Hi All

As well as posting when things go wrong with companies and suppliers i also like to mark when a company has had exceptional service, to wit a small post regarding Logitech.

I brought a G700 mouse from them at the end of 2011, recently it developed a problem where it would simply disappear and generally not work.

I went online to logitech's support site, i had a pleasant too and fro between a logitech representative who went through the general trouble shooting steps, however it was clear that it was a hardware fault.

The representative said that it was a hardware fault, arranged a pre-paid stamp to post the stamp, all that i was required to do was slip the mouse in a padded envelope and go to my local post office. I got confirmation that they received the mouse and it was indeed broken, they then sent out a brand new in the box retail G700 mouse about a week later.

I find that incredible service and thought i would share, will definitely mean i buy more Logitech mice in the future.

Cheers

I've had really good experiences with their support too, I complained about a keyboard not recognising a key press (was a common problem on that particular model) and they sent a brand new keyboard out straight away for me without me having to send the old one back in.

I tend to only Logitech now because I know if I run into any issues, I know I'm covered.

They use to send out a new mouse without you needing to send your defective one back.

Yeah and then people started to scam Logitech, I've seen sellers putting listings on ebay then putting in fraudulent RMA requests and sending the item directly from Logitech to the buyer, ruining it for the rest of the legitimate people.

I used to own a lot of Logitech computer accessories like mice, keyboards, and headsets. I regret not calling them to troubleshoot. They might have sent a replacement or two to me. I stopped buying their products because I found cheaper alternatives but my next mouse and keyboard might be from Logitech. And I say this because this isn't the first time I've read really good things about them. I've read stories like this many times and I had the chance to use a friend's Logitech keyboard and mouse which really impressed me. The quality of their products has gone up considerably since 2004.

that sucks... some people really do need rapid replacement (pros needing stuff for work)

and that is totally not cool to do that to Logitech..

I have a Logitech MX1000 which I bought about 8 years ago. It's still working brilliantly to this day. I had heard of problems with the battery in them, but Logitech to their credit were replacing them without any quibble. I would always recommend their products, but you really need to spend a bit of money to find the quality. They do cheaper mice and keyboards which feel like the're made by somebody else; the difference in quality is immediately obvious.

When my G700 died, don't remember, how but it sort of went weird dead, I just mailed them, told them I had no receipt because I lost in since I bought it at a named store. was told to print an email with a number,and take a picture with the number and mouse, and they shipped me a new one.

Well, my X-350 speakers are mostly dead, but it's beyond its warranty.

When asking for RMA on the G4, I got back a G4 V2.

Not so lucky for the keyboard, but I didn't care.

How good was support for you?

I did it all over email. So no real contact, all they did was ask me to make a copy of my barcode and invoice, I got the replacement maybe a week later.

Hmm, not bad. Nice when companies have great return/refund policies.

A long long time ago, well 1995, I bought my first printer. Was your basic printer which back then costed an awful lot, whereas nowadays would be super cheap.

Anyways, over the years these little rollers that held down the paper, one by one broke off.

So now it's probably been 5 years and I figured maybe if I just contact Lexmark, I could just buy these little clips, Figured they'd be cheap.

Someone from Lexmark said... just give us your address and we'll send you a whole printer replacement, and just put your old one in the box which is prepaid.

Took no more than 3 days and it was at my door. From somewhere in the middle of the USA all the way to Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

I thought that was pretty good service of Lexmark.

Walmart also has an awesome return policy too. Just wish they sold more computer related stuff. Just love them.

But that's because Lexmark had a major printer surplus because no one bought their printers :)

wow, cool! how is the mouse? I'm thinking in getting one! i need a dual (wired/wifi) mouse :D just wanted it was bluetooth but the response time in BT periferics isnt that great anyway

sorry for the slow reply,

It works really well, it has a great weight to it, makes it really good for general and gaming use. The wireless works great too and with the charging cradle it's perfect.

Get it you won't be disappointed.

    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
