• @interolivary Logitech build quality was never a problem. The problem with Logitech, and most of the gaming brands, is their software which is utterly shit.

    That Logitech F710 has never received a firmware update or even a driver update.
    I’ve had some Logitech mice and keyboards is always the same story. They trend to work better without their software than with the “Logitech G suite” installed.

    Same applies to Corsair, NZXT, Razer, Asus (Armory Crate) and many more.

    • I mean, the build quality isn’t a problem for terrestrial use where your life doesn’t depend on it. A 1% failure rate (I don’t know what it actually is, just pulling a number out of my ass) is not bad in those cases, but I’d be a bit nervous about it in a sub.

      • @interolivary Again their products are reliable. I’m still using some Logitech X-540 on my desktop PC and they still sound incredible.
        Now when you move to devices that require software like mice and keyboards, there’s not gaming brand that does that good or even “acceptable”.
        Even the Xbox controller had an issue in Steam were it used to fulfill your hard drive with screenshots. Microsoft had to release a driver update.
        Again gaming devices have lots of software issues.

        • @interolivary There’s a middle point that I share with you.
          They shouldn’t had used a device make for consumers. They should engineered a controller that could stand harsh uses like military or scientific purposes.

          Also, pardon my language, who in the fuck thinks that’s a good idea to use a controller that uses an old technology like WiFi 2.4GHz and only batteries, no USB cable.
          A device for those purposes should be wired and with Half Dome sticks (which prevents drift).
