Thanks Satan
How long could a mouse take to reboot, Michael? An hour?
$10 for unlimited scrolling!
And it will anti cheat a little on the cheap tier when you play games.
This is close enough to reality that I’m irritated.
Close enough? Ma dude, Logitech really wanted to do this shit, but has to backpedal after getting massive flak.
I didn’t believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake…
Quickest way to make me DIY my own mouse.
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”
Do not read aloud from a book that summons demons. Not even as a joke.
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.
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.
It’s all fun and games, until it becomes real and people buy it, then all competitors align and it’s the new norm.
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.
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.
Third party clicking cartridge detected. Please purchase a supported cartridge from Logitech, or our partnered retailers.
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.
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.
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.
This reads like an onion article. Who’s constantly buying new mice? And they’re trying to target consumers who “don’t have both a mouse and keyboard” by trying to sell them a $200 mouse…
I’ve been using the same razer chroma I bought 15 years ago and it’s still perfectly fine.
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”
Vim users: *entirely unaffected*
They won’t even see the ad because they can’t get out of Vim.
Is it HP mouse?
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
Thanks. The T-BB18 is definitely bigger than the modern m575. And even though I don’t have huge hands, it is still more comfortable to me. I made an ergonomic stand for it, too. Totally copied the concept from one somebody did for the m570, but it had to be bigger and have completely different mounting.
Don’t give them ideas
Lol Logitech has already tried.
Wat
Jesus Christ
