This seems to be the case for electronics from European brands in general.
Every Logitech mouse I’ve owned has failed mechanically.
I wrote them off after the middle click button failed on me on two separate Logitech mice (a G502 and G602). I’ve had better luck with cheap generic chinese gaming mice, so that’s what I use now.
Ugh, my 602 middle click is starting to go out at work. I have a 604 at home and it’s just not the same
I was going to say this. OP has never had to suffer through every mouse click registering either twice or none at all. Only on Logitech.
Seems like they either have inconsistent quality or it went down over time. My 6-7 years old g502 is from a mechanical standpoint in perfect shape, I’ve just worn out the rubber sides and had to replace its feet once. I’d even say it’s seeing fairly heavy use considering I use it for both work and gaming.
Worst part is that even though there’s a web app version it still requires windows to work
MX Ergo, customization via logi software. My mouse can’t decide if it’s fast or slow, or which direction to scroll. It’s just like, why not both?
Thankfully I realized just how bad it was before the return window closed.
Why does the mx ergo need software running? I’ve had it for two years with nothing installed and it works perfectly.
I had a really great experience with Logitech support several years ago that made me feel good about buying their stuff. But, in the years since then, my mouse randomly changing DPI all the time and my headset microphone randomly getting stuck on mute have worn me down.
The open-source stuff is better.
Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.
Both suck.
Had TWO G413 keyboard where the E-key just stopped registering keypresses sometimes. Third one got the same issue on left ctrl… returned and got a custom keyboard lmao.
I also had a G Pro X Superlight whatever and it took only 4 months to develop double clicking and super weird tracking issues like stuttery cursor movement and sometimes just stopping to work unless I restarted or re-plugged the mouse. Recently got a Lamzu Thorn. Easily the best mouse I have ever had, can recommend over Logitech’s garbage
you didnt consider swapping out the g pro superlight pcb to a hotswap board? the mouse is popular enough that the pcb actually exists in the aftermarket for it.
nah I had still warranty left, just sold the one I got back from RMA. Done govong Logitech my moneyy, I got a much better mouse now :)
Nah bro. This is Corsair.
I literally got rid of a fucking awesome Corsair mouse because the software was such utter dogshit. It would straight up crash during games. And my wife had exactly the same problems on her PC, so it wasn’t anything unique to my set up. My mouse was wireless, hers was wired, both absolutely sucked. The hardware was great, but the software absolutely ruined them.
Logitech software is fine. Not perfect, but it absolutely does the job.

this works way better than the official thing.
Agreed, MX master plus logiops is gold on linux, 6+ years on my 2 (bit ugly now but still works great) and now a 3, no complaints.
I know some of their hardware also sucks for the people saying that. I’ve had a share of crappy logitech stuff that kind of pissed me off. But, I love my MX master 3. I use it for work, it is so fun to wind your finger up and scroll downward on whatever long winded scroll able item you may happen upon. I had it for 2.5 years, it’s still trucking, I feel like I only charged it 4 times. It’s truly awesome.
I mostly love mine.
I hate that I had to get IT to download special logitech software to my workstation so I could make the horizontal scroll not be backwards.
I bought an OG MX518, once, because it’s that good and it’s lasted (plzplzplzdontdie).
I installed Setpoint, once, because it’s that bad.
I’ve been reporting this bug for years.
Still not fixed. I’ve made several support reps try this and had their mice lose the ability to left click or leave g-shift mode, as I’ve walked them through duplicating the issue, and yet.
Logitech hardware used to be good, but even that’s gone to shit. Got tired of their awful mechanical mice switches failing and switched to a Razer mouse with optical switches, no regrets.
Razer might actually fit better in this meme.
Has razer hardware gotten better? I stopped buying after 2 of their mice stopped working just after the warranty expired.
Razer hardware is pretty good, but the death adder definitely has a shelf life. The scroll wheel goes soft and the click switches go bad but that’s fixable.
The software is hot steaming dogshit. No other description fits. It’ll work fine for a few months or a year but then it starts crashing regularly for no reason. I tried a firmware update on my black widow 2012 and it bricked it. While searching for help, I discovered it was A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HADN’T BEEN FIXED IN 2 YEARS. They jerked me around about the warranty and I raised enough hell that they RMAd it with a newer black widow. I bought the 2012 edition purposely because it was blue and the new one was green so I was miffed about that, but it’s held up and is still my current emergency backup keyboard. It can deal with generic drivers though. Synapse will never touch my pc while I’m alive and I’m never giving razer another cent.
Not sure recently, had the same issue and busted 2 deathadders within 12 months of purchase. The clicker had a little stem to push the switch which cracked off. Ended up getting a zowie next and haven’t had any issues.
OG razer deathadders lasted forever had one and it never failed me, I made an investment to get the deathadder v3 pro and I love the thing, I’m hopping it lasts as long.
Jumping on the Logitech hardware trashing. Bought two G613 keyboards in the past couple years. Each one failed shortly after the 1 year warranty period. Both had the same double pressing chatter issue. I’ve been avoiding their mice for a while due to double clicking problems.
I liked my G512 so much I bought a second one to use at work but both had issues with keycaps breaking and LEDs dying. And the middle scroll on both my G403 mice had issues after a few months of use.
I’ve had to stop buying Logitech stuff, though I’ve still got a set of Z207 speakers that I like. Now I have a real mechanical keyboard that I can repair and a couple Glorious mice which are mostly okay.
I miss the days of the Logitech MX518 mouse. I had one that I probably used for like 5-6+ years, maybe longer. Solid mouse, no bullshit, indestructible.
Sounds like you too got your keyboard wet. I cleaned my G13 Orion once with liquids and practically destroyed it. G502 Hero is top class esp when taking price into consideration.
I’ve owned a G500s G502 and 2 G502 hero in the past 10 years and just got a 502 Hero Lightspeed. God I love it
All are still working
Ah I’m facing the double-typing on mine now as well. Though I’ve convinced myself to turn it into a personal project instead. I want to design a replacement PCB for G613 with MX switches.
Headphones are absolute trash and die constantly. But their MX Master series? I couldn’t be happier if I tried. Absolute top of the line. Gaming keyboards look the same cheap trash as others, so I wouldn’t wanna try em anyway.
I wouldn’t game fast game with the MX Master, but for productivity work, this is one of the best mouse i’ve used. My hand never gets tired.
