Calling Logitech for support can be a slightly tedious yet fruitful process that takes some time, as I recently discovered when seeking assistance. I contacted the company about a Logitech mouse that frequently stops working while being used with a desktop computer. Upon calling, an automated system began to list the options for reaching the correct department, but the recording moved very quickly, so I needed to repeat the selections.
The recording indicates that Logitech has specialized experts available to help and that your call may be recorded. The options are to press 1 for help with an order or 2 for tech support. I chose 2 and was then asked to indicate whether I was calling about a gaming product, a mouse or keyboard or any accessories for mobile devices, cameras, remotes or other products.
After selecting the option for mouse/keyboard, the automated messaging requested that I specify the device I needed help with by pressing 1 for mouse, 2 for keyboard or 3 for gaming device. I pressed 1 for mouse and was greeted by a different automated message dubbed an AI Assistant that asked for mouse specifics: a wired or wireless mouse, whether my problem was with a connection, cosmetic damages, scrolling or something else. I spoke the word wired and said the issue was my connection.
Next, I needed to identify whether I was using Windows or Mac operating system, and after I stated Windows, the AI Assistant guided me through several steps to troubleshoot the mouse issue. I was told to plug the mouse into a different USB port and see if that step resolved the issue. I did this while there was a brief pause on the line, and the AI Assistant returned after a minute to ask if that helped. Unfortunately, it didn't correct the problem, as the mouse was still struggling.
The AI Assistant then requested that I unplug the mouse and restart the computer, ensuring I reported back when this task was done. After several minutes of waiting for the computer to restart, the automated recording asked if I was ready to proceed, and I said yes. I was guided by the AI Assistant to reconnect the mouse to the same or a different USB port while the assistant would wait for me.
Thankfully, this appeared to be the solution, as the mouse was working well at this point. The AI Assistant asked if this instruction helped resolve the issue and I said yes. The assistant responded with an enthusiastic "Awesome" and told me to call back if this issue continued or to visit Logitech's website for more troubleshooting solutions.
Overall, the call was productive and very efficient, even if it did take about 15 minutes to navigate the menu options and follow the guided steps to help resolve my mouse issue. I also appreciated not having to wait long to access assistance.
