Logitech Partners With I Fixit For Self Repairs | Official Spare Parts, Batteries, And Repair Guides For Select Logitech Hardware Will Be Available Through I Fixit Starting ‘This Summer.’

Hold on to your wireless mouse because Logitech and DIY repair specialists iFixit are teaming up to revolutionize the way we handle electronic waste. This exciting partnership aims to empower customers to repair their own out-of-warranty Logitech hardware by providing spare parts, batteries, and repair guides for select products. The iFixit Logitech Repair Hub will be the hub of all this repair magic. Customers will have the option to purchase spare parts individually or opt for Fix Kits that include everything necessary to complete the repair, including tools and precision bit sets. The first products to receive this repair treatment will be Logitech's popular MX Master and MX Anywhere mouse models. While pricing details haven't been released, Logitech plans to expand the availability of genuine replacement parts and repair guides to more devices in the future. But it doesn't stop there. The iFixit repair hub already features several Logitech products, including webcams, keyboards, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and gaming peripherals. Some of these products already have repair guides available, thanks to the contributions of the iFixit community. The partnership with Logitech is expected to bring even more guides to help users repair and extend the life of their devices. This collaboration couldn't have come at a better time. The alarming rise in global e-waste, estimated to reach over 75 million metric tons by 2030, highlights the urgency for sustainable solutions. With limited repair options and high rates of consumption, Logitech and iFixit are taking a stand against this growing issue. By encouraging customers to repair and maintain their Logitech devices, they hope to reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills. Prakash Arunkundrum, Logitech's Chief Operating Officer, emphasizes the importance of brands and value chains actively participating in the shift toward a more circular economy. Logitech aims to lead the way by developing better designs and making self-repair options more accessible to consumers. iFixit has previously collaborated with renowned tech brands like Google, Samsung, and Valve to create self-repair programs. The launch of Logitech's program with the MX Master and MX Anywhere mice is a promising start. However, enthusiasts like myself are eagerly anticipating the expansion of spare parts availability to cover a wider range of Logitech peripherals. Personally, I've cherished my Logitech G502 gaming mouse for nearly eight years, and the prospect of extending its lifespan and reducing my own e-waste is an exciting prospect. With Logitech and iFixit joining forces, the future looks brighter for reducing electronic waste and empowering consumers to take control of their devices' longevity. So, hold on tight to your favorite Logitech hardware because the era of repairability is just beginning.
