I love Microsoft hardware and I have been using their peripherals since the late 80s. Logitech is also very good, but never had quite the reliability and simplicity combined with innovation of Microsoft's hardware products.

There is something about the way the buttons and scroll wheels feel that no other manufacturer could match. Not even Logitech.
For example, most of their consumer-focused Bluetooth peripherals are great (such as the K380 keyboard).
I thought it was broken - the mouse turns the sensor off if you stop using it for a few seconds, leading to noticeable delays when you start using it again. And the polling rate is so low that it seems to skip some movements, like the old mice with the physical ball you had to clean.
I also had one of the first Logitech "Laser" mice which was unable to track consistently on any surface, worse than the optical mice it was supposed to replace.
There isn’t much competition, and only recently are we seeing other companies like Elgato compete with Logitech’s peripherals.
Now that I'm considering it, though, this is easily the nicest scroll wheel I've ever used.
Only downside is you have to turn all the RGB lights crap off on the G203.
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.
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.
