Logitech has been on the decline for a while LGS was awesome replaced with the far inferior GHub. Now they're doing it with the physical hardware? Fuck y'all
GHub is a terrible piece of software, ugh.
I know, it's even worse when ya compare it to their previous software. They didn't just take a step backwards, I swear they went, how can we make the same software but make it worse in EVERY conceivable way. Then they did just that
I have a Logitech mouse and keyboard. I don't use their software even though it's free. Other than the shitty switches, it's a good mouse. Actually, the wireless connection isn't great compared to the G7 (I thought I was getting frame stutters at first until I realized it went away if I plugged my mouse in). And the battery not being easily removable is dangerous, as mine was swelling when I opened it up to replace one of those shitty switches a few weeks ago.
But if they do try it, they'll probably be quickly dethroned since mice and keyboards aren't exactly difficult to make and even today the wear and tear is because they wanted to save a buck or two on switches (or were tricked into thinking crappy switches were good ones).
