almost every logitech product I've bought in the last 6 years has failed early and while their warranty is honored, having to go through it for basically every item is very frustrating compared to just not having the issues with mouse and keyboard switches.
I think their products are priced on the assumption they have to send you a replacement because the failure rates are so high.
Still looking for good replacements for everything.
- user_7832 3y agoI’m not sure if you’ve also needed up with bad logitech mice but apparently that’s not poor build quality but rather logi choosing to use a reduced voltage, preventing the sensor contacts from properly getting “wetted” leading to eventual rust/oxidation build up. Sandpaper ought to fix it in theory. Still sucks though, not defending logi for the weird decision.
- LegitShady 3y agoya I understand I could get new switches or somehow fix these, but its one of those 'even if they honor the warranty, how many times am I interested in dealing with poorly designed and failing peripherals'. The first time you replace something under warranty you feel good because wow they honored the warranty. The 6th time you realize the products themselves have design flaws and being replaced under warranty is just hassle my life doesn't need, especially at the prices logitech charges for their products. My last remaining logitech product is a g603 I bought for $30 at costco and it will likely be my last logitech product until they can demonstrate they're not building things to fail early anymore.
- pohuing 3y agoTbh I've started seeing their terrible mouse switches as a bonus. It means I get a free replacement every 12-20 months.
- LegitShady 3y agoI'd rather just have one that works and no hassle of RMAs.
