You will soon be able to extend the life of your favorite Logitech accessories in the future, thanks to a new partnership between Logitech and iFixit. The two companies recently launched a dedicated repair hub page, which should soon allow customers to order spare parts for Logitech products.
Logitech and iFixit mentioned the growing e-waste problem globally as one of the motivating reasons behind the partnership. “Making spare parts available and designing more-repairable devices are the best things manufacturers can do to make their products sustainable,” said Elizabeth Chamberlain, Director of Sustainability at iFixit. “We’ve been working with Logitech to develop designs that make it easier for people to fix their stuff. And now, we’re thrilled by the opportunity to help get Logitech repair parts to people around the world. To give a healthy planet to the next generation, we need to keep our things working for as long as possible, reduce our demand for raw materials, and cut down the amount of e-waste we’re generating. It’s wonderful to see Logitech working towards those goals, and we’re beyond happy to do what we can to help.”
The iFixit Logitech Repair Hub currently lists different accessories that Logitech offers, including mice, keyboards, headphones, speakers, controllers, cameras, and more. Nonetheless, the companies will be first offering spare parts for Logitech MX Master and MX Anywhere mouse models specifically. According to iFixit, the parts will be available for those in the US starting this summer, with options to buy the parts individually or the whole Fix Kits containing the replacement part, tools, and a precision bit set.
Logitech joins the growing list of companies partnering with iFixit to allow self-repair options for their products. In 2022, Apple and Samsung announced working with the repair company, confirming plans to offer repair kits for Galaxy devices and iPhones, respectively. Google also joined by allowing self-repair for its Pixel phones. Offerings for Chromebook repairs then followed, but this doesn’t seem to help build up the device’s reputation, with a recent report indicating its short lifespan.
