Avoid Logitech mice

MY MESSAGE IS NOT BLANK GLITCH SPOT!!!

every Logitech that I can remember using has had some kind of problem or flat out didn't work. I will start with my G7, random listing.

Logitech G7 cordless laser "gaming mouse": This mouse was a piece of crap right out of the box and to think it cost over $100USD at a major retailer that I won't name - I should have used the golden egg. The manual was torn, I found one or more finger prints on the CD and I just got the feeling that this was a repackaged item being sold as new. It very unreliable due to the fact that it randomly disconnects all the time. The mouse got me killed so many times in Counter-Strike, Farcry and has been a PITA for my mum and her WoW. A priest must be able to heal ASAP without disconnections and not have to worry about running into mobs in endgame due to the mouse freezing up. A few hours ago the mouse died out and refused to light up but after beating the crap out of it and switching battery packs... it works. This mouse has been a waste of money starting about one-two weeks after purchase and has been a waste ever since. The mouse is only a few months old.
I quote from my G7 box, "Logitech makes more mice than anyone else in the world. With this product, you're buying proven technology, world-forbidden and unmatched reliability." -- Yeah, every mouse I have owned except one has sucked, it would seem about right to keep making one after another. World-forbidden quality - From swim suits that rip to speakers that die, nearly everything I get from China breaks within a year. The swimsuit holds the one - two week record. Unmatched reliability my *bleeping* *bleep*, I call bullcakes! I can't even surf the Internet without having the mouse die on me. Someone else has had the same problems with this mouse and ended up getting a "cutting and shave" mouse, I think I will do the same.

Logitech headset: I'm not in the mood to go get it to find out the name of the headset. The microphone blew according to people in Counter-Strike and trying to get sound to come out was a nightmare. It is now in a box of spare parts due to not even working. I don't know how long it has been here but its only about a year old and basically never used.

Logitech RF wireless mouse: Was so resistant to movement...probably due to being a ball mouse... it has been collecting dust for the last year and only used out of pure need.
Logitech optical wireless mouse: I couldn't move this turd very fast before it got choppy and that caused me to die a lot.
Logitech wired mouse: I could move this one fast enough but the buttons crapped out and that is no good for AWPs.

I have had two good Logitech experiences, A track man which lasted many years and a Joystick which also lasted many years and I used to use it with BF2 until I found that "dead spot". The mouse needed a lot of cleaning and the buttons wore out eventually but it was good and I still have it in a spare parts box. The Joystick I think is a
"Wingman Attack" and has lasted many years and the buttons are great but it has a spot just off to the right where it likes to go to instead of the center. This sucks when you fly into the ground to the right or can't turn hard enough to the left.
Logitech will see one last bit of money for some X-530 speakers but I will get my mice and joysticks elsewhere.
I just want people to be aware of the hell that I have had and hope that they think twice before buying. To anyone that really read this: thank you for your time.

Glitch spot choped off the first... and gave me a... grr...

Wait....your mum has a WoW account?

Cool mum man

oh and i was going to get a logitech mouse but im having second thoughts now...maybe it was just the retailer?

anyway... any brands anyone reccomends?

mice are a thing of the past, people! I use my nintendo power glove /sarcasm

seriously though, I have a logitech LX3 optical mouse and it rocks. only $60 too.

Nice.  :P  I use an MX 1000 no problems.  Only thing I complain about is the fact I can't find a good mouse pad as my wood desk is getting slightly warped and this mouse does not respond to most pads I buy.

Everyone has bad luck occasionally.

I've gone from a Logitech Mouseman (ball mouse) to an optical Mouseman, before switching over to an MX500 and my current G5. Haven't had an issue with any of them, and I even dragged out the old Mouseman for work last summer because the office saw fit to give me a crappy old ball Microsoft mouse. I'd forgotten how much they suck.

My sister is using my optical Mouseman and my older computer has been going fine with that MX500 for years.

Oddly enough the reason I went Logitech in the first place was that I had horrible luck with the quality of Microsoft's peripherals.

My experiences with Logitech Products:

G7:

I have had no problem with the G7 other than the fact that the batteries on my mouse eventually completely died, which kinda shows how longlasting the thing is, that it would outlast its two lithium ion batteries, no disconnect problems and my mouse running low on batteries never got me killed, of course I actually checked my battery power indicator every now and then to check how much power I had. I wish I could say the same about Razer's mice

Logitech Gaming Headset:

Other than the comparative low quality sound (at least, compared to the professional headphone monitor I usually use. it has served me well.

Logitech Z-5500s

Has been flawless for 3 years, no problems

So folks that have been successfully swayed by this hater, don't worry about it. If he wanted something that actually worked instead of something to complain about, he should have talked to customer service.

cordless mouse for gaming is suicide, better get the G5-SaI

I have a Logitech mouse...

Never had any problem with it...

Sure, i agree with you about the G7 (peice of crap!) but the Logitech G5 is one of the greatest mouses out there! Not all Logitech mouses are crap. Only the wireless ones are. (Besisdes, why would you need wirerless anyway?) Oh and to anyone that reads this: thank you for your time.
