I agree with Linus on the price of the racing wheel. It's bullshit. For the price of the wheel alone I'd expect three pedals and a shifter, not just the fucking wheel. Not only is setting up for a sim racing sesh without a dedicated area for it is a PITA, and not only is this controller set good for 1-2 games, when it costs this fucking much just to get started then you just lose interest.

I disagree. I left simracing scene quite a while ago but from what i heard that logitech wheel was well received. While the price is ridiculous you kinda get what you pay for, at least compared to any other toy showed in that video. Logitech pro racing wheel is not g25/g27/g920 successor, it's in a different category and actually a serious simracing wheel. It's a direct drive wheel which generates around 11nm of force and from what i heard trueforce is not a gimmick if the game supports it. It's made for enthusiasts (aka autists) and for them this is not that expensive. Comparable thrustmaster and fanetec wheels are similarly priced, if not slightly more expensive.

But, lack of competition in PC speaker market? Linus, buddy, look up Edifier. You can get a dope ass 2.1 set at a price of a single entry level studio monitor. MDF enclosures, none of that plastic shit. Only the 5.1 speaker market has no competition, because 5.1 setups are dead for the most part.

Not only is 5.1 dead as a doornail(thanks creative labs), there are dozens of quality vendors to buy equipment from for PC audio. You can get whatever DAC, monitors, amps, speakers, etc. you could want ranging from tiny bookshelf speakers to floor standing monsters. drop.com usually has close to a half dozen options at any given time, and that's not including headphones.

The biggest issue that I have with Logitech is that their mice are very nice, I love my G502 and no other company offers a similar mouse, but the build quality is trash, it only got worse over time, and they still charge a premium for it. The switches in my mouse developed a nasty double click after months of use, but thankfully after a warranty repair it didn't return. However the rubber on the side deteriorated badly where I have exposed plastic under the thumb and a piece of it missing by the little door for the weights because they didn't add any plastic padding under it, so when that bit of rubber became brittle it just broke off.

For me is the G604(I like big, heavy mouses) saddly Logitech doesn't manufacture them anymore or have a replacement for it. For the rubber, I see people buying this type of rubbers and replace the older one, while they don't look as gamer as the other ones, the comments says that it's usually way better than the rubber that logitech uses https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Grip-Gaming-Peripherals-Devices/dp/B07D8J7TB4/

It's probably Yvonne's idea. Chinks are really into badminton for some reason.

On the contrary actually, Linus is a massive badminton fan, pretty sure he either used to or still does play it (not professionally though as far as I know)

Keyboards? Keychron

They also sell mice now and even have their own Logitech MX Master clone, the Keychron M6. https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-m6-wireless-mouse

My quick review of the M6 (I use one at work): The body is hard plastic which makes it feel a lot cheaper than an MX Master, but it'll likely last way longer. My MX Master's rubberized coating turned to putty after a year or so and started coming off in big chunks. Its sensor and the reasonable polling rate makes it feel a lot more responsive than the MX Master which always felt "laggy" to me.

The buttons all work fine, mouse wheel is really good and horizontal wheel works just as well on the MX Master. It's charged via USB-C at the front and holds its charge for ages. I've forgotten to charge it a few days in a row and it works fine. They throw in a USB-A and USB-C 2.4 GHz receiver and you can use Bluetooth too.

You don't have to install crapware to use it as a DPI selector is clearly marked on the bottom, with really acceptable color-coded defaults. From the user guide

So it's better than the MX Master in basically every category that counts and costs a lot less at $49 on their website.

Logitech's chair is a slightly modified Herman-Miller Embody. Herman-Miller is one of the top office chair manufacturers and the Logitech model is actually one of the best chairs out there.

Linus, time to come out as Lilith.
Time to embrace your identity.

Oh yeah, and here's the chair, it was found a long time ago by some other user, I forgot who.

Don't knock Herman Miller but of course the faggot wouldn't settle for the Cadillac of ergonomics, they had to spring for the useless Logitech branding and likely decline in quality.
I'm not sure I even want to attempt parsing what's said. You may not be gay Keffals, whatever that means to you, but you are and always will be a massive faggot. And you will NEVER be a woman. Edit:

Yeaaah, I had a G502 and a first gen G pro wireless, and I absolutely loved the G502 - But the shitty rubber disintegrated, and bubbled, and collected oil and dead skin, and the aluminum scroll wheel oxidized, and it was all around disgusting within a couple years. Then the G pro wireless developed double click issues and the middle button just straight up stopped working after literally two years and a month. My current mouse is a Razer Deathadder V3 Pro... Razerlol but I got it for free. It works. It's a mouse. 18 or 20 months on and no issues yet. We'll see ig.

I'm not sure why people care that much about lifespan on wireless mouse batteries that are rechargeable. 24 hours or so of active use should be more than enough if you just plug it in every night. As it is the G pro and Razer both last more than a week off of one charge, and I use them at least eight hours a day typically.

Sounds exactly like my G502. 1:1 issues.

Love my G604, most comfortable to use mouse I've owned since the old Microsoft Intellimouse. Much prefer having replaceable batteries (if I want them to be rechargeable, I'll get rechargeable batteries). It's a shame they don't make it or an equivalent any more and haven't found something similar from another manufacturer.

Same here, the G502 is all I have used for years even though I am on my 4th one now. The left and right mouse wheel clicks are terrible and as you mentioned the double click issues never fail after a year or two. Their customer service has always sent replacements when still under warranty but I wouldn't buy anything else Logitech makes though. As for speakers my budget Klipsch 2.1 beat anything comparable from Logitech.

 

[Slav Power]

Their customer service has always sent replacements when still under warranty

I sent mine on a warranty repair to a repair center that's officially affiliated with Logitech in Poland. Sent it in an old box for an old Creative USB speaker. They replaced the switches, kept the old gliders, packed the same mouse I sent in the same box and sent it back, with the on board memory untouched, it was still my mouse. All free of charge. The double click didn't return since then, so the replacement switches are clearly of a quality that should've been there since day 1.

Wow, I didn't know Linus made a PC for Twomad! And it's ironically the best 'behind the scenes' I've seen of their studio.

 

[ChromaQuack]

My current mouse is a Razer Deathadder V3 Pro... Razerlol but I got it for free.

That thing is the only Razer product I have ever recommended to people who ask me what to pick for peripherals; I've had mine for close to a decade and it still works like the day I got it.

Everything else they produce is varying degrees of dogshit, but that line of mice is the equivalent of the microsoft mouses of the old times.

 

[Chief Nigwelfacheqee]

The optical switch Naga has been good to me and hasn't had the double click problem that I've seen develop in just about every other mouse I've used (as expected since... optical)

Way too expensive for a mouse but the world of MMO mice isn't exactly ripe with options

Buying a porsche, a million dollar house, and opening up his own personal badminton court isn't enough?

His Porsche is an EV and his house is feeling like a money sink with how much bullshit he does to it, and badminton is a sport for dandys. He should just import an Asian of every flavor and have his own harem if he's that distraut.

Worse, his house is a perpetual WIP, I'm sure the property has a cascade of problems exacerbated by all the bullshit Linus is trying to do with it.
