Logitech makes decent, and sometimes great, hardware.

Their software division is run by clowns and always has been.

I love when certs expire publicly, because I like to imagine the last person who knew that needed to get renewed got fired in the last 90 days and has been biding their time, checking the news for the eventual payoff of getting to watch the hubris go off like fireworks.

There are open-source programs for configuring Logitech peripherals without the insane bloat of the official app. I can't name them offhand because the last time I used them I had to try three or four to find one that worked with both old and new hardware, but they exist.

They deserve to get dragged through the mud on this one. It should be completely impossible for any server-side fuckup to cause a mouse to stop working. The fact that this kind of issue is possible is absurd and can only be explained by negligence.

I've had a g703 for about five years now, and it's been an excellent mouse

But fuck that bloatware, man. I was wondering for weeks why my mouse would randomly change sensitivity

Because we all know how a problem that only affects macOS deeply affects PC Gaming ....

I'm generally not suspicious even though they are everywhere these days, but I have to wonder how much astroturfing there is behind this from other PC Gaming peripheral competitors. Logitech, an established brand, has a problem that is unpopular, makes that ASUS mouse seem more appetizing. Although it's probably reddit users/circlejerk bandwagon being reddit users/circlejerk bandwagon and amplifying an otherwise less significant issue that has already been resolved...

Piper is what I use for the Logitech mice but I believe it's Linux only.

I used logitech mice for years but I finally stopped and I'm glad I did. There's cheaper, better options now.

I had no idea that the software side of the company was such trash, but that's probably because I'm using windows. All my peripherals for the past decade have been logitech, and I've been super happy with them. Do linux users have these kinds of issues with logitech devices?
