Logitech does not qualify for "very good". maybe for "good enough"

Logitech’s product line is completely bifurcated into their horrible products and good products — there’s no in between.

For example, most of their consumer-focused Bluetooth peripherals are great (such as the K380 keyboard).

Seconding this. I've been using a Logitech gaming mouse for several years full time without problems (other than the software), and then I bought one of Logitech's consumer line, a Marathon with a super-long battery life.

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.

I dunno their mice are ok. I've got a G203 on the PC and an MX Master 3 on the mac and they are both excellent. The G203 is the best mouse I've used since the MS optical mice.

Only downside is you have to turn all the RGB lights crap off on the G203.

Both Microsoft and Logitech mice are crap quality. Unfortunately everybody else is much much worse.

This is one of those cheap "everything is bad" takes. I recently had two mice: a logitech g pro which was great, and now a logitech mx vertical which was also great.

This is one of those cheap 'everything is fine' takes. I recently also bought a logitech mouse and it's as shitty as shittiest no-name Chinese mice.

I’ve owned 3 different Logitech mice and have had a ton of issues with Bluetooth and the LogiOptions software.

There isn’t much competition, and only recently are we seeing other companies like Elgato compete with Logitech’s peripherals.

I've used an MX Master 2S for two years now and this is the first time I've thought about it for more than five seconds.

Now that I'm considering it, though, this is easily the nicest scroll wheel I've ever used.

What does it take to make a mouse wheel that doesn't shit the bed, and who's making it? I'd just like to give them some obscene triple price and be done with mice.
