RIP Logitech Cordless Click! Optical Mouse (2005-2008)
For years, it has been my faithful servant. Opening links and accessing applications, shooting enemy soldiers and issuing orders to units, drawing lines and forming art.
I am, of course, speaking of the greatest piece of technology I have ever owned. The Logitech Cordless Click! Optical Mouse.
That is a picture when it was young and the whole world was in front of it. Purchased somewhere in the market of three years ago, I picked up this lovely mouse in an emergency “My piece of shit Kingston mouse just died and I want to play Call of Duty” Walmart run. Seeking a mouse good for a lefty, I grabbed this gem. It was supposed to be a quick fix, but the quick fix wouldn’t die or prove inadequate. No sir, this mouse fought the good fight. Three years later, here I stand, with my most faithful companion ceasing its functions. The paint in the palm area has faded and there is a distinct patch of white amongst the silver on the left mouse button where my finger generally rests. There is mouse gunk in the scroll wheel. This thing was built to last, and it did.
My experience with the Logitech Cordless Click! Optical Mouse has made me a loyal Logitech Customer, and as a retailer of computer electronics, I evangelize their good name. My keyboard, mouse, speakers and headset are all Logitech and I would feel like a dirty whore to use a different brand peripheral. (Unless I happened upon some Bose speakers, then I’d have to be a disloyal trecherous dog. No offense Logitech, I love you).
Also, my Logitech corded media keyboard is currently 7 years running. All I can say to Logitech is I will be making another mouse purchase in the near future because you rock. (a.k.a. Don’t fuck me over Logitech)
