Yet if you use an N64 controller or MX518 from the old days, they will still work as they were brand new. It's insane that we went backwards in reliability to this extent. Least there's a light at the end of the tunnel with Hall sensors for Joysticks and Optical Switches for mice. We just need more companies to use them. And yea, Razor has a pretty bad reputation. I did try Razor in the past but had to return them. Not because of reliability reasons but due to the way they felt. They seemed to be optimized for a claw grip which is something I don't do where as logitech mice is good for all sorts of grips. |
True its frustrating because it can be easily avoided so easily too by the manufactures, by using quality components. Though manufacturers these days like to penny pinch and cheap out and go with the lower tier stuff. Personally, I'd definitely pay more a peripheral with quality components and switches rather than a cheaper one that breaks down after 12 months. It almost feels these are made for planned obsolescence as a factor in their design/s :/
Its a bit of a shame because besides that Logitech has been my go-to for PC stuff. And I really like my 502's. There's something about its shape, the arrangement of buttons and how many of them make it such a versatile mouse. I'm hoping they'll iterate on it with a successor. Maybe a lighter more refined shape and ofc better switches.
I had 2 Razor mouses and both died on me. Never had any other manufacturer mices do that lol so there that. But yeah they are usually quite slim or small and the premium ones like the Viper Ultimate are quite tiny and designed to be used with claw/finger grip.. which is fine for competitive but uncomfortable when just using normally for anything other than gaming.
