Logitech has delivered unexpected and yet positive news today with the advertisement that it will promote the repairability of its products, from mice and web cameras to video game controllers. To this end, the Swiss firm has signed an agreement with iFixit, which will house detailed guides, specific tools (when applicable) and spare parts that will be used to maintain devices once the warranty period has expired.

iFixit, which many EOLians may know for their toolkits and tutorials, will host Logitech’s content. on a specific site which already houses a good number of documents, including the official guides for the MX Master and MX Anywhere mice, which are the first two peripherals with official home repair support. Throughout the summer, both peripherals will also have original replacement parts in the United States; something extremely unusual, since the norm when a mouse breaks down is usually to change it directly for another (and in fact, few manufacturers even bother to have replacement components).

For now the prices are unknown and when the spare parts will also be offered for the European territory.
