There are no plans for a subscription mouse, said Logitech toThe Vergeand other outlets.
The idea certainly proved provocative when shared publicly.
Logitech does not have plans to make a mouse that requires a subscription for software updates, despite recent comments made by the company’s CEO.
Many online have accused the Logitech CEO of “saying the quiet part out loud.”
The new statement also does not address the core issues presented by the concept of a subscription-based mouse.
It’s not a question of if Logitech made the mouse discussed.
The problem is that Logitech considered the idea in the first place.
A mouse requiring a subscription for software updates is ludicrous at a base level.
Thebest miceare some of the only accessories that last for years, if not decades.
At best it’s an executive grossly misunderstanding their company’s customer base.
Logitech could have leaned into the idea of a forever mouse by highlighting the longevity of its products.
It’s relatively common to see high-end brands market products as lasting for life.
