    I would buy a G5 every few years until the end of time if they still made them. Profit clearly isn’t the driving motivator of the post capitalist world we inhabit.

    And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.

    honestly if they still make the only mice that don’t look like a gaming router they might still have me … on the second hand market at least.

      I’m the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It’s not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn’t any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn’t selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

      Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?

        I did have my roccat keyboard die on me after less than a year, but all I had to do was send them a picture of it with the cable cut and they sent me a be one.

        Basically none, if you want user friendly macro and layers your basically stuck to windows. That or your doing bullshit jank that barely works, breaks frequently and requires way too much effort for no good results.

        Its one of the better examples of Linux being dog shit at being user friendly.

        The most common excuse I see is it’s not safe and secure so it’s not supported. Or you need to just use an abandoned app from a random GitHub that’s 9 years old only works on x11 and requires a blood sacrifice.
