      That’s what I did. Bought new processor, graphics card, monitor OLED wide-screen, all last year. I knew this shit was coming. These pieces will last me well past this orange fuck face.

      Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.

        I hated Canada because of this relationship. I have been asking for a long time for Canada to get some backbone and not rely on the USA for everything. This is finally our time to shine.

        I’m definitely gonna be doing some price research across regions and pre/post Apr 2025 before buying anything from now on. I’m not purchasing product from companies who socializing the US tariff costs to other nations.

    Logitech are fucking dead to me after the shit they pulled with the harmony remotes.

    Don’t @ me about the age of the hardware, it’s the practice they still do today: make hardware dependant on their services, then cripple them when they feel like it. You cannot trust them

        You’re right, red vs blue isn’t the real fight, and the people can’t win until they start acting against the real threat to the people.

        It’s sad you’re being downvoted. The two party system needs to go.

        This is the MX Master 3S from the article (said to be going from 100 to 120$)

        80 Swiss francs today, lowest at 62 (80 chf is around 98$).

            I’ve been using Logitech for decades because it’s Swiss, and good.

            At least it was good, since the ‘Logi’ rebrand they started to follow the enshitification road and apparently they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

            Today I’m not sure my next mouse will be a Logitech, but I’ll cross that bridge when I’ll need a new mouse.

        Depends how they import products. Canada uses a lot of layaways in the US during shipping. There are also big ports in Alaska that are landing spots for items set to enter Canada.

        If those are hit, then they will pass those increases to Canadians.

        It’s going to be key now to cull the US. But I’m seeing HUGE increases in US only pricing. So yeah, not a good start for that shit hole.

            I’m pretty sure that’s due to rare earth metals and China. All I know is it likely won’t be a blanket increase like most think.

      Can I 3d print something like the g602 mouse? I can solder components together and do a little programming if need be but designing something like that is way over my head. Not being able to find a replacement for that thing is killing me.

        Try the Statial B. You can adjust it to meet almost any shape you need.

        Note, it can be printed with an FDM, but it’ll need a 0.2mm nozzle and really good tuning. Some of the parts were a pain to print for me

        https://github.com/PyottDesign/Statial-b

        My main complaint is that the Statial B only has 2 thumb buttons, and I’d prefer to have at least 4. I’ve considered modifying the design of the relevant plate, but there’s still the issue of not having ports to wire the switches to the raspberry pi it runs on.

        I also have a ploopy mouse like the other commenter mentioned. It’s definitely not a replacement for a G602 (that’s also the mouse I used before switching to open source), but it gets the job done. I just need to buck up and finish assembling the Statial B

          That is really cool. I think there’s ways to get more switches on one port on Arduino but I don’t remember for sure.

            To tell the truth, I over simplified the description of why it’s difficult. Part of the assembly is a couple of custom PCBs, one of which holds ports for cables that go to each button. That custom PCB is technically what runs out of room, though the side plate that holds the thumb buttons is also limited in space

              Yeah, that’s all beyond my abilities to figure out. Looking at my 602 it looks like the side buttons have their own board which is connected to the main board via ribbon cable. I thought it might be possible to do something similar with this one but I don’t know enough about electronics/mechanical engineering to figure that on my own. It’s still a really cool project though.

        I also own two vertical mices, their most expensive ones. They are built like shit and ive had to replace switches multiple times. I moved to protoarc trackball for everything but gaming. I will be replacing my logi with keychron m5 as its “premium material” has completely disintegrated in like 5 years and its just nasty.

        Google “Logitech mouse double clicking”. If you don’t get top of the line, good chance you’ll be double clicking in 6 months of moderate use.

          I hear about this a lot, but I feel like it must be a problem with newer models. I have a G502 from 2016 (pre-logo change) that gets heavy office/gaming use 8-10 hours most days and still works perfectly. The metal scroll wheel is pretty corroded though.

            It’s hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.

        Gonna call bullshit on that one. I’ve been using the G502 for years and I like the feel of it. I’ve gone through 3 and keep a spare in box for when it starts to double click. The X has been chugging for a couple of years now, but I’ve used a lot of mice, I really shouldn’t have to spend $80 to get a mouse that lasts more than 6 months.

        Still, they absolutely want to force people to a monthly fee.
