Logitech bricked my favorite headset because they pushed a firmware update without asking that failed to install. The headset was working perfectly fine, and now the receiver is bricked. Out of warranty by a few months when it happened too.
What the Hell could it possibly ever even need a firmware update for?! The vast majority of headsets aren't even physically capable of having firmware (because they connect using 3.5mm analog audio jacks), let alone receiving an update for it!
To communicate with the newer and significantly worse version of their desktop software, I guess :)
I have used a Logitech speakers, keyboard, and mouse for years as well. Will not buy Logitech when I have to replace those. As much as I loved the headset and the mouse (G502 lightspeed), I can't continue to use peripherals that are dependent on such awful software.
