Came here to see they were bringing back a wired trackman
Found they're planning a subscription based mouse
Waiting for delivery of some omron switches to repair one of my three broken wires trackballs
It appears that their plans for durable goods is actually a plan for subscriptions to engineered obsolescence.

And apparently, they are backpedalling HARD!!
But beware, the idea is already there.
The Best Mouse I've had so far, doesn't have a Laser you can see, it's literally outside the Visual Spectrum....
My first Logitech mouse was a master class of durability, performance, and comfort. It lasted me almost ten years.
They bought unto planned obsolescence hook line and sinker.
My PC speakers are Logitech z-550's that I bought in the late 90s/ early 2000s. 20 plus years and they work fine. I'm sure this isn't what they mean my a forever mouse though, they'd have to start building things better.
Mine from the early 90s....
