This was roughly the sequence of events as they transpired from the time I first used my shiny new G9x mouse to the time I got the new one from Logitech's warranty department. Except it wasn't so much a "boom" as it was a "crack", since the 5.56 cartridge isn't really that big. The first click being a successful click, the second being the one that heralded a failing right mouse button. It's always the right buttons that fail (the "durability" rating for each button on the G9x product page says 8 million clicks; I seriously doubt I opened more "Properties" menus than I opened programs-via-shortcuts). I had a Saitek Cyborg mouse that lost it's right button functions. And like the Cyborg mouse, I took the G9x out and shot it like a lame horse. Only this time I used a steel-core penetration round (SS109), instead of a hollow-point .45 ACP (I was just curious to see what all that "blunt-force" of a hollow point would do to a circuit board encase in plastic; the results were mildly satisfying/I think I'd have gotten better results with a soft-point, but then I've never seen JSP available in .45 caliber).


As for claiming the warranty on the mouse itself, I was surprised (but not really, considering corporate greed) to find that the "three year" warranty only extends from the date the mouse was manufactured, not when it was purchased (I bought it on July 30, 2010; It was actually delivered and in my hands a week-and-a-half later, so I've not even used it a whole year) . Apparently my mouse was made just on the safe side of 2009 (meaning I got to claim my warranty).

And here I just thought you were a Saliva fan.

That's standard and one of Retail's little secrets. Everything you buy is under warranty from date of manufacture so keep that in mind when you are picking up that end of stock bargain.

Every time I hear about consumer-stores relationship outside, the more I see how brazillian consumer rights are among the most advanced.

If you they tried that here, they would get raped in court.

Also, Steam would probably be closed already.

that's why I stick to the cheap shit.

"gamer" mice and whatnot are constructed out of thinner plastic than any $20 generic model designed for office work. In fact I've yet to find a single "gaming" PC product worth half it's cost.

not really talking about gamepads, steering wheels, and joysicks: you get a cluncker here and there but for the most part any of those products will outlast their connectors being available as standard features.

I'm talking product lines that are labeled as "gamer" products like logitech's "G" shit.

To be honest, I've never heard the song outside of the little clip that's played in some movie traliers. And I've already forgotten which movies those were.
