Yeah Logitech Options sucked already, now Options+ is even worse. I switched to BetterMouse on Mac. $12 one time purchase and it’s a lot nicer.
This seems to be the case for electronics from European brands in general.
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.
I’ve always felt this way about HP
HP is a whole new level of being fucking dogshit
The plastic protection adhesive on the 920 series of cameras used to be awful.
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.
Disco. Thanks for clarifying.
The open-source stuff is better.
Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.

this works way better than the official thing.
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.
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.
I literally only use hardware saved profiles to avoid loading their shitty software 24/7
Wish that was an option on the Mx ergo
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.
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 bought an OG MX518, once, because it’s that good and it’s lasted (plzplzplzdontdie).
I installed Setpoint, once, because it’s that bad.
Jumping on the Logitech hardware trashing. Bought two G613 keyboards in the past couple years. Each one failed shortly after the 1 year warranty period. Both had the same double pressing chatter issue. I’ve been avoiding their mice for a while due to double clicking problems.
I liked my G512 so much I bought a second one to use at work but both had issues with keycaps breaking and LEDs dying. And the middle scroll on both my G403 mice had issues after a few months of use.
I’ve had to stop buying Logitech stuff, though I’ve still got a set of Z207 speakers that I like. Now I have a real mechanical keyboard that I can repair and a couple Glorious mice which are mostly okay.
I miss the days of the Logitech MX518 mouse. I had one that I probably used for like 5-6+ years, maybe longer. Solid mouse, no bullshit, indestructible.
Ah I’m facing the double-typing on mine now as well. Though I’ve convinced myself to turn it into a personal project instead. I want to design a replacement PCB for G613 with MX switches.
Sounds like you too got your keyboard wet. I cleaned my G13 Orion once with liquids and practically destroyed it. G502 Hero is top class esp when taking price into consideration.
I’ve owned a G500s G502 and 2 G502 hero in the past 10 years and just got a 502 Hero Lightspeed. God I love it
All are still working
Headphones are absolute trash and die constantly. But their MX Master series? I couldn’t be happier if I tried. Absolute top of the line. Gaming keyboards look the same cheap trash as others, so I wouldn’t wanna try em anyway.
I wouldn’t game fast game with the MX Master, but for productivity work, this is one of the best mouse i’ve used. My hand never gets tired.
