Are there any hardware manufacturers who write good software?
It depends what you call good, but Apple software is usually good, if you agree with their overall approach and philosophy of walled garden.
People always say this but I find their software really annoying to use.
Which is their philosophy that you have problems with.
The Apple mouse is one of the most infuriating pieces of technology I have ever used.
You’re referring to hardware here.
In terms of hardware: The Apple trackpad is fucking amazing. The Apple Magic Mouse is just fucked.
I haven't used any Logitech gear in a few years, so things may have changed, but after running iCUE...Logitech can't possibly be that bad, right?
Logitech's software is at least better than Razer's. Although it's not a high bar.
iCUE would stop my webpages from loading for the longest time, and i had no idea why. I tried so many other things and never even considered iCUE to be the culprit of my extremely slow web surfing.
it wasn't until a friend suggested I delete iCUE that my computer began running like brand new... it was literally a night and day experience. there's no point to my story, other than echoing how horrible iCUE is
VKB. Their configuration software is intimidating at first glance (and you better RTFM!), but it's super powerful and allows you to change and tune absolutely everything. Plus the settings are stored in the device so you only need to run the configurator when you want to change something. This is what you get when engineers run the company, not marketing, and they respect the end user's intelligence.
