G pro wireless as well, and it's also out of warranty. I'm super happy with my Drunkdeer A75 hall effect keyboard that cost me 120 euros. Best keyboard I've had hands down, and very comparable to the Wooting (just not the best software). These days I'm not looking at Logitech as a first choice anymore, especially at the premium they're asking for budget gear.

There’s no KEYCAP or SWITCH puller, and for the keyboard modders out there, if you wanted to hotswap it for different keycap, you literally can’t. You can’t switch to any other keycap if you tried. The software looks ridiculously mediocre and boring in my opinion. I gotta say, I have never been a fan of software. Hell, I have an Apex Pro Full from SteelSeries, and holy SHIT, it is annoying. The software has garbage I don’t use, in which the only thing I use is the “Engine” for the custom actuation points (Rapid trigger is included as well). Overall, for Logitech, they are in hot water, and I feel like it will only get worse in my opinion in the future if they keep releasing terrible stuff like this. For the epic of $180, being nearly the price of many high-tier keyboards today like the Wooting and some of its competitors, I find that so BS and hilarious that people would buy a keyboard that probably isn’t worth its high price tag.

Someone had to say it and I'm glad you did. A few years ago, I decided to go with full-setup Logitech peripherals. The keyboard I chose was the G915 in full size. The letters and numbers on the keys started to fade after a few months. For the mouse I went with the G Pro X Superlight which had some issues with the scroll wheel where I would try to scroll down but it would scroll up instead. I received a replacement mouse but it had issues with the clicks. Holding down the clicks for more than 2 seconds will result in them releasing even though I was still holding them. The third replacement was lucky, it only has some wobble but it's acceptable. The headset I bought was the wired G Pro X and after three months the sound in the left side was more pronounced than in the right one, and a week later the sound in the right side completely disappeared. I purchased the G Pro X v2 wireless headset and they make a sound as if something is scratching inside, randomly, like a popping/cracking noise. This was the last product I bought from Logitech.

[@ThrasherEscapes]

i had been using a corsair hs70 wireless headset i bought when i got my first gaming pc a few years ago. when i finally tried to upgrade last year - knowing much more about pc gaming at that point - i tried the g pro x v2, partially for convenience since i was still using logitech m&k. only having to use one piece of software was alluring. however, at 100% volume on *everything* the audio was muffled & surprisingly quiet. yes, firmware/software was up-to-date & g hub was functioning as expected otherwise. returned to place of purchase to swap out & had the same problem with the second unit. returned again for a refund & decided to try the very well-reviewed audeze maxwell headset. sound quality was fantastic on those, but they had a fatal flaw (imo) in which any video, song, or media source i tried would have zero volume for the first few seconds after play/pause with no apparent way to correct it. audeze customer support was arguably the worst i've ever encountered, unfortunately. after weeks of absurd back-and-forth emails, i was finally able to return the maxwell & eventually receive a refund. ended up replacing the battery on the aging corsair unit with a higher-density cell then replaced the ear cushions & am still using it daily. --- filed under "i'm frustrated and this is good enough lol."

this is like the old internet explorer meme logitech are literally 5 years too late with this thing and the 180USD price tag is just sad man, in the pass few years keyboard have change so much, things like rainy, zoom, neo make the fancy custom keyboard become something everyone can afford, wooting completely change what gaming keyboard can be yet this thing is just a RK with 3 time the price

All my hardware was Logitech, and I ran to Corsair, because my mouse buttons always broke after a few months. I think I went through 6 logitech mouses before I realized Logitech isn't premium anymore. Corsair is OK, but regrettably I'm switching to the Wooting Two HE now. The tech is just too good to ignore.

[@ishpeeedy]

custom keyboards are leagues above what these "gaming companies " put out

[@zahidshabir4038]

Corsair has a keyboard with magnetic switches that has variable actuation points and rapid trigger and the ability to map 2 keystrokes to one key for example a light press of the "W" key would make an in game character walk but a harder press would make them run

[@Loved_]

im not spending past $280 for a keyboard. gaming or not

[@PSS395]

Not really. In term of pure gaming competitive-ness Wooting is still on top. The typing feel are trash but you can't argue with the input responsiveness. Custom keyboard are now trying to do hall effect, but their software is more often than not pure junk and their implementation of features like rapid trigger is all over the place. Personally I'll still use a regular contact based custom keyboard for the superior typing feel because I don't need that competitive edge.

[@gamesnic]

@@PSS395 QMK is great software. You can program it without having any application installed on your PC and is an open protocol, so you can as example create your own effects. Between my 200€ Keychron and my 160€ Corsair K70 mk2 there's just no comparison by how much better the keychron feels

[@sak-atWork]

@@PSS395 Wooting sells a custom keyboard kit, you can basically buy just the mobo. I LOVE Wooting but agree that for anything other than gaming it isn't necessarily better than a mechanical switch, but all-in-one wise Wooting is killing it.

