Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into the pressing issue of looming tariffs impacting technology enthusiasts across the board. Logitech recently raised its prices significantly, with the MX Master 3S now costing $120—a 20% hike—due to anticipated tariffs on imported goods from China. As Logitech stated, “the continuing uncertainty of the tariff environment” has forced companies to reevaluate their pricing strategies.

This uncertainty isn't just limited to mice. Mechanical keyboard manufacturers are also feeling the pinch. Companies like Qwerteykeys are warning customers about potential 20% tariffs and customs fees, leading to delayed orders and increased costs. One manufacturer, Keyboardio, expressed concerns about the impact on shipping and fulfillment, mentioning their products are “going to be more expensive and more annoying to get.”

The ripple effect of these tariffs is felt widely—from DIY tech projects becoming more expensive to anticipated price increases on new gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2. As one analyst noted, “Raising prices is the most likely mitigation tool,” meaning consumers are likely facing tough decisions ahead.

As we navigate this evolving landscape, it’s clear that buying electronics is about to get tougher. Stay tuned for more updates as we keep a close eye on these developments.
