[SaltBoy]

"noooo" is right. I didn't know Logitech was Swiss.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Least Logitech would finally make decent mice.

 

[ThePresence]

Poppycock!

Less competition is never good for the consumer.

"It seems out of left field. Microsoft has a small decent hardware business, but I don't see why it would do this," said Morningstar analyst Toan Tran.

yeah, i don't see it

mice? that is sooooo 20th century

 

[ranmaniac]

Great for Microsoft, but what about consumers? Higher peripheral prices?

I still use a Logitech MX 500 and Logitech gamepad (PS/2 style)

 

[BlackTigers]

[oogabooga]

Don't forget about their awesome remotes!

If it gets me a SideShow enabled Logitech Harmony remote, I'm all for it!

 

[KLin]

Windows Mobile based Harmony Remote?

I sure hope so. Damn SS devices are taking forever to come out.

Aside from their Squeeze devices and Harmony remotes (both of which come from companies Logitech acquired, thus unlikely to change much), there's not much I like from them. I prefer MS keyboards and mice over theirs anyways.

This acquisition would make baby Jesus cry.

 

[Kelvrick]

All my keyboards are microsoft, my mice are all logitech.

I guess now they can be brothers. I still wish they could stay enemies though.

 

[uhohs]

i hail our new mouse overlords.

 

[Parasitic]

Finally... I'm in favor of this. Could this mean better drivers and integrated support, other than the old bloated and crummy software Logitech has?

Yes, I think Microsoft writes great software and drivers for its hardware.

Logitech all the way! I love their keyboards and mice.

Even if sometimes they are pretty overpriced

 

[Acanthus]

Now we can all have optical mice that randomly fly to the corners of the screen and break periodically!

Woo!
