You mean the evolution of the logi, right ?
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.
tbh i like the new logi branding
Absolutely, there is nothing wrong in the newer branding.
The newer one is definitely more fun or less serious, while the older ones lacked that aspect. :-)
This is what they had before, which I see as lighthearted and whimsical.
If your source of fun comes from font choice on your (badly) shortened name, then that’s…not a lot of fun in my mind.
I have a trackman marble with the old logitech logo. Nostalgia
I still have one of the old whitish PS2 wired track-rats in my 'tech graveyard ’
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.
Fascinating, this is practically archeology.
You call this archeology?
How did you lose your mouse not once, but twice!? Kinda impressive
I mean, it’s over the course of a decade
That doesn’t explain it at all for me. I’ve never lost a mouse, even wireless ones, and I’m pretty sure you’d have a hard time finding someone less organised than me. Any idea about how they got lost? I’m in no way saying you’re dumb or anything like that, just interested in the details. How and where did you find them? It’s a cool thing!
The first one I found after moving, the second I legit just forgot I put it in my old backpack
They make ones with wires that are harder to lose.
If I got a nickle…

You can see the logos getting worse, in my opinion. I absolutely hate the trend of oversimplifying logos.
Yeah, devolution rather.
Eh I would agree but the first one is a weak sub par logo regardless, even if the trend didn’t change it deserved and update. I think the middle one is inoffensive and good, the third one is very grandpa learning the gangnam style dance. Today.
deserved and update
Ok, I really don’t want this to come across as anything other than curious so please know I just genuinely want to know.
Was “and” deliberately put there or is it just a typo? I see this quite often online and would love to know if I’m seeing a change in language or maybe a regional difference or if it’s just autocorrect.
It’s such a same though to throw away that uniqueness. It would have been interesting to instead have a skilled firm do an evolution of the original.
If it was a trick to do, could be applied to iphones too
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.
Same here. The M720 is the best general purpose they’ve come up with. Now they need to improve it.
Soldering in new switches doesn’t take very long on Logitech mice. I gave the last one I had replaced under warranty to my son and he soldered in a replacement in about 15 minutes and hasn’t had any issues with it since.
G502 here. I only had to replace it once due to me spilling Guinness all over the poor thing!
Lucky 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
Still rocking my 2012 one.
I use the same nice for home and work. Most other mice feel too small in my hand. Batteries last for months too.
I’ve got a Logitech Pebble. It’s not the most comfy for extended use, but is sleek alongside my laptop. I can’t remember when I bought it, but I haven’t had to replace the single AA it came with since I got it!
Edit: According to Amazon, I got it almost exactly 1 year ago! Admittedly, I don’t use it nearly as much as my G502 which needs recharging a couple times a week.
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 got some random POS for $10 that has 2 thumb buttons for forward and back. I think it also has the left/right wheel clicky action that I never use because that shit is awkward.
How’s the weight on that one though? The one I got has weights you can add/remove, but even with all of them in it’s light as shit. I want it to be more weighty.
G502. Hefty, lots of buttons, CHUNKY metal wheel, weights, everything you need. Can find wired ones on sale between 25 and 40 bucks.
I’ve replaced the pads on mine a couple times, the rubber on the thumb rest has a hole worn it it to the plastic, and the braided cable is all frayed and stuff. I’ve had the thing for the past 10 years at least. I know new ones are that cheap and that I should just get a new one at this point but the thing is just a workhorse.
I got all inspired by this post, and took a shot of some of the Logitech mice I have around here.
The red one (MX510) seemed so sleek and advanced in its day, and now is…large. And lumpy. And the logo is actually attached.
The M720 is the best of them. I wish they’d update it.
been using m720 for over 2 years. absolutely love this mouse for the price point
I did this with umbrellas. I now own a matching umbrella for each clothing combo.
