During a recent episode of The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber shed some possible insight into the company’s view on one of its most important products. Saying that “the mouse built this house,” Faber shares the planning behind a Forever Mouse, a premium product that the company hopes will be the last you ever have to buy. There’s also a discussion about a subscription-based service and a deeper focus on AI.
For now, details on a Forever Mouse are thin, but you better believe there will be a catch. The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.
I’ll never buy a wired mouse again 🤷♂️
I never want to have to worry about charging my mouse 🤷♂️
A mouse that takes AA batteries are the best! No charging needed, just replace the battery once or twice a year.
Or use rechargeable AAs.
I am getting sick of one-off proprietary batteries in a form factor I’ll never see again or worse are permanently baked into a device.