[@godzexist]

Another company that's taking the piss out of customers, they can't even add new functions to the already existing keyboards (2023-2024). I'm talking about Snaptap for example, plus the software is gross, and the limitations on the customization of the keyboard keys are a joke. This will be my last Logitech products, G915 and G303. That's it. No more. Until they get their shit together I'm out. Also the SUPERLIGHT stuff (less material being used), but they still overpriced it. They entitle themselves as the NVIDIA of peripherals. But they're not. NVIDIA has no competition (unfortunately).

So, why is Logitech like this now? The old CEO who worked closely with the old head tech executive both left. They were responsible for Logitech's success in the gaming market. Now they have some clueless woman CEO from consumer health and beauty products companies (Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and some drugstore/convenience store corporation Ahold Delhaize). She doesn't know tech and has no clue about gaming. And the old Chief Design Officer, Alastair Curtis, who oversaw the development of the innovation in the gaming market left with the old CEO, and now they have nobody in that role with talent and vision. Clearly.

There were signs a few years earlier. G700 mouse - side buttons breaking, painfully low battery life. G602 - scroll wheel problems. G604 - again side buttons breaking under warranty period, and using cheap chinese omron switches which wear out and start doubleclicking just under two years. And there was K800 keyboard with build quality so bad they glued it on the inside, making simple repair such as cleaning after liquid spills to save the keyboard actually requiring regluing, or you'd have gaping holes in the seams. These are all premium products costing a lot of money. And looking for a replacement for the broken G604, it seems that top tier offerings from corsair and razer also have significant problems which are quality assurance based or engineering flaws. This should be unacceptable, but it seems that the pandemic tanked everything down quality wise. Companies grew bold seeing people will buy crap when pushed against the wall with lack of choice. We're seeing this with other premium brands as well, see the recent ASUS controversy on RMAs which @GamersNexus reported on. Nvidia price-gouging for GPUs. Motherboards cooking CPUs because apparently nobody tests this crap. Bad time to build a PC or buy peripherals for it.

The only switches where you can adjust the trigger point would be hall effect (magnetic). Optical switches are a dead giveaway and usually used in cheaper boards. Not even a good selection of switches for optical imo.

[@matthewzaczeniuk4892]

It's a new layout KZbin was testing out. Premium subscribers got early access so that KZbin could gauge how well people would adapt/like it. The comments and video description were smashed to the side, kinda like you would have on YT Shorts, and if you scrolled down to where the comments would normally be, it looked like the homepage of KZbin with more video recommendations in the grid-like display. Needless to say people didn't respond so well to the layout. I personally wrote a review on their survey saying that while I appreciated the effort, they can fuck off. I like seeing the community over having more videos shoved in my face, if I needed that I'd just go back to the homepage or open a new tab.

[@mahdicloete5343]

My problem is Logitech build quality. I have the g pro tkl keyboard and the keycaps are not PBT so the letters started coming off in less than 2 years of use. The space and caps lock are non-standard so you can't replace them easily either. PBT keycaps are standard on the most budget mechanical keyboards. I also have the g pro lightspeed headset and it too suffers from poor build quality. the mic became flimsy after a few months of use and the headset plastic where the headband joins the earcups started falling apart in less than a year of use. These are premium tiered products with build quality worse than budget.

[@BattousaiHBr]

it took them YEARS to fix the doubleclicking with the new optical switches on their mice. i actually swapped from cherry MX a long time ago to optical (ironically, wooting) because of key chattering, and never had the issue again. now imagine a company as huge as logitech wasting tons of money on RMA every year because of the mechanical switches, and doing nothing for that long when all they had to do is get optical or magnetic actuation switches.

After waiting years for a full size 915 upgrade with USB C and optical keys, they released this new one with USB A, no upgrades and no full size. I finally bought an ASUS ROG Strix Scope II after that a few months ago and been incredibly happy with it. Had all the features I wanted and then some. Such as pre-lubed keys and sound dampening foam. Looks, feels, and sounds amazing. Still no rapid trigger mode yet.

I've quit Logitech products long time ago. Gave them a try at some point when that new fancy gaming mouse was released, returned it immediately because sand-paper like "grip" is about the polar opposite of "good for RSI". Moved on to Sharkoon mice and now its just Razor Basilisk. Got everything and NO "sticky" click-of-death issues AND the famous "free spin" scroll wheel. And well, the last Logitech keyboard I bought was the G710 with MX blue switches, so thats been quite some time ago, too. These days? I'm using a Royal Kludge 98, with a bunch of fancy keycaps and the Box Jade switches waiting to be installed.
