Logitech changing focus from PC to Mobile

This makes me quite sad/angry since Logitech has really fallen from their original focus. I've felt the downwards spin ever since they released LGS 8.40.43 for all of their gaming devices & forced the change from Setpoint to LGS with some of their gaming devices. It's a shoddy piece of software that doesn't provide all of the former capabilities of the older versions of LGS while running in Windows 8. They have yet to produce a fixed version since December 2012.

I have the G9x gaming mouse & G19 LCD gaming keyboard, which I both love dearly for great performance & features. I'm not sure what brands I'll choose when they break...

:/ PC is dying? Really? I hate these fucking tech blogs. Whatever, plenty of other brands to take the throne. I need nothing other than my G9x from them, I better stock up on replacement parts though.

 

[CrimsonKnight13]

Yeah, I thought that part was BS, too. I think most tech sites are brainwashed & react like a school of fish to whatever the big sharks (corporations) want them to do or say.

Meh, there are better choices out there. I used to be a Logitech guy until I discovered Steelseries mice and mechanical keyboards...

My main concern is finding a future replacement for the G19 when the time arrives. Are any input device manufacturers making LCD-equipped keyboards?

Ya, PC is dieng.. why consoles now are using PC based parts...the console is dieing, mobile market is huge and it is where the money is at if you can compete but there is still a huge computer market out there.

Mobile market is a monopoly that no one else can get into. It's completely taken over by Google and Apple, even Microsoft struggles to get it's foot in the door and Blackberry is being slowly pushed out.

I don't kind them "focusing" on mobile so long as they don't stop making PC gear. I've loved just about ever Logitech component I've ever owned. I will shed a tear if they stop making toys for the PC side.

Yup, but now even google is worried about samsung taking over android since they have %40 of the market now.

Mobile is insane, everyone needs / wants a cell phone.. not the same for a desktop or console.

Damn, haven't owned anything but Logitech mice for more than a decade. Hope they don't stop making gaming mice. Someone would probably step in and fill the gap, true, but who needs the uncertainty?
