    Maybe they could, like, put good switches in their high end mice? And building them in a modular, repairable way?

    I had a G903 with the wireless charging pad. The switches starting going bad within a year. I tried replacing those switches with higher quality ones, but a ribbon cable broke while getting it apart. The ribbon cable had one end sealed inside a module, so you have the replace that whole thing. Ended up writing the whole thing off and bought a Glorious (which are quite nice).

    Won’t touch their high end mouses anymore. Their cheap wireless mice are still pretty good and will run on a single AA battery forever (how? I don’t know). Why do they cut corners on the high end of the market?

      I have 15 year old Logitech mice and kids. They were the reference brand. I recently bought a pebble mouse, because of the dual connectivity. It’s crap

        A 15 year old Logitech probably isn’t a comparison to a new one Planned obsolescence was a thing 15 years ago but not nearly as widespread as it is now.
