J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Seems Logitech are exploring making a 'forever mouse' which will have a subscription. Trying to turn peripherals into services is so needlessly stupid, I really hope it doesn't take off in any capacity. It's bad enough seeing people hilariously being unable to open fridges during the recent Microsoft outage because they required an internet connection to a cloud service but producing a quality product that is lasting under the guise of a subscription is another stupid cash grab. I get they want to make cheaper products so people will have to replace them more frequently now but they'd be far better off just making more premium and higher quality ones instead of going down a subscription route. My Logitech mouse has actually lasted years and whilst that's great for me, it's bad for them but that's how it should be. Logitech's 'forever mouse' could mean peripherals go the way of coffee beans, TVs, and printer ink by pushing a subscription | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Could a mouse ever be timeless?

What are they saying are the positives about paying a subscription for a peripheral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they will make a 'really good lasting mouse and give you free updates'. That's literally every mouse that's ever existed🤣 GazzaGarratt and Lurchzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,718 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Yeah funnily enough my Logitech mouse is 12 years old now. I wanted to buy another as back up but they stopped making good quality mice in recent years and I've held back. This idea is ridiculous but then we live in ridiculous times 🙈🤣 Lurchzy and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
