    Google is the only brand I know of where people go out of their way to own the hardware but do everything in their power to avoid the software.

    Wait, no. Razor… Razor exists. NO ONE’S MOUSE NEEDS A DAILY DRIVER UPDATE!

      Fuck Razor mice. They can’t do a mouse wheel right without it slipping backwards when scrolling. Garbage.

      Their earbuds are good tho. So far.

          Logitech I guess. There is the mousereview subreddit if you want to research some alternatives. Don’t know if there is a Lemmy community equivalent.

            I just tossed my fancy Logitech headset after only 3 years. My kid’s mouse was double clicking after less. And G Hub makes Razer’s software look like poetry.

            I was a die hard Logitech fan since I was a kid. I bought shares.

            Done with them.

              Don’t think Razer software will be that much better. After trying razor I am now on a g502 x lightspeed. I really hope these new switches address the double-clicking issues for good.

                Lol the g502x lightspeed is the last piece of Logitech hardware I own. About half the time on wake it gets stuck at 0.5fps. The other day a software/firmware bug made it stop reporting clicks and I had to reboot my PC. It’s good hardware but something is very wrong with either the firmware or G-Hub.

                Why is all gamer equipment garbage?

          That’s the model that the mouse wheel kept slipping.

          Anything really I’m using some brand that has a ship as a logo that I got for like $5 clearance from Walmart that’s been pretty good. Not super fancy but has all 5 buttons and a button for quick change of sensitivity (which I’ve never got used to, I grew up on Ball nice, I have to remind myself that I got side buttons).

          I can recommend Keychron M3, it’s really a steal for its price. Been using it since the release day for Mac, Windows and Linux and I had zero issues

      It’s not like that in all areas. It’s the exact opposite for their phones. Pixels are trash quality hardware with great software.

      Google is just a massive disappointment in 2023…

        I was one of the lucky ones with my 6, I will admit… but I’m not up for another round. I’ll be an Asus boy in two years if they’re still playing a good game, or maybe a Linux phone and keep my 6 as a backup for more proprietary crap if I’m really feeling frisky.

        That doesn’t quite line up when you consider how popular it is to buy a Pixel just to flash GrapheneOS on it.
