Logitech are fucking dead to me after the shit they pulled with the harmony remotes.

Don't @ me about the age of the hardware, it's the practice they still do today: make hardware dependant on their services, then cripple them when they feel like it. You cannot trust them

My mouse is now worth 25% more?

Suck it, Bitcoin!

[–] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Should have bought all the stock during the last Black Friday.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You didn't seriously think China or Logitech was going to pay that tariff, did you? Be prepared for a LOT of stuff to cost more.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 days ago

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Red dragon stuff is pretty ok, just saying.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

I got secret santa'd a Red Dragon mechanical Keyboard and ended up buying a matching mouse & speakers.

I recommend them to anyone who asks.

Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.

[–] Auzy@aussie.zone 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I own 2 of their vertical mouses

There aren't really many alternatives readily available

The hardware has gotten a lot better, but they're really not targeting the high the market anyway

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA...
The surface is already getting gummy.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its "premium material" has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Google "Logitech mouse double clicking". If you don't get top of the line, good chance you'll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.

[–] Impleader@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

It's hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My 2 g502 mice and 3 keyboards in use, one from 2004, beg to differ.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Gonna call bullshit on that one. I've been using the G502 for years and I like the feel of it. I've gone through 3 and keep a spare in box for when it starts to double click. The X has been chugging for a couple of years now, but I've used a lot of mice, I really shouldn't have to spend $80 to get a mouse that lasts more than 6 months.

Still, they absolutely want to force people to a monthly fee.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 days ago

That's my experience with Razer

I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Waiting for a company to loudly raise their prices.

“YEEHAW!! Lord Trump is bravely losing to the Chinese so we’re passing that loss on to YOU!”

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

If my company was directly impacted by Tariffs, you can bet your ass it would say "Trump Tariff surcharge" right on your invoice.

Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.

You're reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Downvote for 3rd party.
Every party more is important as to not give any party full control.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

You're right, red vs blue isn't the real fight, and the people can't win until they start acting against the real threat to the people.

It's sad you're being downvoted. The two party system needs to go.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I’m definitely gonna be doing some price research across regions and pre/post Apr 2025 before buying anything from now on. I’m not purchasing product from companies who socializing the US tariff costs to other nations.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

I hated Canada because of this relationship. I have been asking for a long time for Canada to get some backbone and not rely on the USA for everything. This is finally our time to shine.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

That's what I did. Bought new processor, graphics card, monitor OLED wide-screen, all last year. I knew this shit was coming. These pieces will last me well past this orange fuck face.
