I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.

This is the MX Master 3S from the article (said to be going from 100 to 120$)

80 Swiss francs today, lowest at 62 (80 chf is around 98$).

I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too...

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ve been using Logitech for decades because it’s Swiss, and good.

At least it was good, since the 'Logi' rebrand they started to follow the enshitification road and apparently they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

Today I’m not sure my next mouse will be a Logitech, but I’ll cross that bridge when I’ll need a new mouse.

But Logitech software is already terrible.

Germany

Waiting for a company to loudly raise their prices.

“YEEHAW!! Lord Trump is bravely losing to the Chinese so we’re passing that loss on to YOU!”

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

If my company was directly impacted by Tariffs, you can bet your ass it would say "Trump Tariff surcharge" right on your invoice.

Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.

You're reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.

[–] frostythesnowman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I’m definitely gonna be doing some price research across regions and pre/post Apr 2025 before buying anything from now on. I’m not purchasing product from companies who socializing the US tariff costs to other nations.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I hated Canada because of this relationship. I have been asking for a long time for Canada to get some backbone and not rely on the USA for everything. This is finally our time to shine.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 16 points 1 month ago

Logitech are fucking dead to me after the shit they pulled with the harmony remotes.

Don't @ me about the age of the hardware, it's the practice they still do today: make hardware dependant on their services, then cripple them when they feel like it. You cannot trust them

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's what I did. Bought new processor, graphics card, monitor OLED wide-screen, all last year. I knew this shit was coming. These pieces will last me well past this orange fuck face.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

Whew... The F310 is still $19.99.

Had me worried for a second.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Logitech was already overpriced and poor quality.

[–] Auzy@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I own 2 of their vertical mouses

There aren't really many alternatives readily available

The hardware has gotten a lot better, but they're really not targeting the high the market anyway

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA...
The surface is already getting gummy.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its "premium material" has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, my old logi from pre 2010 are nice but now jts just low quality overpriced stuff with switched that constantly fail.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Google "Logitech mouse double clicking". If you don't get top of the line, good chance you'll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.

[–] Impleader@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

It's hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Red dragon stuff is pretty ok, just saying.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

I got secret santa'd a Red Dragon mechanical Keyboard and ended up buying a matching mouse & speakers.

I recommend them to anyone who asks.
