Notwithstanding but all of this proprietary bloatware to use your mouse and keyboard properly is BS.

I used logitech mice for years but I finally stopped and I'm glad I did. There's cheaper, better options now.

I moved to the endgame mouse. Specifically the op1we last year, since it has optical switches that can easily be swapped out if problems arise. And there's custom pcbs to be able to use regular micro switches. No need to solder anything.

And the mouse can be easily opened up without ruining the mouse glides, since they didn't put the screw's underneath there like lot of mice do.

And for keyboards I moved to custom keyboards long time ago that have QMK support so I can use VIA or VIAL to set my keyboard and not use the manufacturer programs.

Not for symmetrical mice. Able to be used in left hand. Maybe that's not a big issue for most. SteelSeries used to have an option, but they've dropped off.

yeah I hope more left handed mice get created by the smaller companies in the future

I still love my logitech ergonomic work mouse and keyboard... but dont install anything but the auto-install drivers.
