is Logitech known for this? Not this exactly, I get that it’s a meme, but enshitification in general? I have a Logitech mouse and haven’t experienced anything that’s particularly money hungry other than the initial pricing and I think a twitch popup or something stupid
Yeah this was a thing until we “learned” that it was was just a big miss understanding…that Miss was big. To my understanding, they leaked something said during a management meeting where they say it was a hilarious joke… But we all agree it wasn’t.
Logitech “floated” the idea of subscription mouses (aka: tried to see how bad the market resistance would be). They want to do it so bad.
the mere process of presenting such an idea to the internet was enough to make me never buy logi-junk again
It’s OK you’re not missing anything, the last three Logitech mice I had died to switch failure in like 6 months so they’re not worth buying anyway
Which is sad. I liked the hardware I’ve had from them, but I haven’t bought new in a few years. The mouse has treated me much better than Razers I’ve had over the years. Sad that their quality has (predictably) started circling the drain as well.
Also, what mouse or brand do you recommend buying instead?
I just love the roccat kone aimo because I have lumberjack hands and every other mouse is just too small. Sadly their left click gets used quite rapidly, nothing crazy IMO but it’s a shame tossing an expensive mouse just for that (and losing the click or double clicking drives you crazy quickly, ha ha!) so I bought some microswitches from aliexpress and swapped them out in both of my mice. Fiddly but works perfectly now!
That was gonna be my rec too. I bought a Kone and it’s been an amazing mouse for me.
Yeah it irritates me that the sensors always go so soon. You’d think the tech would advance past this, but it’s been a complaint for years at this point.
Got my little pouch of microswitches for the forseable future :-)
For what I found, it’s like they all use the same switches too 🤷🏼♀️
I like their hardware too, I still have an ancient pair of g200 headphones with mic that still work great. I use it regularly. But their mice peripherals have fallen tf off.
Like Valmond recommend I went to a Roccat mouse - they’re a less well known Japanese brand. I’ve had mine for over two and a half years and it’s been amazing.
If the Corsair harpoon was a subscription service. I’d pay for it.
It’s not real right???
Capitalism breeds innovation right? That’s what we’re being spoon fed?
I want to know what priority support looks like for a mouse.
Like what questions would you ask? How would they troubleshoot before sending you to tier 3 support?
the Logitech mouse can change loadouts depending on the game you’re playing but it doesn’t work for all games (really annoying) so that would be my guess
Enhanced clicks use AI to help predict where you want to move the mouse and pre-clicks it, saving some time and effort .
The elite plan allows game cheats in selected games developed by trusted partners .
Not at all responsible for wrong clicks.
Support helps when there is a noticeable pattern of wrong clicks and refers you to training
How do I click an option when my clicks are already used up? 🤔
You need to buy another mouse to achieve it of course.
Tab over to it and hit Enter
hits TAB
New window appears saying I am out of key presses and to select a payment option
well then you’re just a deadbeat user aren’t you? did you forget to pay for your gpu fan spins too? you’re gonna cause a fire, you irresponsible broke-ass dummy.
Better hope you don’t run out of screen minutes.
We bringing back anytime minutes

The mouse works only in upgrade windows
I’d just get a mouse that doesn’t have this bullshit before paying for this. I’ll buy used if needed. I’m not subscribing to a fucking mouse.
Do not read aloud from a book that summons demons. Not even as a joke.
Business idea: The mouse manufacturers play the middle man in the click economy. Users can add an extra “click safety” package for $3,99/month, which prevents them from clicking on ads/misleading content. “Good” and “ethical” advertisers can get in touch with the “business communication” office of the mouse manufacturers to buy exception deals, because “their ads are okay”
your red pixel clicking cartridge has run out. you wont be able to click on any other pixels until you refill your red pixel clicking cartridge.

10000 clicks a month? Man I might do that in a day or 2
Looks like someone is getting the unlimited plan!
Is scrolling extra?
Living in 2024, I’m not even sure if this is a joke or not. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a subscription for damn oxygen soon. Oh, wait, that’s taxes!
It’s only partially a joke. I can’t remember who but some company was bragging about their subscription based mouse they had in the works.
They missed so many opportunities to make it actually a nightmare. Adding these should help…
Standard plan: 2 DPI settings. (50, 32000)
Premium plan: 3 DPI settings! (50, 100, 32000) Ad Free!
Pro-gamer plan ($45/mo) Mouse acceleration toggle 1 customizable DPI settings (more available @ $5/mo each) Middle mouse click functionality unlocked! (Bound to backspace. Customizable binding @ $2/mo) AI tooltips to suggest when/where to click next. ($5/Mo to disable) Cloud backup*
*Requires Internet connection. Mouse falls back to standard plan and settings when not connected. Requires device reboot to re-enable subscription after disconnect.
At least this provider gives unlimited free scrolling!
No, you can’t disable AI, because “people want that” ™
Thanks Satan
How long could a mouse take to reboot, Michael? An hour?
And it will anti cheat a little on the cheap tier when you play games.
This hurts to read.

Vim users: *entirely unaffected*
They won’t even see the ad because they can’t get out of Vim.
“I can get out anytime I want, I just like it here” - vim user
Oh god oh no I used my last click now I can’t select a plan
Yes you can! Only $0.10 per additional click!
And how will I click that? Oh, it’s automatic! For our convenience!
“remind me later” works only if you double click it.
