I mean, some of the programmable options are very cool, like the macros. Some of it is less cool but unique, like pasting a short message. But seriously these like 6 choices 4 of which are copy, paste, undo, and cut are all I get for windows functions? No task view option? No maximize/minimize? You can set those functions up by using the keyboard shortcut options but why is the software so amateurish that no one thought to add those predefined options? This is a 150 dollar mouse, right? My Logitech MX Master 3 has 6 buttons in total and has three times the functionality. Not only can you open task view but you can just swipe left or right to go to your desired desktop. I spent 3 hours. I repeat. I spent THREE HOURS installing this mouse because the software is so mind bogglingly badly written it actively corrupted my OS. I literally had to use a restore point. In the 20 years I have been using windows I have done fresh installs plenty of times, but I have NEVER used a restore point until now. I have had catastrophic crashes requiring fresh installs but before now I hadn't ever encountered software that I couldn't just uninstall and start over. I haven't seen software that behaves more like a virus like this since the 90's, and never from an international company. For the love of god why would I not be able to install the mouse or docking station if they are both plugged in at the same time? Why are there only 7 lighting options, with only one of them, reactive, even remotely interesting (I don't count battery indicator because every powered device everywhere has that, it's called a status indicator and how freaking dare you have the balls to add that as a "lighting option", one of them is static, and the rest are variations of the same strobe effect)? Why would you make a docking station that is designed to be vertical and not add a tiny keyhole so it can be mounted to a wall? Why is everything about this mouse, which is the most expensive mouse I have ever purchased seem like it was designed by a singularly unimaginative office drone that is just trying to get through his work day so he can go home and be sad? Again I paid 150 dollars for your top of the line mouse and it has less functionality then a years older mouse at almost half the price, less lighting effects then my 20 dollar desk lamp, and less freedom in how I use it then even Apple products. And your power cord uses 10 year old technology, USB-C to USB-A, because...I honestly can't even come up with a faux reason for this as a joke or jab, it's just bafflingly stupid. Now I knew what I was getting and had never intended for this to be my primary mouse, but I never expected it would end up tossed in a drawer because it couldn't even match ANY of the most basic of features that trash products offer. So yeah call me Mr Horse because no sir, I don't like it.
But please someone tell me how I'm wrong so the crushing regret I feel can be somewhat mitigated.
