Logitech also has silent mouse and it works just fine. M590.

I agree with you, nothing special, maybe only that silent part if it lives up to the advertising.

Why doesn't logitech make their main mice silent, too? Or at least, half as noisy.

I feel like we're stuck in the 90s with sound design.

Well, most gamers use headphones anyway. No need for silent mice. :)

Aren't silent mice aimed more at office/ business users? Or even home users. There are other kinds of computer users than just gamers.

That was exactly my point. This is a silent mouse for office/business users. Maybe even for home users who just want a mouse for web browsing and general computer use, no gaming involved.
