I can understand losing the dongle (that there’s still no standard…) but the mice?
Tbf those particular laptop mice are quite small. I’ve had mine shoot out from under my hand and fall off the desk very easily. It was very slippery. At least the older version was. The latest version has some coating on it to stop it from shooting across the room so easily.
From somewhat detailed and recognizable, to just the name, to not even the name. Their next logo will be a single “L”, not stylized in any way.
I think they’ll keep the g, since they’ve already put all their styling effort into that one.
Already do on some.
But a lowercase L is just… l
:')
You mean the evolution of the logi, right ?
I’ve stuck with M705 for many years. It’s simple, but has a button on top that lets you swap the mouse wheel from free floating (you can spin it and it spins, very useful for scrolling through long text like logs or code quickly) to the usual click type scrolling.
This is my favorite feature on the MX Master mouse, hands down
I use the same nice for home and work. Most other mice feel too small in my hand. Batteries last for months too.
I’ve got a Logitech Pebble. It’s not the most comfy for extended use, but is sleek alongside my laptop. I can’t remember when I bought it, but I haven’t had to replace the single AA it came with since I got it!
Edit: According to Amazon, I got it almost exactly 1 year ago! Admittedly, I don’t use it nearly as much as my G502 which needs recharging a couple times a week.
Cool find, thanks :)
Cool find, thanks :)
What about this find makes it cool?
What is that nonsense on the right?
You can see the logos getting worse, in my opinion. I absolutely hate the trend of oversimplifying logos.
Yeah, devolution rather.
Eh I would agree but the first one is a weak sub par logo regardless, even if the trend didn’t change it deserved and update. I think the middle one is inoffensive and good, the third one is very grandpa learning the gangnam style dance. Today.
It’s such a same though to throw away that uniqueness. It would have been interesting to instead have a skilled firm do an evolution of the original.
I got all inspired by this post, and took a shot of some of the Logitech mice I have around here.
The red one (MX510) seemed so sleek and advanced in its day, and now is…large. And lumpy. And the logo is actually attached.
The M720 is the best of them. I wish they’d update it.
been using m720 for over 2 years. absolutely love this mouse for the price point
I still have one of the old whitish PS2 wired track-rats in my 'tech graveyard ’
Fascinating, this is practically archeology.
You call this archeology?
Soon it will be “log”, then “lo”, and finally “l”.
I love Log!
Their gaming brand is just “G”
Kinda off topic but the Superlight is sick
Agreed, wish the gen 1 had USB-C already
The big L

Logitech M510, the most recent two are 2020 and 2022. The first is probably circa 2012
Still rocking my 2012 one.
I also have several M510s around, but mostly because the left click stopped working
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.
I use a larger mouse on my desktop (actually have pretty big hands), but I like the small size for carrying around in a laptop bag.
G502 here. I only had to replace it once due to me spilling Guinness all over the poor thing!
Lucky thing
Logitech is a good name for computer peripherals. Logi sounds like underwear or something.
It feels like one of those random Chinese 5 letter brand names.
Yeah that just LITTER Amazon? Chogi happy clappy fun time plastic cutting board, allegedly lead and tuberculosis free*!
To be fair, the company name is still Logitech, just the logo is shorter. I agree that the middle is probably best aesthetically, except that the logo seemed to fade quickly.
the logi is shorter
buh dmm tss
Their support is now at “support.logi.com.” Looks like they may be hocking a logi in the near future.
Its proactive. Its provocative.
They save ~0.005¢ every time they print it by eliminating all the other letters company-wide.
U believe they’re called “logicool” in Japan. So maybe it’s some form of logo consolidation.
How did you lose your mouse not once, but twice!? Kinda impressive
I mean, it’s over the course of a decade
They make ones with wires that are harder to lose.
That doesn’t explain it at all for me. I’ve never lost a mouse, even wireless ones, and I’m pretty sure you’d have a hard time finding someone less organised than me. Any idea about how they got lost? I’m in no way saying you’re dumb or anything like that, just interested in the details. How and where did you find them? It’s a cool thing!
The first one I found after moving, the second I legit just forgot I put it in my old backpack
