Logitech is a good name for computer peripherals. Logi sounds like underwear or something.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 52 points 9 months ago

To be fair, the company name is still Logitech, just the logo is shorter. I agree that the middle is probably best aesthetically, except that the logo seemed to fade quickly.

It feels like one of those random Chinese 5 letter brand names.

Yeah that just LITTER Amazon? Chogi happy clappy fun time plastic cutting board, allegedly lead and tuberculosis free*!

They save ~0.005¢ every time they print it by eliminating all the other letters company-wide.

You can see the logos getting worse, in my opinion. I absolutely hate the trend of oversimplifying logos.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

Eh I would agree but the first one is a weak sub par logo regardless, even if the trend didn't change it deserved and update. I think the middle one is inoffensive and good, the third one is very grandpa learning the gangnam style dance. Today.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

It's such a same though to throw away that uniqueness. It would have been interesting to instead have a skilled firm do an evolution of the original.

Soon it will be "log", then "lo", and finally "l".

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 50 points 9 months ago

I wish Logitech and all the other big peripheral companies would lose the software. They usually make your keyboard extremely annoying colors unless you install their crap

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

their software is also super bloated. How hard can it be to write a mouse driver? 1 GB for a mouse driver????

When I noted that Logitech started downloading, installing and running a service called Logitech Download Assistant without asking just by pluggning in a mice I realized I had to drop them.

Drivers are fine to push through Windows Update, programs are not.

I am on Xtrfy mice and Ducky keyboards these days, both are excellent and require zero programs to use

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I swear the side-scrollling wheel on the MX Master is set backwards to how everyone wants it specifically to get people to download the software.

[-] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Yup! I installed OpenRGB the conpletely uninstalled all my razer and logitech software. Loose a few macros, but i can make AutoHotKey scripts if I need to.

I've also been buying this same mouse. Once I saw a new one in the store and went, "Wow! They have it in dark gray!", and bought it. Turns out the old one at my computer was already dark gray.

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

From somewhat detailed and recognizable, to just the name, to not even the name. Their next logo will be a single "L", not stylized in any way.

The logo/brand devolved, IMO.

Coincidentally(?), their software devolved just as much!

I don’t want to install multiple applications to just use a mouse.

Logitech M510, the most recent two are 2020 and 2022. The first is probably circa 2012

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I'm a Logitech M720 man myself. I've bought at least three over the last few years. They seem to stop working within two years.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

G502 here. I only had to replace it once due to me spilling Guinness all over the poor thing!

Still rocking my 2012 one.

[-] lemmyman@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I also have several M510s around, but mostly because the left click stopped working

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 23 points 9 months ago

You mean the evolution of the logi, right ?

[-] Alpha71@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

sadly I'm not gonna buy Logitech mice anymore until they finally fix the damn double click problem that happens after a year of ownership.

On a side note, anyone have any sub 50 dollar mouse recommendations?

[-] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

if you have a bit of patience, you can fix a chattering microswitch pretty easily:

Invidious // Youtube

its for a logitech mouse, but the procedure is the same for all those microswitches, i got 3 more years out of my roccat mouse (which was in very heavy use and died of another reason)

How did you lose your mouse not once, but twice!? Kinda impressive

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

I mean, it’s over the course of a decade

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 7 points 9 months ago

That doesn't explain it at all for me. I've never lost a mouse, even wireless ones, and I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time finding someone less organised than me. Any idea about how they got lost? I'm in no way saying you're dumb or anything like that, just interested in the details. How and where did you find them? It's a cool thing!

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The first one I found after moving, the second I legit just forgot I put it in my old backpack

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

They make ones with wires that are harder to lose.

I've basically done this over a similar timeframe with the M590.

Fun fact: In Japan, Logi used to be called Logicool. Because there's already a local company called Logitec.

[-] MajikalMonkey2000@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago

Fascinating, this is practically archeology.

I can understand losing the dongle (that there's still no standard...) but the mice?

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Tbf those particular laptop mice are quite small. I’ve had mine shoot out from under my hand and fall off the desk very easily. It was very slippery. At least the older version was. The latest version has some coating on it to stop it from shooting across the room so easily.

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

I use the same nice for home and work. Most other mice feel too small in my hand. Batteries last for months too.

I forgot how much I liked the old Logitech logo. Make me remember my old MX518.

[-] pascal@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

I wonder if America gets worse manufacturing, all the people complaining Logitech mice failing after a couple of years. While mine I have to kill them myself or gift around because they last so much and I like the new cool G series mouse.

Logitech still make the best mice but nothing will beat the g5 mould.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I remember having a Logitech MX5000 laser mouse, Bluetooth version. Thing rocked. Had it so long, used it so much, I literally wore a hole through the plastic on the left button.

I would love to have another one... By the time it gave up the ghost, they had long been discontinued. I was able to get the RF version somewhere, but it fucking sucked! The BT never lagged or disconnected or anything but the RF one was basically unusable. I haven't even ever found a mouse similar enough that I liked. Nothing has the contour, the weight, and the buttons. I might get 1 of those 3 but not all 3.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
