I’m no longer sure about their quality though. Out of four Logitech mice I bought recently (four different models), two died within a year. At least their warranty repair/replace process was decent.
- carey 3mo agoTheir buttons fail way too easily, but can usually be fixed with some WD-40, CRC 5-56, or any similar thin oil.
- prmoustache 3mo agoWhat do you do to your mouses to make them fail so quickly? Are you throwing them randomly accross the room?
- kay_o 3mo agoThey just fail. Particularly the office mice don't last very long for gaming (orders of magnitude more travel and clicks)
- bigstrat2003 3mo agoI use an MX Master for gaming and it's been going strong for years.
- ssl-3 3mo agoSome Logitech mouse switches have been known to fail in normal use. At least one person has put together a good overview of what they think is happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5BhECVlKJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5BhECVlKJA (details in video description)
- lstodd 3mo agoUse cats. For all great Logi ergonomics, they fall prey to cat hair; and pads cover the screws, so they can't be reassembled pristine after cleaning. Still, M500s is the best.
- account42 3mo agoPads over screws seem to be common for pretty much all mice. At least pads can be replaced easily and cheaply, unlike crap switches or wheel encoders.

- mcv 3mo agoIn my family we use the Glorious Model O. My son wanted one ages ago (I got him a mini), and it was so nice, I got one for myself. Now my oldest has a big one, and my youngest uses the mini. We've had them for years. The mini has lost the button that lets you select speed, but other than that they're still great. For better than the various Logitechs I had before. The only real downside is the bright flashing led patterns. I've gotten used to them.
- RobotCaleb 3mo agoAh, yes, the bigotedly named company.
- bayindirh 3mo agoI had several Marathon mice which broke their 3-year battery life promises, by lasting way longer. I had to retire them since their plastics degraded in some cases after 6-7 years (I had several at one point due to having multiple PCs being used every day for long stretches). Currently I use their MX Keys Minis, MX Anywhere mice and trackballs. All are rock solid. Bolt receiver works great with Linux via Solaar allowing full suite of features. Oh, Firmware Update Daemon supports Logitech hardware, too. If Logitech sends in new firmware, it pops up instantly to upgrade.
