They wanted the mouse to have a name like “Microsoft® Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000” but they accidentally used the wrong encoding and the name was invalid. Because they already made thousands of devices without properly testing them, the “obvious” solution was to patch the Bluetooth stack on every single computer in the world to fix this issue. It’s the only Bluetooth device released in computer history that requires this.
My kid just had an issue with his Logitech wireless mouse right clicking with both buttons!
I looked in settings and then I used the mouse on Linux and windows and got the same effect. It turns out Logitech mice use piece of shit button switches.
But no problem I fixed the problem in like 5 minutes once I knew what the problem was. I gave my kid a wired mouse temporarily. Then I went to Amazon and searched for wireless mice. No more Logitech for me thanks.
I’ve been using the same Logitech 502 mouse for around 7 years now, with a lot of hours of FPS games. It wasn’t cheap, could this be a case where the inexpensive thing becomes more expensive in the long run?
They use shit switches but their wireless chipset is the best. The battery life is years instead of weeks and it’s always responsive like if it was wired. My HP Bluetooth mouse depletes its battery 20x faster than my Logitech Bluetooth mouse and most importantly when it goes in the sleep mode (around after 15 mins) it needs a click to wake up + it takes a couple seconds to reconnect. Infuriating.
That’s the problem. A mouse is currently not a user serviceable item. Remember the days of the rubber ball mice?
They wanted a mouse subscription system? Well they got it and I’m out. Their 1 year mouse stinks.
