It’s a good thing that market is so saturated that there’d always be a cheap uncomplicated mouse with all your features, unless you’re some sort of MMO mouse person.
That said, a company can probably still sell this to the government with enough lobbying. Those chumps love wasting cash on subscriptions they don’t need (looking at you, Adobe Cloud).
That’s why they’ll make it so Windows requires your mouse to have official Microsoft drivers for compatibility.
Hahaha, Windows, lol.
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?
This is why you do what I do and use a trackball.
I’ve had mine since 2004. I’ve replaced the cord 3 times, and designed a 3D printed replacement scroll wheel for it. It’s still going strong.
That’s some dedication. Respect
What will Premium Plus get for me?
It’s a meme now. Give it a few years and it’ll be more than a meme.
One man’s meme is another monster’s inspiration
Drink a can of Monster to continue clicking
Stand up and clap to end the commercial
I can navigate with keyboard shortcuts.
I’m sorry, you are out of keyboard clicks.
I’ll just use my graphics tablet.
I’m sorry, you’re out of graphics.
Connect with rdp with my laptop with a touchscreen
You’re out of RDPs
I can cry.
Subscribe to tears monthly for more tears you’ve reached your tears limit for this month.
I’d like to unironically place this popup on public office laptops in order for users to collect themselves and stop being afraid of touchpads and keyboard commands.
Touchpads are the devil.
Old ones were absolute cheeks, modern ones are much better, a mouse will always be preferred. Bonus points if it’s wired.
If you use this laptop on the day to day basis - yep. But if a notebook is brought to you for a limited time to open one single presentation and show it on the screen\projector with a clicker I don’t really want to bother with carrying a mouse too. It’s needed for three clicks total.
Yeah, that makes sense too.
Honestly with the tech where it is today, there’s really no downsides to wireless with a dongle except maybe price at certain brackets. Most modern wireless gaming mice are as good if not better than their wired counterparts. If you don’t care about sensor performance or polling rate, you can still get a cheapo wireless mouse that performs about as well as the cheapo wired mouse you were gonna get anyway with the added convenience of no cables.
This is close enough to reality that I’m irritated.
It’s reminding me of the 3rd party utility apps on the Apple Store.
They seem to have ditched “limited features for free” in favour of “nothing at all until you subscribe, first 7 days free”
Close enough? Ma dude, Logitech really wanted to do this shit, but has to backpedal after getting massive flak.
Quickest way to make me DIY my own mouse.
I didn’t believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake…
move those decimals over one.
Add a free tier and base it around gacha mechanics.
Every now and then there’d be a duck hunt bird flying over your windows and it would stop turning only if clicked. This is accumulative, meaning you being AFK gives you two, three ducks flying over your desktop, up to the arbitrary limit of 255.
Ah yes and once you’ve reached max duck you get a 90 second ad for essential oils or you’re free to click all the ducks.
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.
This hurts to read.
No, you can’t disable AI, because “people want that” ™
Thanks Satan
At least this provider gives unlimited free scrolling!
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.
$10 for unlimited scrolling!
Is scrolling extra?
My current led mouse has been going for 10 years with no signs of slowing down, so take that sub and stuff it
You know what, I’d be all behind a subscription mouse so long as it includes periodic hardware upgrades and unlimited warranty replacements no questions asked so long as the subscription is paid.
Admittedly, I’d be trying to figure out the most interesting ways to actively destroy mice to make them rue the day they thought a mouse subscription was a good idea, but that’s beside the point. Why no, I can’t return the damaged mouse, it’s at the bottom of a hole in the woods no human has been down since the civil war. Just like it was none of your business how I found out that the mouse isn’t resistant to hydrofluoric acid.
Well, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. I have a Trackman from 2004 that’s still plugging along, no subscription software updates required. If your stuff isn’t shit, it lasts forever anyways.
I remember back when Logitech was a brand that was known for quality.
Don’t give them ideas
Lol Logitech has already tried.
