Even their hardware is suffering.

I moved to a knockoff trackball (Nulea) that's considerably better so far, simply because I went through two trackballs in three years.

Yeah, I used to have a pair of logitech G35 headphones and they were the best headphones I've ever had. When they eventually broke I replaced them with the newer G635 and they're so much worse. I can't even use the buttons on them because they don't send any keycode at all before being initialized by the software which is windows only

Was it the switches on the right/left mouse button? That's usually my failure point.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Mouse wheel on one, power failure on the other. The second one my cats kept knocking to the floor so I can't really blame Logitech on that one but with the Nulea one it really hit home that Logitech doesn't refine their designs any longer.

With my G604, the rubber sheet on top of the mouse comes loose after 2 years or so. Started again yesterday. Once it starts to disintegrate, I'll just leave Logitech behind for good.

I have been using the MX Ergo trackball for years and it is very reliable.
