Logitech is a good name for computer peripherals. Logi sounds like underwear or something.
To be fair, the company name is still Logitech, just the logo is shorter. I agree that the middle is probably best aesthetically, except that the logo seemed to fade quickly.
the logi is shorter
buh dmm tss
Its proactive. Its provocative.
It feels like one of those random Chinese 5 letter brand names.
They save ~0.005¢ every time they print it by eliminating all the other letters company-wide.
Soon it will be “log”, then “lo”, and finally “l”.
I love Log!
I wish Logitech and all the other big peripheral companies would lose the software. They usually make your keyboard extremely annoying colors unless you install their crap
their software is also super bloated. How hard can it be to write a mouse driver? 1 GB for a mouse driver???
I swear the side-scrollling wheel on the MX Master is set backwards to how everyone wants it specifically to get people to download the software.
I’ve avoided RGB-lit stuff for everything else, except for my wireless headset. A Logitech G733. In every other respect I love it, but it has bright lights on the front that drain the battery and reflect in my glasses. They default to constantly changing random colors until host software sends a command to control the light. Thankfully there exist tools to control it on Linux (HeadsetControl) but adjustments reset on every power cycle.
The mouse in OP (M510, I’ve had a few of them myself) doesn’t have those problems. There does exist specialized software to manage device pairing for the included “unifying receiver” but it comes by default pre-paired so the software is only particularly helpful for the niche use case of having other wireless logitech devices and wanting to save USB ports by making them all share one receiver.
I got a keychron a while back which has been great and doesn’t need proprietary software to program it. I like some pretty lights on my keyboard but that’s it. Not a fan of PC lights or anything else like that
Solaar on Linux is a godsend
From somewhat detailed and recognizable, to just the name, to not even the name. Their next logo will be a single “L”, not stylized in any way.
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.
Logitech M510, the most recent two are 2020 and 2022. The first is probably circa 2012
I’m a Logitech M720 man myself. I’ve bought at least three over the last few years. They seem to stop working within two years.
G502 here. I only had to replace it once due to me spilling Guinness all over the poor thing!
I use a larger mouse on my desktop (actually have pretty big hands), but I like the small size for carrying around in a laptop bag.
I also have several M510s around, but mostly because the left click stopped working
sadly I’m not gonna buy Logitech mice anymore until they finally fix the damn double click problem that happens after a year of ownership.
On a side note, anyone have any sub 50 dollar mouse recommendations?
Exactly. It’s an easy fix. I haven’t had a mouse break in the last 10 years. The coatings start falling off before the clicks are a problem any more.
Yes, my Logitech mouse, which is great it every other regard, had the left button give out after about of year of very heavy use (StarCraft, not that my APM is that high). With the addition of some superglue and a piece of plastic I’ve been using it for 4 more years, still going strong.
Yeah, Hyperx pulsefire. Got mine for $20 and it’s been great. I did have a g602 but wanted a lighter and wired mouse, and decided to go cheap instead of more expensive like I normally would.
Ah the old double click issue. So it’s mainly the logis that do that ? I thought i was just imagining it. But like others have said I do not have any of those issues with the other brands of mice. Now if I can just find the right silent mouse…

Steelseries mice!!
How did you lose your mouse not once, but twice!? Kinda impressive
I mean, it’s over the course of a decade
I’ve basically done this over a similar timeframe with the M590.
Fun fact: In Japan, Logi used to be called Logicool. Because there’s already a local company called Logitec.
I forgot how much I liked the old Logitech logo. Make me remember my old MX518.
I’ve stuck with M705 for many years. It’s simple, but has a button on top that lets you swap the mouse wheel from free floating (you can spin it and it spins, very useful for scrolling through long text like logs or code quickly) to the usual click type scrolling.
This is my favorite feature on the MX Master mouse, hands down
Hah mine has recently stopped working well and I been looking for a replacement. Should I just get the same one?
If the question is “what mouse should I get for less than $25 that has those little back and forward buttons?” The answer will always be “Logitech M510” in my book
I’m like a JW for this thing. Has anybody shared the gospel of Logitech M510 with you today?
Well it did die in three or so years so I’m wondering if it’s worth getting a more expensive mouse that lasts longer
I did this with umbrellas. I now own a matching umbrella for each clothing combo.
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.
It’s interesting how minimalist design also influence the hardware design. Like how glossy the first gen compared the latest gen with matte color.
