Agreed, but it's still far from perfect. For one thing, MS software is programmed to uninstall all rival software when it's put on there - so if you have drivers for any other peripherals installed, you can't use them if you wish to use MS' software. Logitech's is just a bit rubbish from the start though, and Razer's is even worse.

Doesnt Logitech make PS controllers? This would be a sad thing. M$ screws up everything they buy out and own. We dont need another good company that will gain a bad rep from poorly made equipment that M$ will produce in their name.

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

If Microsoft gets hold of Logitech, they will most probably pull the plug on all of there competing products. So not more Logitech accessories for PS2 and PS3, or that RumblePad that looks like a DualShock controller as that would be infulencing there XBOX 360 controller for PC.

True we would probably say goodbye to the G-Series, which makes Microsoft's "Gaming" peripherals look like toddler's toys.
When it comes to gaming-specific peripherals Logitech>Microsoft.

Even today I refuse to use the scroll mouse & continue to use my 3 button - non optical mouse.
So far as the MS keyboards are concerned I am extremely uncomfortable with the re positioned & resized keys - especially the 6 - insert/end page up/page down etc.
At the age of 62 and having used the original layout keyboards I simply refuse to change.

Each to their own, I've used a wheel mouse since my first PC and hate doing without one.

This would be a great partnership if Microsoft lets them be a part of the growth.
