        Capitalism happened. Designed to fail.

        EVGA hardware sucks balls

        Corsair hardware sucks balls

        Razor hardware sucks balls

        Logitech hardware sucks balls

        Oddly enough, the only mouse that I’ve NEVER had issues with is a 5$ chinese MMO mouse with zero software or ‘fancy crap’ embedded. It just works. That mouse is now $50 for some reason.

          Definitely capitalism. These companies are under constant pressure from shareholders to increase profits year over year.

          Once they can’t increase profits by growing the market share anymore, they increase it by making their products shittier.

            FYI many of Corsair’s PSUs are just their branding slapped on a different company’s part (made for them obviously), so some are okay to good, and some are trash

            Edit: To be clear I use a ton of Corsair products (RAM, AiO, KB+M, Case, Fans) so not shitting on them, though their software is absolute dog shit tier. iCue will randomly disappear from my system every so often, only for all the files to still be there…but no executable.

            Most of their products are produced in places like China but their RAM is still produced in Taiwan and high quality

          Have to disagree on EVGA. I’ve purchased a lot of their hardware and any time I had an issue their support and RMAs were great. I’m really sad they got out of the video card business.

            You disagree that they have hardware issues because they handled your return well when you had… hardware issues?

              I have had probably 5 of their video cards and 4 or 5 of their power supplies. I’ve had one video card die a month before the 3 year warranty was up, and they sent me a much more powerful card as a replacement. That’s good service.

              I’ve had one power supply die and they cross shipped me a replacement, had it 3 days later.

              Nothing is bulletproof, components fail. It’s how the company handles it that matters, to me.

                That means they have good customer service, but surely you see that every example is more data for the OPs claim that the hardware isn’t up to snuff yeah?
