    Exec says mouse that requires a regular fee for software updates is possible.

    10,000 clicks a month for $10, $5 more for right-clicks

    Everyone wants to be the electric company, mouse edition

      Logitech's CEO didn't discuss what durability features a long-lasting mouse might incorporate. But enabling easier self-repairs and upgrades would be a different approach to a longer-lasting computer mouse that could more directly appeal to users. Logitech already sells parts for self-repairs of some of its mice...

      So I get the privilege of paying a monthly fee for software updates I don't need AND I get to buy parts and repair it myself!? Where do I sign up?...not. :|

        Literally "pay-per-click".

          Some execs deserve to have their buttocks caned into raw meat, with the videos posted online.

            "The officers who eat the old woman’s buttock value the integrity of their military oath more highly than the lives of the eunuchs and women inside their fort. Their behavior demonstrates the folly of absurd adherence to an outmoded system of belief. Even after it is clear that their side has no hope of winning the war, the officers choose to practice cannibalism rather than betray their oath. This choice undermines their lofty concepts of honor and duty, and makes even the cleric, who advocates mutilation rather than execution, appear humane." -https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/candide/section3/

              Because that model is working so well for Oracle and Java?

              I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                  Without providing anything as useful as electricity. I just got so disappointed with Logitech now. Not only they discontinue products I like (and can repair myself, since soldering is not all that hard), they never provided parts (you can get those consumables like switches easily).
