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.

Considering I've only ever bought a new mouse with an old one broke, and therefore did not work at all, I can't foresee any possible reason to buy one of these things. Unless they're made of fucking titanium with and have an 80-year power supply. In which case they probably cost like $200 and I'm still going to just go buy one for 10ish bucks because I can always replace it in a few years if necessary and it's still cheaper.

Guess I'm either stocking up a couple extra 502 mice now, or I need to find a new mouse. I'm not looking forward to trying to find a new mouse, the 502 is perfect in my hand.

Insanity. I spend $5.00 or so on $eCommerceSite and am perfectly happy with the result.

I make that expenditure maybe every four or five years. I don't need a 'forever mouse,' they already last practically that long.
