Logitech rubber coating: 2-year lifespan.
Me: Fine, I'll do it myself!

3D-printed a new shell in soft black TPU (on gray-ish PLA supports) and it fits like a glove. Honestly feels better than the original!

DIY > decay.

Whch one is that? My MX Master 2S is still going strong after like 6? Years

@zip

This particular one's the MX Master 3, but I've had the same issues with the MX2, the MX1, ..., all the way back to the MX Performance.

@fribbledom
That's wild, must be some difference in sweat chemistry or whatever? Sucks that you've got bad luck with them.. But hey, a good reason for a DIY project at least

@zip

Yeah, there are usually a few factors at play with these elastomers. UV, Oils, salts, humidity, temperature etc. etc.

6 years without it disintegrating is fairly exceptional though.

@fribbledom Here's how it looks after all that time. I can still feel the slight grippy texture so I don't think it has degraded at all!
