Yes this, the scroll wheel breaking is driving me insane. I’m thinking I’ll not buy anymore mice from them now because it’s happened to every single one
Had the same issue with their controllers. Got one, was busted on arrival. Got replacement, was busted within a week. I’ve never had such a bad experience
Same, although more than just the scroll wheel broke. And I think I was on three in a row breaking within a year before I gave up. It’s a shame because feature-wise I like some of their stuff, but it’s just impossible to buy products with this level of QC.
I’ve used logitech g502s for about 10 years now and the only time I’ve had issues was when I accidentally knocked it off my desk. I’m not a fanboy but logitech makes some good quality stuff for relatively decent prices
I have two 602s that I’ve had forever. Unfortunately both are having issues with the switches failing so I’m going to have to figure out something. I replaced the one for the left mouse button in one of them but the ones I bought are so stiff that if you don’t click it exactly right button just flexes, so that’s annoying.
No, not in a long time. I just find it’s very nice to have, you can do actions without lifting your fingers off WASD. Or use the PC one handed in some cases and have a coffee.
I could literally not live without them anymore. It’s great even for browsing/desktop use with some extra common actions, and pretty much every single game plays smoother with a few thumb-bound hotkeys.
It’s really hit or miss with the mice. All of mine lasted several years or more but I know some models are pretty bad. I had a copperhead that lasted a while, then a naga “green” that didn’t last very long but I could probably fix (I think the PCB inside came off its fixations and then some soldering broke) but to be fair it did travel across the Atlantic ocean and back. My current naga with the magnetic panels has been going strong for some years.
Their gamepads are junk though, a good old 360 controller feels better and lasts infinitely longer. I’ve also owned a few pairs of kraken headsets which were comfortable but overpriced and not durable enough. Then again the other gaming brands aren’t fairing much better on that front (I currently have a corsair virtuoso I got as a gift, it’s ok but the planned obsolescence ear pads are driving me nuts). The keyboards look like they’re gamer status symbols more than anything else, just like the laptops. I got a cheapo mechanical keyboard from some random brand and it feels better than the 200€+ razer keyboards I’ve tried.
I’ve owned two razor mice, they both had the scrollwheel break within a year. I left the cult of razer then.

I also switched to Logitech, to a G604 though. Six thumb buttons is perfect for me.
MMO?

Yeah, people really sleep on the programmable keys. Even just for web browsing it’s nice to be able to do extra stuff with one button press.
