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.
They’ll remove any mice from the market that doesn’t have a subscription model and others will follow suit.
Future mouse DLC: “Special promotion! $5 discount on unlocking right mouse button!”
Good luck with removing aliexpress mice from the market
I doubt the open source options will be adopting this strategy either.
I have a ploopy trackball and love it.
How does it compare to the m570?
I use a left handed one, so I can’t really comment on most ergonomic computer accessories.
They look nice, but quite expensive.
If they only had a thumb trackball…
Like this?
Dang phone, not sure how I missed it. Thanks! Although oof on the price… Another poster mentioned elecom, they have a quite the variety of thumb trackballs, think I’ll buy few of those for the price of one ploopy: https://elecomusa.com/collections/trackball Edit:spelling
True, they are expensive. But it’s one of the very few left-handed, ergonomic mice/trackballs I’ve ever found.
Damn, I never thought to look there! Thanks!
