G Hub is so incredibly bloated that the load time is in the same tier as MS Teams, the new Steam, Windows, and Cities Skylines II. It's also incredibly unreliable, working less often than other notoriously unreliable apps such as Outlook.

Gotta say, I've always been blown away by how easy it is to connect Logitech stuff to their little multi-device dongles.
Recently started trying out the Flow feature and I'm a lot less blown away, but the dongle thing is plenty enough for me. I give them a thumbs up.
G Hub ist the single most terrible software I have ever used. I mean, it feels like a prank to use it.
Aside from certain mice, office keyboards and video conferencing stuff, Logitech is trash. Especially when it comes to flight sim and simracing hardware.
Their conferencing equipment is great. I work in that industry and I'm always happy to see Logitech specced over Cisco/crestron
Our office uses the MX 3S combo and I hated the mouse at first but now I really like it for CAD work. I just emailed our rep this morning to see if I could get a discount for my WFH setup (my boss said they might just send me a free one if I ask lol)
I loved my G35/G500 a decade ago but I have no interest in Logitech for my personal system anymore. Their "gaming" hardware blows nowadays
Also - their office peripheral software (Options+) is pretty good. You can configure your stuff and then uninstall it as it's saved to the onboard memory
Yeah, same as Steelseries, Razer, etc. why do I need to install a video capture and social sharing program just to get chat mix feature to work with my headset? I haven't had a Logitech gaming device in a bit, but it was bad when I did, probably worse now.
I had a really great experience with Logitech support several years ago that made me feel good about buying their stuff. But, in the years since then, my mouse randomly changing DPI all the time and my headset microphone randomly getting stuck on mute have worn me down.
I just want their MX keys and MX mouse to fucking switch computers together when you press the button on the keyboard. I don't know why that's so much to ask but apparently it is.
The plastic protection adhesive on the 920 series of cameras used to be awful.
Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.
Worst part is that even though there's a web app version it still requires windows to work
