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.

My latest issue is the rubber on the g604 is starting to warp. No idea how I'll ever fix that in a satisfactory way.

The true Achilles heel of Logitech gear is their rubberized feeling coatings on things. My mouse's coating started to fail from daily use in a couple of years.

oh man that's what killed my MX Ergo. I'm back to using M570's with a simple plastic shell because they don't rot.
