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.
I have to say i own a decent amount of Corsair hardware (kb+m, RAM, SSD and PSU), and none has ever given me an issue. Most of it I got a few years back so maybe that was before they declined?
Compared to Razer, where I’ve owned 3 mice and all of them failed one way or another. Decent keyboards though.
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.
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?
Their hardware is also garbage. My MX Anywhere 3 lasted only two years. I had no brand Chinese mice that lasted longer.
sweats in 1 yr 10 mos of ownership What happened to it?
Capitalism happened. Designed to fail.
EVGA hardware sucks balls
Corsair hardware sucks balls
Razor hardware sucks balls
Logitech hardware sucks balls

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.

Yes I did a decent amount of research on their PSUs, I managed to get one with a pretty solid reputation.
And I’m on Linux and use a community made software suite called CKB-Next, so I haven’t had to deal with iCue in a couple years thankfully

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