G Hub is so incredibly bloated that the load time is in the same tier as MS Teams, the new Steam, Windows, and Cities Skylines II. It's also incredibly unreliable, working less often than other notoriously unreliable apps such as Outlook.

MX Ergo, customization via logi software. My mouse can’t decide if it’s fast or slow, or which direction to scroll. It’s just like, why not both?
Thankfully I realized just how bad it was before the return window closed.

Aside from certain mice, office keyboards and video conferencing stuff, Logitech is trash. Especially when it comes to flight sim and simracing hardware.
Their conferencing equipment is great. I work in that industry and I'm always happy to see Logitech specced over Cisco/crestron
Our office uses the MX 3S combo and I hated the mouse at first but now I really like it for CAD work. I just emailed our rep this morning to see if I could get a discount for my WFH setup (my boss said they might just send me a free one if I ask lol)
I loved my G35/G500 a decade ago but I have no interest in Logitech for my personal system anymore. Their "gaming" hardware blows nowadays
Also - their office peripheral software (Options+) is pretty good. You can configure your stuff and then uninstall it as it's saved to the onboard memory
Gotta say, I've always been blown away by how easy it is to connect Logitech stuff to their little multi-device dongles.
Recently started trying out the Flow feature and I'm a lot less blown away, but the dongle thing is plenty enough for me. I give them a thumbs up.
G Hub ist the single most terrible software I have ever used. I mean, it feels like a prank to use it.
Yeah, same as Steelseries, Razer, etc. why do I need to install a video capture and social sharing program just to get chat mix feature to work with my headset? I haven't had a Logitech gaming device in a bit, but it was bad when I did, probably worse now.
I just want their MX keys and MX mouse to fucking switch computers together when you press the button on the keyboard. I don't know why that's so much to ask but apparently it is.
I had a really great experience with Logitech support several years ago that made me feel good about buying their stuff. But, in the years since then, my mouse randomly changing DPI all the time and my headset microphone randomly getting stuck on mute have worn me down.
Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.
I had to resolder the switches on my G Pro Wireless. I absolutely love the mouse but they use pretty much the cheapest Omron switches they can, unless that's changed recently.
Was surprisingly not terrible to take apart and reassemble but you do have to pull off the adhesive-applied low-friction sliders at the bottom, so I would recommend buying replacement ones if you find yourself in that situation. Doesn't help that I also had a $150 mousepad that goes with it that's proprietary to specific Logitech gaming mice.
For what it's worth I only did it because I absolutely love the mouse and setup; I love the design and weight plus the convenience of a low-latency wireless mouse that literally never runs out of battery.
The plastic protection adhesive on the 920 series of cameras used to be awful.
