I avoid buying games with always on DRM. So I'm not sure why Razor thinks my hardware needs it too...

And they're still forcing shops to sell their terrible plastic crap at ridiculous prices. Sorry Razer, folks on my end has already ascended to a better, quality brand like Corsair. And we don't need useless features where it'll just fail miserably.

Razer. The most overpriced, over hyped, and especially OVERRATED company, with extremely low quality products.

Im not saying the Logitech G900 is a badass mouse, But the Logitech G900 is a badass mouse

(Logitech please pm me so i can send you my account details for payment)

Sorry to break it down for you, but Logitech is next in line with very low quality products. Without no exception, ALL Logitech products I have own failed in one way o the other. Lower sound on a right speaker, coil whine on 3, yeah three mice with 2 breaking down buttons and double clicking after only 3-4 months of usage, unresponsive keyboard buttons, etc.

In my list of proper quality peripherals, Corsair is leading the pack. Razer & Logitech are sharing the same spot at the bottom of the list, for failing miserably at the build quality department. As always, CNC machined aluminium body > cheap ABS plastic shell.

Sorry to break it to you but ive used many many logitech products since i became a fledgling pc enthusiast back in the skt 939 days and i used logitech k&m's exclusively till about 2-3 years ago where i ditched my logitech keyboard for a mechanical by corsair then later on duckyshine. All the logitech products i have bought over the years are still working apart from one G500 which died when I spilt my tea on it. I have purchased so many logitech products over the years. I even had one of their gaming headsets back in the day and my z5500 shows no sign of suddenly kicking the bucket.

Maybe you need to treat your products with a little tlc

@FreedomEclipse or you're just super lucky getting a good batch. IMO, anything that uses cheap plastic and shows potential signs of failing in the first 6 months is either hit or miss. If it's a miss, you're one lucky fella. Otherwise, expect it to break both your heart & wallet. Brands like Razer has failed my expectations when it comes to build quality & QC.

I dunno, Anything ive used from Logitech has been quality made.

Theres a thread back in 2010 where i posted what logitech stuff I used or owned -- Obviously add G500(x2 - spilt tea on one) G502 and G900 to that list.

Never had an issue with build quality. A lot of the mouses i bought off amazon so I didnt walk into a brick and mortar store, had a look at it before deciding i wanted to buy it. My G7 is still working but battery packs only last 1hr on a full charge and im not sure where i put the wireless dongle.....

Logitech has been hit and miss with me. Their higher end stuff has been pretty solid in my experience, but the lower end stuff hasn't. I've got high end keyboards going back to the G15, and not one has failed me. The G15 is still hooked up and working now actually, it was my favorite keyboard up until I switch to mechanical last year. I've had good experience with their high end mice too, the only one I had a problem with was a G700 that developed the double click issue. But all the others I've had have worked flawlessly and I still have an MX700 that sees almost daily use.

On the other hand their cheap stuff does tend to die quickly, but you can't really expect much from a $20 keyboard and mouse combo(although a lot of those have really outlasted my expectations too).

HA! that G700s double click was so annoying, they seemed to have fixed it since. I havent had an issue with anything from Logitech, I consider that fortunate. The only issues I ever had with Logitech was with its LGS software.

Oh and add a G700s to that list... i had it for 6 months before i upgraded to 900. G700s served me very well.
