Logitech are fucking dead to me after the shit they pulled with the harmony remotes.

Don't @ me about the age of the hardware, it's the practice they still do today: make hardware dependant on their services, then cripple them when they feel like it. You cannot trust them

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Red dragon stuff is pretty ok, just saying.

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 14 points 17 hours ago

My mouse is now worth 25% more?

Suck it, Bitcoin!

Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.

You're reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Downvote for 3rd party.
Every party more is important as to not give any party full control.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

You're right, red vs blue isn't the real fight, and the people can't win until they start acting against the real threat to the people.

It's sad you're being downvoted. The two party system needs to go.

I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Germany

Logitech MX Master 2S from 53.34 €

Logitech MX Master 3S now 75.99 € up from 74 € at the beginning of April.

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is the MX Master 3S from the article (said to be going from 100 to 120$)

80 Swiss francs today, lowest at 62 (80 chf is around 98$).

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too...

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ve been using Logitech for decades because it’s Swiss, and good.

At least it was good, since the 'Logi' rebrand they started to follow the enshitification road and apparently they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

Today I’m not sure my next mouse will be a Logitech, but I’ll cross that bridge when I’ll need a new mouse.

they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

But Logitech software is already terrible.

[–] primemagnus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Depends how they import products. Canada uses a lot of layaways in the US during shipping. There are also big ports in Alaska that are landing spots for items set to enter Canada.

If those are hit, then they will pass those increases to Canadians.

It’s going to be key now to cull the US. But I’m seeing HUGE increases in US only pricing. So yeah, not a good start for that shit hole.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm more wondering if corporations are going to corporation and just use the US tariffs as the excuse for globally up the prices.

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Sony already did that with the PlayStation didn't they?

They absolutely will, but no one wants to go alone. First they have to collude, which may already be happening.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Already every commercial I hear on the radio is talking about "tariff pricing".

They also increased prices in Canada, by 7-15% afaict.
eg: MX Master 3S went up ~14%, $140 to $160.

[–] primemagnus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I’m pretty sure that’s due to rare earth metals and China. All I know is it likely won’t be a blanket increase like most think.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.

[–] Auzy@aussie.zone 6 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I own 2 of their vertical mouses

There aren't really many alternatives readily available

The hardware has gotten a lot better, but they're really not targeting the high the market anyway

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its "premium material" has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA...
The surface is already getting gummy.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My 2 g502 mice and 3 keyboards in use, one from 2004, beg to differ.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Gonna call bullshit on that one. I've been using the G502 for years and I like the feel of it. I've gone through 3 and keep a spare in box for when it starts to double click. The X has been chugging for a couple of years now, but I've used a lot of mice, I really shouldn't have to spend $80 to get a mouse that lasts more than 6 months.

Still, they absolutely want to force people to a monthly fee.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Google "Logitech mouse double clicking". If you don't get top of the line, good chance you'll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.

[–] Impleader@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Waiting for a company to loudly raise their prices.

“YEEHAW!! Lord Trump is bravely losing to the Chinese so we’re passing that loss on to YOU!”

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

If my company was directly impacted by Tariffs, you can bet your ass it would say "Trump Tariff surcharge" right on your invoice.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

I’m definitely gonna be doing some price research across regions and pre/post Apr 2025 before buying anything from now on. I’m not purchasing product from companies who socializing the US tariff costs to other nations.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

I hated Canada because of this relationship. I have been asking for a long time for Canada to get some backbone and not rely on the USA for everything. This is finally our time to shine.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

That's what I did. Bought new processor, graphics card, monitor OLED wide-screen, all last year. I knew this shit was coming. These pieces will last me well past this orange fuck face.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whew... The F310 is still $19.99.

Had me worried for a second.

Mine won't implode because I'm not using the wireless controller.
