rant about Logitech

If you're not in the mood to read a rant....thee hast been warned.

Ok, a while back I seriously considered replacing my Logitech headset with one with better battery life. I decided against it.

What really chafes my ass even worse (first world problem admittedly) is the crappy buggy software that comes with it. Turning volume up and down is a trial-and-error process, which it should NOT be. It should be really easy. Dead simple.

So, I finally got pissed off enough (cue grumpy old man) to write a old fashioned paper letter to the CEO of Logitech, who is in Switzerland. He (or one of his aides) will get it in probably one to two weeks.

Granted, I might have wasted my time. I damn sure feel better, though. IF THE CEO OF LOGITECH DOES NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT PRODUCTS, then all hope is lost.

I've written corporate CEO's before, and I've actually gotten results. SOME CEO's actually care, admittedly for the profit reason. F**** human goodness, it's all about the $$$$$.

/rant off

Have a lovely day, ya'll

Had to get a new one because the Logitech mouse battery insert seems to have a basic flaw in it. The one I got with its keyboard has a sloping insert for the battery and the damn thing just kept failing to have enough tension in it. Looking at my rack of old electronic crap I keep in a box, I noticed that I have 3 old Logitech mouses that I've collected over the years as I replaced computers.

with the computer mice too that I ordered from them. You'd be chasing the thing all over the place trying to control the arrow, couldn't click on anything to view on the web and just really not worth the money they cost.

Went back to Microsoft.

They replace things that are defective, in my experience. Just a data point

I will definitely buy their products again..


What is wrong? Maybe I can help you figure it out.
