And so the tariff impacts continues.
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
Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence
My mouse is now worth 25% more?
Suck it, Bitcoin!
Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.
You’re reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.
Downvote for 3rd party.
Every party more is important as to not give any party full control.You’re right, red vs blue isn’t the real fight, and the people can’t win until they start acting against the real threat to the people.
It’s sad you’re being downvoted. The two party system needs to go.
In the US*
I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.
Germany
Logitech MX Master 2S from 53.34 €
Logitech MX Master 3S now 75.99 € up from 74 € at the beginning of April.
This is the MX Master 3S from the article (said to be going from 100 to 120$)
80 Swiss francs today, lowest at 62 (80 chf is around 98$).
I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too…
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.
Depends how they import products. Canada uses a lot of layaways in the US during shipping. There are also big ports in Alaska that are landing spots for items set to enter Canada.
If those are hit, then they will pass those increases to Canadians.
It’s going to be key now to cull the US. But I’m seeing HUGE increases in US only pricing. So yeah, not a good start for that shit hole.
I’m more wondering if corporations are going to corporation and just use the US tariffs as the excuse for globally up the prices.
They absolutely will, but no one wants to go alone. First they have to collude, which may already be happening.
Sony already did that with the PlayStation didn’t they?
Already every commercial I hear on the radio is talking about “tariff pricing”.
So far no, it doesn’t look like it. No one wants anything to do with hiking prices and less to do with the US.
They also increased prices in Canada, by 7-15% afaict.
eg: MX Master 3S went up ~14%, $140 to $160.I’m pretty sure that’s due to rare earth metals and China. All I know is it likely won’t be a blanket increase like most think.
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!”
If my company was directly impacted by Tariffs, you can bet your ass it would say “Trump Tariff surcharge” right on your invoice.
Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.
Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.
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.
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.
I’m just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.
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.
Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.
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
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.
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.
My 2 g502 mice and 3 keyboards in use, one from 2004, beg to differ.
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.
I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?
Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.
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.
I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.
Whew… The F310 is still $19.99.
Had me worried for a second.
Building a submarine?
If it helps, you can 3D print your own hardware nowadays
Can I 3d print something like the g602 mouse? I can solder components together and do a little programming if need be but designing something like that is way over my head. Not being able to find a replacement for that thing is killing me.
Try the Statial B. You can adjust it to meet almost any shape you need.
Note, it can be printed with an FDM, but it’ll need a 0.2mm nozzle and really good tuning. Some of the parts were a pain to print for me
https://github.com/PyottDesign/Statial-b
My main complaint is that the Statial B only has 2 thumb buttons, and I’d prefer to have at least 4. I’ve considered modifying the design of the relevant plate, but there’s still the issue of not having ports to wire the switches to the raspberry pi it runs on.
I also have a ploopy mouse like the other commenter mentioned. It’s definitely not a replacement for a G602 (that’s also the mouse I used before switching to open source), but it gets the job done. I just need to buck up and finish assembling the Statial B
That is really cool. I think there’s ways to get more switches on one port on Arduino but I don’t remember for sure.
I have no personal experience with it, but you might be interested in this completely open source mouse:
https://github.com/ploopyco/mouse
It looks like you can buy a fully assembled mouse, a build it yourself kit, or do it from scratch with the schematics. Doesn’t come with quite as many side buttons though
Interesting. It’s a start at least.
I need a new one of those little dongles, where can I find the STL?
