As a Linux user, I don't even know what features their software has, nor do I particularly care. If it points and clicks, I'm happy.

What I want from Logitech is to make mice that point and click more reliably, and ideally make them repairable. I hate throwing out mice just because of a double-click issue when I could just replace a sensor or something.

Here's my proposal:

make a handful of base models with varying core features (wireless, low-latency, lots of inputs)
sell parts like shells, sensors, PCBs, etc that customers can replace on their own - no need to replace a mouse because you don't like the feel, just get a new chassis
there is no step 3
