Support NeoGAF

I hope their is a subscription tier supported by ads so your mouse moves on its own to draw pics in MS Paint of stuff to buy.

So that's where the $200 in tech went!

 

[DGrayson]

As yes lets compare it to a high end luxury watch which has a fixed one off cost and no subscription. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Rudius]

I like the MX master 3, but will not support any subscription for PC hardware or software.

 

[Paasei]

I don't care what your excuse is. If you sub to this, you are really stupid.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If the mouse breaks under sub plan, do they send you a new mouse?

 

[Caffeine]

Just bounced from logi lol buying some other kind of peripherals

 

[Tams]

They aren't even trying to hide it.

Logitech are in the doldrums, so what do they do? They hire a CEO from the make-up and cosmetics world. You don't need to guess where that is going to go...

Hence we get the 'innovative' idea of a 'forever' mouse. Geez, how much did that genius in their Irish 'innovation' centre get paid for that zinger. Of course, that's not enough. No, let's add a subscription! It'll 'enhance' the user experience! 'It's what people want!'

Fuuuuuuuck off. Make a new G13 and some interesting mice for a change.

This has D.O.A. written all over it, how can they not see this considering how utterly fickle the PC market is when it comes to attempts to fuck them over

Looking at her resume. What a little demoness she is. From a VP at a chemical company who's poisoned the world (Procter & Gamble Co) to another higher position at Unilever who poisoned people (Unilever in India 2016, Mercury poisoning, among others). Now she's at a company which makes computer peripherals. Wear gloves while using Logitech!

 

[Akuji]

Get this. Slightly related.

Toyota has a patent that will let them charge you a monthly fee to keep using your keyfob after your car reaches 10 years old.

Luxury carmakers have patents that will let them turn on or off your heated/cooled seats and certain other luxury features if you don’t pay a subscription fee.

None of these are in use yet, but the patents exist.

Doesnt matter, if.they dont put it in the contract when i buy, its not happening.

Just dont buy from asshole companies.

Logitech's problem is that I've been using the same mini wireless mouse daily for over ten years with zero malfunctions and it cost like ten dollars. The thing is I never have any idea if new tech is as good or dependable as old so I'm always territorial over my old stuff. My experience aligns perfectly with this guy:

The second reason is because Logitech is designed to last. A few years back, I traveled to the Logitech headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, and showed one of the engineers a well-worn Logitech laptop mouse that I'd been carrying around in my backpack for about a decade. When I mentioned that it still worked perfectly, the engineer replied, "Why wouldn't it?"

So the laptop mouse was designed to last already but now that's two hundred dollars plus sub. What a stunt.

 

[BlackTron]

If the mouse breaks under sub plan, do they send you a new mouse?

I want to hear them offer the optional warranty on the Forever Mouse

 

[Magic Carpet]

Maybe the US Government will fork over money for hardware subscriptions.
My taxes wasted at Intel, might as well increase the national debt some more on this crazy.

 

[Solarstrike]

Is it logical to use Logitech?..

[rkofan87]

no thanks.

 

[Melon Husk]

Any mouse is potentially "forever". The scroll wheel rubber usually goes bad first. Buy a backup and you're set for life.

 

[Robins]

This is insane to me. I have £6 Chinese brand wireless mice that I've used for years without failure. Madness.

 

[nikos]

Doesn't make sense to me. My G915 cost over $200, Viper V2 Pro $150, and I still don't want to keep them for too long. Aside from technology always progressing, this stuff starts to feel worn after a while even if you take really good care of it.

I'd maybe pay a sub to get a fresh flasghip mouse and keyboard every so often, but it would have to be worth it.

Lmao, it is impossible for Logitech to build hardware that lasts even a day longer than the warranty.

I have a logitech mx anywhere 2s. Lasted me more than 5 years I think.

Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse

Many people did not like that idea.

Hey Logitech, I'm willing to drop $100 bucks on a new refreshed MX Ergo Trackball mouse. One that has USB-C recharging and connects to the Logibolt dongle.
It's way past time.

 

[MacReady13]

Honestly and truly, when does this subscription madness end? I'm at a loss at to how anyone could think this is a viable way to run this stuff. Yet I say this and there are probably 10's of 1000's (possibly millions) who lap this nonsense up.

I just wanna say that i replaced my g9x (yes G9x) last week. If i could find another g9x i'll buy it again.

Subscription based mouse, i'll just say This now anyone who supports this shit should be publicly treated like a witch in the middle ages.
