And so the tariff impacts continues.
You must log in or register to comment.
Canada price is up like the US price, unacceptable.
Because we’re physically attached to those fucking morons, our prices for everything will also go up. I hope every Canadian remembers this.
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.
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.
If it helps, you can 3D print your own hardware nowadays
I need a new one of those little dongles, where can I find the STL?
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.
I have no personal experience with it, but you might be interested in this completely open source mouse:
https://github.com/ploopyco/mouse
It looks like you can buy a fully assembled mouse, a build it yourself kit, or do it from scratch with the schematics. Doesn’t come with quite as many side buttons though
Interesting. It’s a start at least.
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
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
I’m just glad i got my computer upgraded before all this tariff shit.
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.
Red dragon stuff is pretty ok, just saying.
Thanks conservatives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters.
You’re reaaaaaal smart. Give yourselves a pat on the back.
Downvote for 3rd party.
Every party more is important as to not give any party full control.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.

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

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.

The MX Master 2S fared better than one MX Master 3 and the 3S I got from an RMA…
The surface is already getting gummy.
My mouse is now worth 25% more?
Suck it, Bitcoin!
Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence
Whew… The F310 is still $19.99.
Had me worried for a second.
Waiting for a company to loudly raise their prices.
“YEEHAW!! Lord Trump is bravely losing to the Chinese so we’re passing that loss on to YOU!”
You didn’t seriously think China or Logitech was going to pay that tariff, did you? Be prepared for a LOT of stuff to cost more.
