I love Logitech's peripherals, despite their terrible drivers, but wow, that ad's just awful...

Please no.

No. No please. No no no no no no. This is the worst thing that ever happened.

Well I guess it's not that bad, I'm don't really use Logitech products anymore, after my G400s died. Moved on to bigger (more hand filling) and better (better software) Roccat Kone+.

"Logi" because they're half-assed nowadays.

I like it.

I think someone just dropped the truth bomb.

It's horrible. Just horrible.

🤣 Personally I haven't used one of their products for years either, I just thought the commercial was cool. 🤣

I think that commercial gave me epilepsy.

looks like windows 8 or 10 😀

Sorry man, in this case the 80's are in the eyes of the beholder 😉 It's just some acid colours.

I have an old Logitech keyboard and mouse. I might have to put that old keyboard to use. Got it free brand new, as well as the USB mouse. I don't think I really like the new idea, I think they were just fine. I have another logitech USB keyboard that I currently use (I switch between keyboards) and its decent even though I got it from the garbage.

The modern world needs colour - everything's all black, white, or grey - so I'm with them there. But what's with the flashing? There had to be a subliminal message in there somewhere.

No no, not the colours specifically I meant the combination. Synthy almost hip hop sounding music and some of the clothing is distinctly retro. Specifically the guy with the white shirt and the triangles on it, it's all very early 90's. The colours are also reminiscent of that with the bright yellow, purple, light blue and teal though. Admittedly maybe I jumped at a conclusion but that what it made me think of 🤣.

Also yeah I don't get the flashing either. 🤣

The colors look kind of 1970s to me. I wasn't listening to the audio though.
I'm glad I didn't see "Logi" in that ad, I hope they aren't going to truncate the name like that, it's just dumb.

I've had 2 or 3 Logitech mice over the years, and I've generally been happy with them.
My current mouse is a Logitech G500 which is the fanciest mouse I've ever owned, and I do like it, but occasionally it ticks me off when it's firmware just fails to boot at power on. It sits there blinking the red LED and won't work until I reach back and unplug it from the USB and plug it back in again. It's a damn mouse, not the space shuttle. Power on, it should work, period.
It's not just me, Logitech knows about this problem because they documented it on their tech support site. Their "solution" is to replug the USB cable. "Just reboot it!" isn't exactly the mantra of a quality product.
It's too bad, because other than this ridiculous issue, I really was impressed with the mouse.

From what their website shows, it looks like they're not changing their name so much as re-branding themselves (like when Intel dumped Pentium and "Intel Inside" a few years back) - honestly as long as the few products they make that I still use (primarily their universal remotes) don't change or get abandoned, I don't care one way or another. I agree that ad was just horrible on the eyes...

I can't really say I have bad experience with Logi(tech)'s mice and keyboards, although I always slightly prefered Microsoft's.
Logi(tech)'s gaming periferals I always found lacking in engineering/build quality, their joysticks are rubbish and I owned a steeringwheel that had an internal design flaw, although their past gamepads were actually very good.
And I have a Logitech G35 headset from which after three month or so the leather started to peel off from the cushions. 🙁

I actually like the namechange, though it sounds less businesslike, it saves me to type 'tech' every time, yes I'm lazy, I guess so is Logi. 😁

Oh no. I find this is awful. Now we all once again have to get angry at the new trend and bust chops.
