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.
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 have a mouse that plugs into a COM port as my 286 doesn't have USB or PS/2. I'm not entirely sure how old it is, but I'd be surprised if it post dates 1990
Anyway, good luck making a forever mouse when the main cause for replacing mouses is their connector being out dated
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 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).
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!
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"
idk I've been thinking about getting the standard plan. 10k clicks isn't much, but If i quit Leauge, then I think i can get by. And I can't stand the ad supported basic tier anymore. I can't take one more ad for that crypto exchange
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.
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.
I've managed to pay under $20 for all I can click mice. They last more than a year typically. Even with tariffs, I'm getting a chinese mouse, and y'all can f the f off.
That honestly sounds like a bad deal. Before recently replacing it, I had a $35 dollar mouse that lasted through 12 years of heavy gaming. Either you are inhumanly rough on your mice, or you might want to spend a little bit more for something quality.
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
Nah, I already got the 24,99 family plan that includes 500 premium clicks every month. I just hope they don't follow through with their crackdown on account sharing.
When you click a button it's actually two events, a button down and a button up. That is how you are able to grab something and move it, by clicking and holding and then later releasing.
Premium clicks include both the button down and button up events. Non-premium clicks are button down only.
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.
