Weird, because I'm pretty sure all other mice can be used forever, as long as they don't break.
I'm pretty sure the 'forever' part refers to the payment model.
Allow me to translate the business language to understandable terms....we (Logitech) will sell customers (us) a hook. When they bite, they bite forever. They will pay us (Logitech) to use their own hardware! What a bunch of idiots!
Additionally I would like to propose that we don't sign up for apple or other fruit rentals or delivery subscriptions. If you want a banana, go to the market and get one. Then eat the banana. It should cost only a few cents since you basically consume the thing. Now, if you want a mouse, go to Amazon and buy one from there that is not Logitech. Then just hook it up to the computer and use it! That's it! In fact, if you don't return it, your compromise with the seller ends when they deliver it to your door. Both you and the seller walk away happy. There's no fucking subscription to a mouse! WTF! That's a company with two legs just about done shooting one off.
