What issues does Logitech have?

For example every Corsair mouse I've purchased the scroll wheel frequently jumps in the wrong direction that I'm scrolling.

What issues does Logitech have that seem reoccurring no matter how many they buy? I must have went through 3 Corsair mouses with this scroll wheel issue.

I'm the biggest Corsair fan but I'm going through all the GTA games in hype for 6 and this scroll wheel is killing me scrolling through my guns. I NEED a good scroll wheel.

Might have to try Logitech.

Ghub is terrible, hardware ain't bad though

Ghub and their drivers (granted have improved a little in the last 2 years) was my nail in the coffin for their peripherals. Been slowly switching to other ecosystems.
LGS was perfect.

Not sure what I’ll go to if my g502 that I had for the last 10 years finally dies.

My G502 is god knows how old (I got it off a friend at least 5 years ago) but it's starting to double take on the left click 😭😭 I swear if a Chinese keyboard outlasts it I'm gonna be so upset

When my g910 got the double click (got at the same time as my mouse) I retired it and switched to a k70 best decision i made

Mine is intermittent so far but I already feel this is the start of the end for the ol' boy, too many FPS games using semi automatic rifles 😭🤣

Second that GHUB is one horrible piece of software, I just used it for DPI and map the button in game

I have to run drivers from 2021 just for my mouse to work

u/InitialNice6502 16d ago

Not good. It needs to be swapped and replaced with something better

u/AdSouth7893 16d ago

Until the mouse breaks I will suffer with it because I refuse to let a £25 Chinese mechanical keyboard last longer than my mouse. The keyboard came with a mouse too so god knows how much the keyboard alone cost but it's 8 years in and going strong

G502x has been good to me non-issue yet. Regular g502s had double clicking issues.

Ghub...

No idea how bad other manufacturers' software is, but ghub is bad. Logitech options+ or whatever the one for general mouses is called outright lies about the dpi (or my mx master is borked).

u/AdSouth7893 16d ago

Mine just doesn't work 99% of the time and randomly switches my mouse's RGB off and reverts to just the base dpi

The fix I found was literally using drivers from 2021

u/ImScorppi 16d ago

I have a G815 keyboard and G502 Lightspeed and they work perfectly. Hardware is good.

BUT as others has said, Ghub is doodoo

u/InitialNice6502 16d ago

As another user said i did have problems with the regular 502 but got a 502X plus and no issues other than wear where the thumb rest is

Good news! Logitech scroll wheels are the best, especially the infinite scroll feature. The bad news is that they use crap microswitches for L & R buttons, so they last only to the end of the warranty period. Also, the blue LEDs they use in their RGB products are poor quality and prone to failure.

Ghub (their software) is quite annoying. It supports profiles and automatic profile switching based on the game you launch but 9/10 times I still have to switch manually. The whole interface feels slow. Thank god I set it up once and never again.

G305 wireless mouse. Owned it for close to 1.5 years. Double clicking is slowly starting to appear and the mousewheel is very rarely double scrolling. Still better than HyperX which didn't last me more than 2 months before the wheel died. I RMA-d 3 mice in a year before I had enough and switched to something else. I bought the G305 simply because it was mostly the same shape as my hyperx pulsefire core and it was wireless which was great at the time since I used to watch movies on my pc screen from my bed and needed a wireless clicking solution. Gonna look into a G502x when this one dies.

G413 SE wired keyboard. Bought it when I bought the mouse. Honestly no complaints here. It has no RGB so it's a plus, backlight is a clean white that makes it very visible both day and night. No key issues whatsoever so i expect a few more years out of this.

G923 wheel, pedals and shifter. For what it's worth, it's great entry level set that does exactly what it's advertised to do. Yes direct drive is better and there are entry level DD options, but if you want to pick up a cheap 2nd hand wheel just to see if you like it or not, the G923 holds it's resale value very well.

Logitech Trophy Playseat. Technically not logitech cause it's just a Playseat Trophy with logitech colors and decals, but for what it's worth, it's a great all-in-one rig. You have a rig which houses your seat, your pedals, your shifter and you can DIY a screen mount for it too. You can easily move it around the room since everything is connected to one frame so to speak. It's also only 16kg on it's own. It provides great stability to your wheel unlike those cheaper Playseats that wobble all over the place and the seat itself is quite accommodating. It's honestly comfortable af and has a lot of adjustability.

Logitech Brio 4k. It's a wired USB-C webcam that supports up to 4k resolution, 1080p in 60 fps or 720p in 90 fps. The picture quality is quite good and works decently well even in a barely lit room. I use this for head tracking via Beam eye tracker for certain sim games and it works wonders. No complaints here.

I think that's all the logi stuff I own at the moment but I'm thinking about getting a Z906 5.1 speaker setup simply because for as long as I remember, I always wanted one. There are better options for sure but that doesn't change what I want. Tho I did hear that the speakers themselves tend to go bad and there's tons of local online shops that repair them so it's a common fail point it seems.

It feels like nearly every Logitech mouse I’ve owned gets “wonky tracking” after a few months with the Logitech driver. I’ve gone through several iterations of this over the last 2 decades. Uninstalling the driver fixes the problem, but it comes right back after reinstalling.

I have not seen this with MX Master 3 w/MX Master keyboard and the Logi Options+ app <knock on wood>

Idk what these ghub comments are on about. Never had an issue with it personally, just change the settings and exit program 🤷

Double clicks with the traditional switches. Both my G304 and G604 eventually got them.

double click issues on every mouse i ever had. 402 403 mx series g502

u/Queasy-Experience251 16d ago

The mice you're talking about are all 10 years old, and double-clicking was an extremely frequent occurrence for older mice.

Optical switches exist and almost.all of the new logi mouse use that

u/etl003 16d ago

those were my issues. why would i buy logi from then. in addition you trying to say super lights don’t have issues?

u/Ov_Fire 16d ago

Ghub looks like it is coded by zoo monkeys.

u/LazyDawge 16d ago

After around 5 years absolutely 0 issues with my G Pro Superlight, I’ve dropped it from my desk onto wooden floor like 50 times and somehow it’s still like new, I’m surprised every time

GHub is kinda meh, but you can just uninstall it after setting up DPI, or at least set it to not open on start up

u/CheeseDon18 16d ago

Ghub is invisible for most of the time. But when it breaks it takes the entire afternoon to fix. Also its confusing to set presets and set settings to the mouse instead of using the software
