All right so I got this crazy idea what if instead of adding piece technology that measures how much it's sagging we just designed the product properly so it didn't sag in the first place?

What world do we live in that they shouldn't have to tell us about all the fees!?

If they can charge the fees they can tell us what it's for!

If your wonder who the current FCC chair bats for, it isn't the consumer!

Solid mouse for a solid price, snag one while you can! @LogitechG bring back the G1/G3 shape with side buttons already, it's what we really wanted! (also Bluetooth would have sold so many more of these)
