"Oooh! we wanna help the environment! Look at how green we are! It's gonna last you a lifetime. Such quality. Such emotional investment into your personal mouse!"

Bitch! You are just inventing stupid ideas about how to turn a hardware company into a service company, because you know that is where the money is.

lmfao. At one point the Logitech mouse driver for MacOS was a 1GB download. They want me to pay for that shit???? gtfo.

I’d be more willing to pay Logitech for a subscription to never have to touch their software again.

Even assuming that I wasn't put off by having a subscription for a physical object, how could it possibly be financially viable for me to do that.

It would be cheaper for me to simply buy a new mouse every 4 or 5 years, and realistically I don't replace my mice that often. It's a mouse they don't really get to be that expensive even if you go for all the optional bells and whistles.

Vance Packard warned us, in his book, The Waste Makers.

forever subscription, you say?

Oh no, anyway. Glad I never touched their peripherals because they're overpriced like Razer and other bigger companies.

Imo software update for Mouse is not that necessarily crucial unless you had nasty bugs like Cooler Master during launching their mouse. My endgame mouse is MM712 and happy with that👍🏼

Also you can build your own mouse though iirc may be harder than building DIY keyboard (sc: built custom macropad for college project).
