It's OK you're not missing anything, the last three Logitech mice I had died to switch failure in like 6 months so they're not worth buying anyway
Which is sad. I liked the hardware I've had from them, but I haven't bought new in a few years. The mouse has treated me much better than Razers I've had over the years. Sad that their quality has (predictably) started circling the drain as well.
Also, what mouse or brand do you recommend buying instead?
I just love the roccat kone aimo because I have lumberjack hands and every other mouse is just too small. Sadly their left click gets used quite rapidly, nothing crazy IMO but it's a shame tossing an expensive mouse just for that (and losing the click or double clicking drives you crazy quickly, ha ha!) so I bought some microswitches from aliexpress and swapped them out in both of my mice. Fiddly but works perfectly now!
That was gonna be my rec too. I bought a Kone and it's been an amazing mouse for me.
Yeah it irritates me that the sensors always go so soon. You'd think the tech would advance past this, but it's been a complaint for years at this point.
Got my little pouch of microswitches for the forseable future :-)
For what I found, it's like they all use the same switches too 🤷🏼♀️
Sounds about right. But if controllers can have hall effect to prevent stick drift (third party controllers at least), then why can't mouse switches have something similar?
I don't think it's drift, they just gets worn out.
Often it's just a bit of dirt. Other times it wears out. My point wasn't that it's the same as drift, but that both are wear and tear that should be avoidable or less of a problem. Like hall effect joysticks in controllers, which are still not available on first party controllers because they want you buying new ones all the time.
Same thing with these switches. There has to be a better switch that makes this less of a problem or at least prevents it from happening so damn quickly.
Sure, I bet there are more sturdy microswitches out there, but maybe they doesn't have that distinct click? Or maybe they're 0.20€ more expensive...
Of course. And then the mouse is suddenly $20 more or something.
So, if I ever get around to learning how to replace the switches myself, I'll go looking for something that might be more reliable.
"extra reliable switches" +20€
Yeah I can see that happening...
BTW I just did it with a pair of plyers and a soldering iron and some perseverance.
Yeah I have zero experience soldering. That's why I said if I get to it. Definitely a skill I want to learn though.
If you do, aliexpress has it all IMO.
I like their hardware too, I still have an ancient pair of g200 headphones with mic that still work great. I use it regularly. But their mice peripherals have fallen tf off.
Like Valmond recommend I went to a Roccat mouse - they're a less well known Japanese brand. I've had mine for over two and a half years and it's been amazing.
I didn't know Roccat was less well known. Or that they were Japanese. But at least now I know what I'm looking at when my mouse finally kicks the bucket.
