Logitech's biggest failure

"I think they went with the removable option to sell powerplay mousepads" Friend, I don't think a mouse that lasts over a month on a single battery, which is replaceable in seconds, is going to sell any significant amount of powerplay mousepads.

At this point steelseries has a good shot at a comeback

Honestly the removable battery is better, you can have one in mouse and second ready charged on standby -> 5 second recharge and when it eventually goes bad, you can just change the battery and not the whole mouse. I don't honestly really understand non removable Lion batteries in apliances.

i don't understand why a lot of people hate AA/AAA battery on pc peripherals, Rechargeable AA/AAA Lithium-Ion battery exist and its really light. with regular built-in battery, if the battery fails, it's not always easy to find the replacement, meanwhile it's easy to find AA/AAA battery and cheaper. then if the battery run out of juice, just change the AA/AAA battery, and recharge the used AA/AAA battery. i still use my Logitech G603, i want to upgrade but all new mouse use build in battery, this makes me hold the upgrade until now

I don't understand of why all the hate about the replaceable battery. It's great folks, trust me on this. Get 2 rechargeable AA battery and you practically have unlimited battery life. No more being tethered to a cable when you're low on battery, just plug a new battery in and charge the other one and you're good to go. And weight wise, i mean come on. 75g with AAA battery is good. You won't notice much going below 80g. And even if you do, i think that having a small weight compromise for unlimited battery life is still a good tradeoff. So yeah, 309 is a good mouse, just misunderstood imho.

I don't understand how they are able to make the g pro x superlight the way it is but just refuse to give the rest of their mouse line up the same treatment. Like seriously, what's stopping them? Are they trying to be quirky? It's giving me the same vibe as when razer refused to make a viper mini pro.

Wtf is wrong with gaming mouse supporting Bluetooth also? I'm waiting for years for a proper Logitech G mouse which I can connect with dongle via Lightspeed for gaming on my PC, and the switching to my Mac for work via Bluetooth. If they made G502 with dual mode, it would be a bestseller

6:20 saying "PLAY WITHOUT LIMITS" while showing their tiny mousepad is crazy

Love how there's no middle ground. Either you get a mouse with a AA/AAA cell slot, or you get an non user replaceable battery entombed within it, that will eventually e-waste the whole mouse, bc trying to change it has great chances of going wrong (yay flat cables). There's no convincing argument to explain why there's no slot/cover to easily reach the battery on any and all modern devices that use them, besides just Planned Obsolescence.

This should've been a screwless hot swap switch socket mod friendly modernized version for $29. It would've sold many millions. If they had supplied free data for 3D printing mods on their website too Logitech would've scored so hard for zero cost to them. Instead we got this nonsense.

I used to main a Logitech m510 and the biggest thing I miss from it was its removable battery / battery life. That thing would last over a year without me having to swap out the 2 eneloop batteries without me ever flipping off the switch. When it did finally run out of battery, recharging was as simple as swapping out for a different pair of eneloop batteries to use for the next year. While I haven’t been bitten by it yet, I keep forgetting to charge my new mouse when I go to bed. I miss not even having to think about it. :(

An easily replaceable battery isn't terrible in itself, though they should've gone for the smaller one. Rechargeable batteries don't have an infinite shelf life, much lower than the optical switches, though the scrolling wheel is usually the point of failure so perhaps they should focus on that.

g100s was beast back in the day, always loved egg mice. my later g203 was great, but when I wanted to try wireless the best they had was the g305 with AA batts... and now when they finally make a new wireless egg it's just a more expensive g305 with g502 aesthetics lmao

Looks like Logimid is staying irrelevant for another year. At least they have the number 1 (best mouse) G502 (with weights installed)

I still prefer a removable cylindrical battery, though. It's not just about the battery life (which most alkaline mice win over lithium mice anyways) but also about its total service life. Two years of constant use and a lithium mouse is basically useless. They could do better with using a AAA battery.

Ajazz is not a joke. The and skyloong make some of the most competitively priced keyboards around, and make Logitech look like actual trash.

As someone with a G903 I never saw the point in the charging mousepad... The mouse won't get lighter and it already only needs to be charged once every few months, and that price tag... it ain't appealing.

I'd rather try hit radiant with a g502 with all the weights in than use that

THB Bluetooth is a good addition, I use the G305 as my portable mouse for my laptop, but my XPS doesn't have full size USB ports anymore, so having the option for Bluetooth is nice.
