Aside from certain mice, office keyboards and video conferencing stuff, Logitech is trash. Especially when it comes to flight sim and simracing hardware.

G Hub ist the single most terrible software I have ever used. I mean, it feels like a prank to use it.
Gotta say, I've always been blown away by how easy it is to connect Logitech stuff to their little multi-device dongles.
Recently started trying out the Flow feature and I'm a lot less blown away, but the dongle thing is plenty enough for me. I give them a thumbs up.
I just want their MX keys and MX mouse to fucking switch computers together when you press the button on the keyboard. I don't know why that's so much to ask but apparently it is.
Yeah, same as Steelseries, Razer, etc. why do I need to install a video capture and social sharing program just to get chat mix feature to work with my headset? I haven't had a Logitech gaming device in a bit, but it was bad when I did, probably worse now.
I had a really great experience with Logitech support several years ago that made me feel good about buying their stuff. But, in the years since then, my mouse randomly changing DPI all the time and my headset microphone randomly getting stuck on mute have worn me down.
I had to resolder the switches on my G Pro Wireless. I absolutely love the mouse but they use pretty much the cheapest Omron switches they can, unless that's changed recently.
Was surprisingly not terrible to take apart and reassemble but you do have to pull off the adhesive-applied low-friction sliders at the bottom, so I would recommend buying replacement ones if you find yourself in that situation. Doesn't help that I also had a $150 mousepad that goes with it that's proprietary to specific Logitech gaming mice.
For what it's worth I only did it because I absolutely love the mouse and setup; I love the design and weight plus the convenience of a low-latency wireless mouse that literally never runs out of battery.
I bought an OG MX518, once, because it’s that good and it’s lasted (plzplzplzdontdie).
I installed Setpoint, once, because it’s that bad.
