Very weird, I've had the opposite experience. I used to think their hardware products were complete crap, but now I own a G Pro mouse, keyboard, and headset from them (they've definitely stepped it up in the design game at the very least.)

Changed my headset to the G Pro X Wireless after having broken 2 SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headsets, which for some reason decided to use a single plastic piece for the hinge to hold the earcups on (on a $350 headset!).

I have a love/hate relationship with the G Pro X Wireless. I've bought 6 of them so far, 3 of which have died in some way (in all cases, the right or left click has stopped functioning). They're fantastic in every other way - I love the feel, the response time is great, the weight is great. I'll continue buying them for those reasons, at least until a competitor has all of the above plus my following wishlist:

Better build quality (a mouse should last more than 1-2 years, which is the average life I get out of them).

USB-C receiver. I hate having to use a dongle just for the USB-A receiver.

Better drivers. GHub is pretty bloaty.

I don't know if it works for their wireless mice, but it does show up under the G Pro X wireless mouse.

Need to select Windows 10.

"Onboard Memory Manager"

Can set profiles, basic macros (I have my G502's "sniper" button set to "T" for PTT audio, though I used to use "F24" for this case as well), LED.

Does not need to install. Does not need to run in the background. Can read existing profiles on the mouse's onboard memory.

For me, this program was the deciding factor of choosing a few Logitech G___ mice over any other mouse.

The G Pro X Wireless felt awesome and first and seemed like a great headset, but my mind changed when I ran into issues and saw how many others had issues as well. If they made it a bit more durable I would say it would be almost perfect.

I had an SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless as well before the Logitech one, and I ran into the same issue! Huge disappointment after having loved the SteelSeries Siberia wired headset
