Not really a specific product but those horrible soaking sharpening stones especially if you're a beginner at sharpening. It's just too much hassle compared to diamond. That and printer lubricant papers, just make them with printer paper and mineral oil

Any "Gaming" headphones they are all such trash. Buy a nice pair of headphones with a quality metal headband and get an audio cable with a built in mic.

Logitech mouse. They keep making them worse in order to sell more overpriced usb adapters. The software is hilariously bad. The world needs a Logitech alternative. Please China, I'm begging.

Exception should be made for the MX Master range. I have had all models: 2, 2s, 3 & 3s. They were always great, but have got better and better with each iteration.

I feel like their MX series is still very good.

I swear by the marathon mouse. And I love the scroll wheel unlock of logitech mice. Scroll wheel goes brrrrrrrr

Yes I love that too. I got the MX Anywhere 3 to replace to 2 I had. I've had a bunch. They all fail in the same way, they start doing double clicks for single click. But usually after a couple of years, I'm fine with that part.

The bullshit is when they make the new mouse incompatible with the old USB adapter OR THE SOFTWARE! And you have to install Options PLUS! And doesn't work often and needs to be reinstalled.

They make good stuff but the bullshit is bullshit.
