Current Mouse Repair Progress: The replacement mouse feet I ordered arrived way early and work great. THe batteries should be here next week. I was also having a problem with the wheel clutch behaving erratically so I opened up the mouse and one of the wires to the solenoid that controls the clutch was way loose and infact broke off when I examined it further! a quick re-solder and it was back in place and working great again. Logitech if you had just made a new mouse I would have bought that instead of doing this so thanks a lot.

infernal machines posted:and the product keycard you get with oem or retail copies? that's not your license key, it's a redemption key for a license key, that has exactly the same structure as a license key but cannot be used to actually activate the product and there is no way to tell which license key is tied to which activation key in the license portal. so just throw that poo poo out once you've activated because you'll never use it again and it's not a proof of license in the event of an audit microsoft produced a whole loving lot of training material about those cards for big-box retail employees. detailed isntructions on what the card looks like, what it does, what it is and isn't, etc. the original plan was to try and have the retail employees walk people through setting up a microsoft account right then and there at the register, but that got nixed pretty fast

It asked u: username. password. And that was it. i made a new account every time i logged in(power user)

Sniep posted:why did you change the spelling in my name when you quoted me I'm developing grampa fingers  . I'm lucky I can hit click the "Submit Reply" button without accidentally formatting my computer in the process. Also I feel all of Logitech's quality has gone to crap in the past 8 or so years. I have a Performance MX and its buttons have all worn in addition to the metal trim developing this weird corrosion. The Harmony remote I have is actively trying to self destruct itself in new an unique ways every week (and I baby that thing). I love the fact I spent well over $100 on it when I got it a few years back, and yet the Curtis Mathis remote that came with my parents 25 year old TV still worked until they threw it out. I miss my Intellimouse Explorer. I'd probably still be using it if the scroll wheel hadn't gone all Skynet on me. Microsoft's keyboard and mice were perfect back when and yet somehow they found a way to gently caress that up.

i use this for my media browsin at home and its gotta be the last good thing logitech has made. i gently caress this thing up, constantly forgetting its on my lap only to have it smash into the floor, batteries fly out, etc. but if u put it back together it works just fine of course being logitech they recently took it off the market and introduced a new version that replaces the volume buttons up top with home/back/forward buttons for IDIOTS so now its trash. its a really good keyboard if u just have a laptop stashed behind ur LCD as a "media PC" if ur noticing a pattern u are correct i only buy dumb poo poo for babies

Remember when they started putting "F-Lock" keys on keyboards for a while, and if you didn't turn it on before hitting any of the Function- keys random poo poo would happen?
