I lost my mouse a couple times and bought an exact replacement, then found the old one. You can see the evolution of the logo

Logitech is a good name for computer peripherals. Logi sounds like underwear or something.

You can see the logos getting worse, in my opinion. I absolutely hate the trend of oversimplifying logos.

Soon it will be "log", then "lo", and finally "l".

I wish Logitech and all the other big peripheral companies would lose the software. They usually make your keyboard extremely annoying colors unless you install their crap

I've also been buying this same mouse. Once I saw a new one in the store and went, "Wow! They have it in dark gray!", and bought it. Turns out the old one at my computer was already dark gray.

From somewhat detailed and recognizable, to just the name, to not even the name. Their next logo will be a single "L", not stylized in any way.

The logo/brand devolved, IMO.

Coincidentally(?), their software devolved just as much!

I don’t want to install multiple applications to just use a mouse.

Logitech M510, the most recent two are 2020 and 2022. The first is probably circa 2012

You mean the evolution of the logi, right ?

sadly I'm not gonna buy Logitech mice anymore until they finally fix the damn double click problem that happens after a year of ownership.

On a side note, anyone have any sub 50 dollar mouse recommendations?

How did you lose your mouse not once, but twice!? Kinda impressive

I've basically done this over a similar timeframe with the M590.

Fun fact: In Japan, Logi used to be called Logicool. Because there's already a local company called Logitec.

Fascinating, this is practically archeology.

I forgot how much I liked the old Logitech logo. Make me remember my old MX518.

I use the same nice for home and work. Most other mice feel too small in my hand. Batteries last for months too.

I wonder if America gets worse manufacturing, all the people complaining Logitech mice failing after a couple of years. While mine I have to kill them myself or gift around because they last so much and I like the new cool G series mouse.

Cool find, thanks :)

I remember having a Logitech MX5000 laser mouse, Bluetooth version. Thing rocked. Had it so long, used it so much, I literally wore a hole through the plastic on the left button.

I would love to have another one... By the time it gave up the ghost, they had long been discontinued. I was able to get the RF version somewhere, but it fucking sucked! The BT never lagged or disconnected or anything but the RF one was basically unusable. I haven't even ever found a mouse similar enough that I liked. Nothing has the contour, the weight, and the buttons. I might get 1 of those 3 but not all 3.

I got all inspired by this post, and took a shot of some of the Logitech mice I have around here.

The red one (MX510) seemed so sleek and advanced in its day, and now is...large. And lumpy. And the logo is actually attached.

The M720 is the best of them. I wish they'd update it.

I still have one of the old whitish PS2 wired track-rats in my 'tech graveyard '

Hah mine has recently stopped working well and I been looking for a replacement. Should I just get the same one?

I've stuck with M705 for many years. It's simple, but has a button on top that lets you swap the mouse wheel from free floating (you can spin it and it spins, very useful for scrolling through long text like logs or code quickly) to the usual click type scrolling.

What is that nonsense on the right?

I did this with umbrellas. I now own a matching umbrella for each clothing combo.

I will admit their old Some Seeing Eye logo thing doesn't screen print well, and it does have a bit of Windows Vista feel to it, kinda not helped by that gloss coating.

As far as I'm concerned, printing your name in a weird font doesn't even qualify as a logo.

The leftmost one is good - and the full-colour version of it was pretty cool, back in the day.

The middle one is bland, except for the "g" which is dumb.

The right one is stupid, and keeps the dumb g.

Garbage. The graphic designers need to give their heads a shake.

That’s funny I have the same mouse as you and just bought the newest one. I just don’t have the middle one like you have here.

It was actually a good thing I bought the upgrade. The old mouse on the very far left is barely responsive compared to the new one on the far right. they also developed the software for it to react a lot better. It’s also a lot quieter. Even on the side buttons. and the grip is better as it’s not so shiney to shoot out from under the hand.

I have a trackman marble with the old logitech logo. Nostalgia

It's interesting how minimalist design also influence the hardware design. Like how glossy the first gen compared the latest gen with matte color.

While I love Logitech I'll never forgive them to have killed the Harmony products, it's so great I can't believe they took that decision

If it was a trick to do, could be applied to iphones too
