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.

It's vague, but the software appears to be the service.

it had great software and services that you’d constantly update

Faber suggested that the software becomes even more important while questioning how to nail down the appropriate service model.

And of course, they shoved AI into it.

subscription-based service and a deeper focus on AI.

Dear sweet baby jesus. What software does a mouse need other than a driver? This AI shit was annoying to begin with, and they just keep trying to shovel that shit right down our throats.
