Many years ago (I would say around 15), I made a significant investment in a high-end Logitech mouse. I spend many hours a day on a PC, and like the keyboard, I consider the mouse to be a very important tool in my work, so I think it’s worth taking on its economic price in exchange for the substantial improvement that both tools bring to my daily life. And I’m sure my hands and arms really appreciate you doing that.

As I said, it was the top of the range and it was the first time I spent so much money on a mouse, although from the first moment I realized that the investment was worth it, and the short time, I managed to use it, it was without a doubt the most enriching. But yes, you read that right, the experience was quite limited in terms of duration, as it coincidentally suffered a rather violent end (accidental, of course) shortly after purchase. And of course it wasn’t the mouse’s fault, because no device could withstand such a blow.

The first thing that came to my mind after a few minutes of cursing was the possibility of a repair, but when I contacted Logitech technical support, they told me that unfortunately it is not possible, and of course the warranty does not cover damage from shocks, drops, etc. (logically, of course). So, with all the pain in my heart, I had to go through the checkout again and get another similar model, which, yes, I handled more carefully and lasted me a few years.

I told you the story so you can understand why I find this news so overwhelmingly positive. And it is as we can read in The Verge, Logitech has partnered with iFixit to support users’ right to repair. The right to repair, which is recognized as a consumer right in the European Union, makes it possible to significantly extend the life of the device, combat practices such as planned obsolescence and encourage manufacturers to provide their users with all the necessary means to repair your device. .

iFixit began as a website that documented the processes of disassembling and repairing devices, and over time also began selling tools and replacement parts to facilitate these operations. Thanks to its great work, it has become a reference in this regard, which has allowed it to enter into agreements with technology companies such as Microsoft, which translates into huge benefits for its users.

iFixit has had Logitech teardown and repair information available for a long time, but now with this deal The website may also directly offer the replacement parts required to carry out said repairs.. The first phase of this collaboration, which will begin next summer, will offer replacement parts for the Logitech MX Master and MX Anywhere mice, although we understand that the list will expand later, and we hope that this will happen for every mouse. time closest to Logitech G Cloud.
