Logitech hardware used to be good, but even that's gone to shit. Got tired of their awful mechanical mice switches failing and switched to a Razer mouse with optical switches, no regrets.
Razer might actually fit better in this meme.
Has razer hardware gotten better? I stopped buying after 2 of their mice stopped working just after the warranty expired.
Razer hardware is pretty good, but the death adder definitely has a shelf life. The scroll wheel goes soft and the click switches go bad but that's fixable.
The software is hot steaming dogshit. No other description fits. It'll work fine for a few months or a year but then it starts crashing regularly for no reason. I tried a firmware update on my black widow 2012 and it bricked it. While searching for help, I discovered it was A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HADN'T BEEN FIXED IN 2 YEARS. They jerked me around about the warranty and I raised enough hell that they RMAd it with a newer black widow. I bought the 2012 edition purposely because it was blue and the new one was green so I was miffed about that, but it's held up and is still my current emergency backup keyboard. It can deal with generic drivers though. Synapse will never touch my pc while I'm alive and I'm never giving razer another cent.
Not sure recently, had the same issue and busted 2 deathadders within 12 months of purchase. The clicker had a little stem to push the switch which cracked off. Ended up getting a zowie next and haven't had any issues.
OG razer deathadders lasted forever had one and it never failed me, I made an investment to get the deathadder v3 pro and I love the thing, I'm hopping it lasts as long.
I am really enjoying my naga pro have had no issues with it.
