I've been using Logitech since my first real pc in the 90's
First the cheap mice and later the mx 500 510 518. I always wanted the new one when it came out. Now i'm using a 400s and mx master, and all of them never had any problem. My 518 still works great to this day, my brother in law uses it.
The same with keyboards.
Always had a logitech one, and i only switched because of new technolgy.
Only one died in ~20ish years because of a glass of bacardi cola dropped on it.
Now i'm using a 910 orion spark and i loved using every one of them.
Why the long story?
I just want to show that not everything is bad about logitech, just because your 15 dollar mouse broke and got stuck in customs.
Just buy your dad a new 15 dollar mouse and get over it.
