Will this include the microswitches on their trackballs that fail after like 18 months?

And cut off the revenue from keeping selling those trackballs? Are you crazy?! I really hate that I have to consider those things wear items but they’re otherwise good enough I do.

Now all they need to do is open-source their software. I’ve always liked their mice and over 25 years I’ve only had a single mechanical failure, but their software has been craptacular, either buggy or just a pain in the ass to use.

Wonder if I’ll be able to get new switches for my mouse. They’re starting to get a little sticky sometimes, though at this point I should probably just get a new mouse. I’ve been using the same one since 2004…

Good news, though Logitech mouses are so good that I wouldn’t have thought there would be that much demand.

The wheel stopped working on my ancient (2007) Logi mouse a little while ago, then started working again. By that time I’d decided to replace it anyway so have a shiny new MX Master and it’s great.

I was able to fix my Logitech mouse’s wheel with parts from AliExpress. Took a month to ship from China, but it’s still an option.
