Why logitech stopped producing G400s/G400, My MX518 is on its last legs and I want a replacement, that has the same button configuration.

Seeing how it goes for 150$ on amazon means that there is demand for it, why the hell isnt Logitech meeting it?
>>
>>54252164
Because they decided to pander to retarded gaymers instead. Can't blame them really. Companies like Razer and Nvidia make a killing out of doing the same.
>>
Did they stop making the g400(s)? Thats BS of logitech.. I can still buy them in the Netherlands. Infact, I have one an S.

It is shit. My brother bought one and the thing is straight up uncomfortable. The scroll wheel is a massive pain in the ass to click in, and it's only two months old at max. Fuck this stupid mouse.

Logitech is a dying company. Most of their products have been rendered useless by the advent of integrated peripherals and portable computing. You shouldn't expect anything from them.

The Avago sensor used in the G400(s) is flawless. The Pixart sensor used in that has jittering issues. It is in no way better.

I contacted Logitech about my G400s for replacement because the wire was fucked on it.
They said they stopped manufacturing G400s and said they would replace my mouse with the G402 like how they replaced my G400 for a G400s last time I contacted them.

I actually like the button placements a little better, maybe not the front two that used to be where the scroll wheel was but it's fairly comfortable. You'll get used to it.
>>
>>54252678

how long of a warranty do they have?
>>
>>54252709
2 years

If you want a free replacement, all you need is proof of purchase such as an order invoice or receipt and the serial number and if you nag them enough past "yes I tried plugging it into another slot and reinstalling drivers" they'll just send you a new mouse without making you send the old one back

That's some amazing customer service

look up MX518 on aliexpress, its cheper.

That is standard customer service required by law in many countries all over the world.

>>54252164
I never got why they made the mouse on the right looks dented and broken.
>>
>>54252678
It happened very often to me that the cable blocked one of the buttons. They advertise this for gaming, but "in the heat of the battle" shit like that happens way too often.

Also that fucking blinking G needs to be covered when you're sleeping (and have your main running) because it lights up the whole room.

MX518 mustard race

I think G400 could use better side buttons and scroll button. Softer and wider like Intellimouse 3.0's.

Actually, which mouse is the closest to a 3.0 clone with modern hardware and fixed the scroll wheel bug?
>>
>>54252576
Depends on mousepad. They're both flawless on most pads.

G402 is actually bretty gud and weights about the same, I actually prefer the buttons on it.

Though I'd get a Zowie EC1-A or EC2-A if I were in the market for a new mouse because they finally fixed all the issues and are the closest to pure Intellimouse clones.
>>
>Seeing how it goes for 150$ on amazon means that there is demand for it, why the hell isnt Logitech meeting it?
No. It going for $150 on Amazon means that a specific group of people are willing to pay that much.

To start up production again, Logitech would have to aim at selling a certain amount of them to offset initial production costs.

My bet would be the specific group of people willing to pay that much is much smaller than the amount they'd need to sell.
>>
>>54253444
plenty of companies make ambidextrous mice

zowie fk would be a good choice
>>
>>54252332
no u have a bad sensor
>>
>>54253463
To add on to that, the price has gone up so damn much that I could sell it used after two years of use for 2-3x as much as when I bought it new.

>>54253489
Doesn't the G402 have some sort of issue with the sensor or some other thing?

idk, the G502 is considered flawless by ESReality but they're lazy to update their list. You could search test-gear.pl or other reviewers that actually technically review mice for G402.

I just changed the cable on my G400 after four years of use.

I hope it lasts next 4 years.
>>
>>54253360
I'm aware of this.
Logitech's config programs were always shit, and in the case of almost every earlier model completely optional. Also I don't see the use of having another configuration level between driver and OS settings and the peripheral. That's why I don't use it. Things not working out of the box nor being directly configurable (direct in the sense of you don't need to install 'X') is just bad development.

Imagine the dialogue: "Why is this program here running?" "That the mouse doesn't blink so bright." to get a grasp of the absurdity of this situation.
>>
>>54253543
after googling the G402 uses same sensor as G100s which is considered to have flawless tracking
>>
>>54252164
If you don't use the +/- dpi buttons and mostly care about the two side buttons and live in EU.
Go for Mionix Castor. You can get a "used" one on Amazon Marketplace for about 35€ in very good condition.
The castor has the PWM 3310 Sensor, a braided cable, mostly the same layout, nice rubbery finish, RGB lights, Omron switches and good software you don't need to install.
What else could you wish for only about 35€?

If on-board memory actually had more features like repeating macros I'd delete LGS after configuring the device

LGS macros is like user friendly autohotkey, I was surprised how powerful it is. Sometimes LGS has problems detecting the active program, but alt+tab fixes that.

You know what i miss?
My G500s.

Too bad it died within a year, because both razer and logitech make cheap fucking shit to appeal to 13 year olds.

Corsair need to hurry the fuck up and steal the G400/500 design.

What's a decent wireless logitech mouse? Not looking for anything super extravagant, something more midrange with side buttons and is comfortable to use and has a good sensor.
>>
>>54253453
It's not advance exchange. It costs them MORE to process the RMA for a shitty mouse than to just send you a new one. Unintuitive as it sounds, it's cost-cutting, nothing more.
>>
>>54253427
>sensor
>any influence on the lighting

Youre looking for what kind of illumination it has, some are infrared, that does not make them laser mice.

i bet you say your phone has 16gb memory when you mean storage too.
>>
>>54255612
Sensors are probably the least of your worries if it's wireless. Might as well get whatever.
>>
>>54255612
I have a g602 that I got on sale, solid mouse. Hasn't broken in 6 months. Side buttons are useful and easy to click but not misclick. The sensor does not work on bed though, if you're into the ultra comfy bedtop computing.
And I use it for graphic design and other money making computer ventures so yes a wireless gaming mouse is not just for gaming.
