Logitech CEO Wants to Sell You a Subscription-Based 'Forever Mouse' (gizmodo.com)

During a recent episode of The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber shed some possible insight into the company’s view on one of its most important products. Saying that “the mouse built this house,” Faber shares the planning behind a Forever Mouse, a premium product that the company hopes will be the last you ever have to buy. There’s also a discussion about a subscription-based service and a deeper focus on AI.

For now, details on a Forever Mouse are thin, but you better believe there will be a catch. The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.

premium mouse that receives constant updates

Come on. How many firmware updates can we really expect for a mouse?

I've had an m570 for about 10 years. Every time it broke, I fixed it. Why do we need a subscription?

This is not about you, but about them. It's not that you need a subscription. It's that they need you to have a subscription.

But they need to convince me that the subscription is worthwhile!

If you are going to ask questions maybe you are not the target demographic.

Damned straight! I'll stick with my boring old non-ai grandpa mouse.

Back in my day the mice had a tail, no scroll wheel, and only 2 buttons!

Back in my day, mice had balls.

We used trackballs and loved them. We greased the mechanism with our forehead sweat as was the fashion at the time.

When I were a lad, we used vi.
