I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.

This is the MX Master 3S from the article (said to be going from 100 to 120$)

80 Swiss francs today, lowest at 62 (80 chf is around 98$).

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too...

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’ve been using Logitech for decades because it’s Swiss, and good.

At least it was good, since the 'Logi' rebrand they started to follow the enshitification road and apparently they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

Today I’m not sure my next mouse will be a Logitech, but I’ll cross that bridge when I’ll need a new mouse.

they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

But Logitech software is already terrible.

Germany

Waiting for a company to loudly raise their prices.

“YEEHAW!! Lord Trump is bravely losing to the Chinese so we’re passing that loss on to YOU!”

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

If my company was directly impacted by Tariffs, you can bet your ass it would say "Trump Tariff surcharge" right on your invoice.

Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.

You're reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

I’m definitely gonna be doing some price research across regions and pre/post Apr 2025 before buying anything from now on. I’m not purchasing product from companies who socializing the US tariff costs to other nations.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I hated Canada because of this relationship. I have been asking for a long time for Canada to get some backbone and not rely on the USA for everything. This is finally our time to shine.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago

Logitech are fucking dead to me after the shit they pulled with the harmony remotes.

Don't @ me about the age of the hardware, it's the practice they still do today: make hardware dependant on their services, then cripple them when they feel like it. You cannot trust them

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's what I did. Bought new processor, graphics card, monitor OLED wide-screen, all last year. I knew this shit was coming. These pieces will last me well past this orange fuck face.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

You didn't seriously think China or Logitech was going to pay that tariff, did you? Be prepared for a LOT of stuff to cost more.

Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.

[–] Auzy@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I own 2 of their vertical mouses

There aren't really many alternatives readily available

The hardware has gotten a lot better, but they're really not targeting the high the market anyway

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA...
The surface is already getting gummy.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its "premium material" has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Google "Logitech mouse double clicking". If you don't get top of the line, good chance you'll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.

My 2 g502 mice and 3 keyboards in use, one from 2004, beg to differ.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gonna call bullshit on that one. I've been using the G502 for years and I like the feel of it. I've gone through 3 and keep a spare in box for when it starts to double click. The X has been chugging for a couple of years now, but I've used a lot of mice, I really shouldn't have to spend $80 to get a mouse that lasts more than 6 months.

Still, they absolutely want to force people to a monthly fee.

Red dragon stuff is pretty ok, just saying.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

I got secret santa'd a Red Dragon mechanical Keyboard and ended up buying a matching mouse & speakers.

I recommend them to anyone who asks.
