> Such great hardware

Every other mouse brand I've used (razer, hyperx, reddragon, steelseries) has outlasted my logitech-G mice, and felt noticeably better built. Their keyboards are the most generic, nothing-special keyboards for any company of that size. They don't innovate.

I will never buy a logitech mouse/keyboard ever, especially with the options we have today.

It's so tiring hearing people praise their hardware when they've literally been outcompeted for a decade at this point. Their webcams, and other niche stuff (like flight sticks) may be fine, but their mice/keyboard are below average.

Interesting! Is there a good, ergonomic mouse that completes with Logitech's MX? I did hear they wear off quickly, which is why I never bought one, but I also never bothered to check for alternatives since everyone said MX is best by far.

I personally don't enjoy most ergonomic mice, almost entirely because of the weight.

I used to be the type of person that liked mice with >3 side buttons and programmable firmware and all that, with a shape that fit my hand, but lately I'm of the mindset that anything that can be done with a keyboard (or voice) should just be done on the keyboard.

I enjoy lightweight gaming-focused mice. Just anything cheap and light, and on the go, I just use my trackpad. Absolutely no reason to spend 90 bucks on a mouse unless you do most of your work on a mouse.

Fair enough! Thanks for your take.

Nobody makes thumb trackballs as good as Logitech, or at least not anymore. And I have no complaints about the quality. I have three MX Ergos, replacing my previous Logitech trackballs that all lasted well over 10 years of daily use (the left click switches started getting iffy, but that's probably fixable, so I kept them).

I barely ever hear someone complain about the hardware quality of Logitech mice and keyboards, even before considering how much of them there are compared to Keychrons, Duckys, or all the gamer brands.

The MX Ergo form factor is the best, by the way. Few people go back to pushy-pully mice after they got a taste of how fast and precise they can be with a thumb trackball. I always find it interesting where I see them on TV or YouTube: medical laboratories, architectural offices, movie studios... and Louis Rossmann's desk. I've been using them since the 90s and they probably were an unfair advantage in FPS LAN parties =D

Elecom gives them a run for their money thumb ball wise in my experience.

Thats funny. I have a mx master 3 and its handsdown the best workmouse i have ever had. I work in strange places and the mouse works on every surface. Even glass, mirrors, server doors, skin, pants. I hate the app with a passion and use BTT.

I've been using my MX518 for 15 years. I have several stocked away when this dies.

That's one from the good old days. I was a full on logitech fan back then too, it's sad what the company has turned into.
