While I love Logitech I'll never forgive them to have killed the Harmony products, it's so great I can't believe they took that decision
Mildly Interesting
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I got all inspired by this post, and took a shot of some of the Logitech mice I have around here.
The red one (MX510) seemed so sleek and advanced in its day, and now is...large. And lumpy. And the logo is actually attached.
The M720 is the best of them. I wish they'd update it.
been using m720 for over 2 years. absolutely love this mouse for the price point
I will admit their old Some Seeing Eye logo thing doesn't screen print well, and it does have a bit of Windows Vista feel to it, kinda not helped by that gloss coating.
As far as I'm concerned, printing your name in a weird font doesn't even qualify as a logo.
The leftmost one is good - and the full-colour version of it was pretty cool, back in the day.
The middle one is bland, except for the "g" which is dumb.
The right one is stupid, and keeps the dumb g.
Garbage. The graphic designers need to give their heads a shake.
It's interesting how minimalist design also influence the hardware design. Like how glossy the first gen compared the latest gen with matte color.
I have a trackman marble with the old logitech logo. Nostalgia
That’s funny I have the same mouse as you and just bought the newest one. I just don’t have the middle one like you have here.
It was actually a good thing I bought the upgrade. The old mouse on the very far left is barely responsive compared to the new one on the far right. they also developed the software for it to react a lot better. It’s also a lot quieter. Even on the side buttons. and the grip is better as it’s not so shiney to shoot out from under the hand.
The logo/brand devolved, IMO.
Coincidentally(?), their software devolved just as much!
I don’t want to install multiple applications to just use a mouse.
tbh i like the new logi branding
Absolutely, there is nothing wrong in the newer branding.
The newer one is definitely more fun or less serious, while the older ones lacked that aspect. :-)
This is what they had before, which I see as lighthearted and whimsical.
If your source of fun comes from font choice on your (badly) shortened name, then that's...not a lot of fun in my mind.
I can understand losing the dongle (that there's still no standard...) but the mice?
Tbf those particular laptop mice are quite small. I’ve had mine shoot out from under my hand and fall off the desk very easily. It was very slippery. At least the older version was. The latest version has some coating on it to stop it from shooting across the room so easily.

I wonder if America gets worse manufacturing, all the people complaining Logitech mice failing after a couple of years. While mine I have to kill them myself or gift around because they last so much and I like the new cool G series mouse.
Logitech doesn't manufacture anything in America. They moved production from the US, Ireland, and Taiwan to China in 1994.
