As far as I’m concerned, printing your name in a weird font doesn’t even qualify as a logo.
The leftmost one is good - and the full-colour version of it was pretty cool, back in the day.
The middle one is bland, except for the “g” which is dumb.
The right one is stupid, and keeps the dumb g.
Garbage. The graphic designers need to give their heads a shake.
sadly I’m not gonna buy Logitech mice anymore until they finally fix the damn double click problem that happens after a year of ownership.
On a side note, anyone have any sub 50 dollar mouse recommendations?
I use Logitech M570 trackballs, and sometimes the left mouse button starts to misbehave…so I take it apart, desolder the switch, solder in a new one and it’s fixed. Problem seems to be the microswitches wear out. Why replace a $35 mouse when i could replace a $0.40 switch?
I suppose you’re asking rhetorically, but I’m gonna blunder though this rant anyway. I applaud your frugality and self reliance though.
Avoiding the hassle of disassembling delicate plastics parts, reassembling a potentially complicated and finicky device, and soldering (and resoldering) a small switch on a small PCB or wire correctly and safely is worth at least $34 to 99% of the market. Hell, I’m confident I could do it (badly) and have (admittedly the cheapest version of) the necessary tools, but finding the correct replacement switch still isn’t worth the hassle (to me) if mine were to break.
Love my M570, btw. I abuse it on a daily basis with excessive clicks, but so far the worst I’ve had to do was clean some lint out of it. If it were a $70 device instead of a $35 device, I might feel differently. But at that, price point I’d probably expect better and replace it with a different brand.
I’ve got 4 or 5 M570s, and most of them have had a switch replacement. I’m several kinds of mechanic and several kinds of electronics hobbyist, so I have the tools and skills, soldering a microswitch is child’s play to me.
I fix a lot of stuff, rescued my father’s old coffee pit from tue dumpster. Why chuck a perfectly good machine over a clogged bubble pump? Fixed a random orbital sander by pulling it apart and giving it a good scrub. Hurts my head thinking of all the peefectly goos things people throw away over easy fixes.
Yes, my Logitech mouse, which is great it every other regard, had the left button give out after about of year of very heavy use (StarCraft, not that my APM is that high). With the addition of some superglue and a piece of plastic I’ve been using it for 4 more years, still going strong.
Exactly. It’s an easy fix. I haven’t had a mouse break in the last 10 years. The coatings start falling off before the clicks are a problem any more.
Does this also work for the side buttons?
One of mine started double clicking on my G502 🥲
Logitech M510, the most recent two are 2020 and 2022. The first is probably circa 2012
I’m a Logitech M720 man myself. I’ve bought at least three over the last few years. They seem to stop working within two years.
G502 here. I only had to replace it once due to me spilling Guinness all over the poor thing!
I remember having a Logitech MX5000 laser mouse, Bluetooth version. Thing rocked. Had it so long, used it so much, I literally wore a hole through the plastic on the left button.
I would love to have another one… By the time it gave up the ghost, they had long been discontinued. I was able to get the RF version somewhere, but it fucking sucked! The BT never lagged or disconnected or anything but the RF one was basically unusable. I haven’t even ever found a mouse similar enough that I liked. Nothing has the contour, the weight, and the buttons. I might get 1 of those 3 but not all 3.
