Are Mice by Logitech actually durable?

[ahmedbatty]

Well the title does convey my question. But let me tell you why I am asking this:

 

Here is a list of mice that I have owned in the last 2 years:

• Logitech M171 (work/daily use, lasted around a year, no longer with me)
• Logitech G300s (gaming, owned it for around 6 months)
• Logitech M275 (current mouse, work/daily use, using it since December 2019)

All of these mice had/having the same problem: double click issues or the right click won't hold (for example when aiming down sights in games). Notice that the Logitech mice I have owned are having these problems in just under a year of ownership (coincidence? bad luck? faulty devices?). Now, its no problem for me to go and buy another one, but now I would obviously hesitate to buy something from Logitech.

 

I opened up my G300s, cleaned it with a brush and some alcohol, put it back together and used it without the issues till they came back again after a week.

 

How has your experience been with Logitech? Did you switch from some other brand to Logitech? Or did you move away from Logitech due to some reasons?

Of course not all of you would have had these issues, but it would still be great to have knowledge from this community.

 

Thank you.

I've used both the G502 and the G502 Hero for several years without any issues. And these were the times when i still played CS:GO and often smashed my mouse on my table 

 

Now i'm using a G Pro mouse and a G910 Keyboard.

Logitech peripherals always had the right feel and quality for me.

 

I was using Corsair peripherals for a few months in between but went back to logitech because the corsair stuff was pretty poor quality, especially for the price. With them you pay a lot for the 600 LED's in every device.

I've had a 300s, 602, 502, and now a 305. No issues whatsoever related to double clicking. Although my 502s cable got really frayed and destroyed

Could totally relate with smashing my G502 Proteus...Smashing it soo much that the middle button click is gone, had to disable in software as it was very sensitive when using the scroll wheel. Overall, I am pretty happy with my Logitech mouse/keyboard products.

I guess even the best can't take it all

I do have a G502 HERO waiting for me when my mouse does decide to go...and a new G513 Carbon GX Blue that I just picked up over the weekend.

For the must part. They have had some issues with some products in the past, but always had great RMA service, so no big deal.

Got the MX518 (the new one) for about 1.5 years and it's great! The software sucks, but I run it without it, and it's great and it still looks like new.

I'd say it depends on the mouse, my G402s and G502 lasted decently long (and still work fine other than the middle mouse button, which I use a lot). My G Pro wired's side buttons started double clicking within less than 6 months of use, which was kind of weird. My G Pro Wireless which I'm currently still using hasn't had any issues with the buttons, but the scroll wheel acts weird sometimes. Durability aside though, Logitech's customer service is definitely one of the best and every time I have contacted them about any issues, they have replaced my mouse with a new one, so I'm not as bothered by the meh durability of some of their mice.

 

EDIT: I also have a G305 and a few G203/102s all of which work great, but I haven't used them long enough to get an idea of how durable they are.

Most of the g line has double click issues.

I switched from Logitech to Corsair as well, spent more on the Corsair stuff and I miss my Logitech stuff. The Corsair keyboard isnt bad at all but The Dark Core RGB SE is a bit disappointing, the side buttons are poorly positioned compared to my Logitech mouse.
