How long could a mouse take to reboot, Michael? An hour?
No, you can’t disable AI, because “people want that” ™
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.
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
It’s all fun and games, until it becomes real and people buy it, then all competitors align and it’s the new norm.
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
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.
☹️ but i cant click to subscribe.
You can, but it’s 10 cents a click!
Just buy a second mouse. C’mon dude, it’s like you’re not even trying to pay!
puts dollar near CD drive
it actually takes it
Holy shit.
I have a CD drive!
You can only click after watching
3511 ads.Data pack work like that, the page to order the data pack doesn’t cost anything to reach.
I would assume that the app would have click working
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.
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.
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.

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.
“I can get out anytime I want, I just like it here” - vim user
Is it HP mouse?
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
Logitech “floated” the idea of subscription mouses (aka: tried to see how bad the market resistance would be). They want to do it so bad.
the mere process of presenting such an idea to the internet was enough to make me never buy logi-junk again
It’s OK you’re not missing anything, the last three Logitech mice I had died to switch failure in like 6 months so they’re not worth buying anyway
Which is sad. I liked the hardware I’ve had from them, but I haven’t bought new in a few years. The mouse has treated me much better than Razers I’ve had over the years. Sad that their quality has (predictably) started circling the drain as well.
Also, what mouse or brand do you recommend buying instead?
I just love the roccat kone aimo because I have lumberjack hands and every other mouse is just too small. Sadly their left click gets used quite rapidly, nothing crazy IMO but it’s a shame tossing an expensive mouse just for that (and losing the click or double clicking drives you crazy quickly, ha ha!) so I bought some microswitches from aliexpress and swapped them out in both of my mice. Fiddly but works perfectly now!
Yeah it irritates me that the sensors always go so soon. You’d think the tech would advance past this, but it’s been a complaint for years at this point.
Got my little pouch of microswitches for the forseable future :-)
For what I found, it’s like they all use the same switches too 🤷🏼♀️
That was gonna be my rec too. I bought a Kone and it’s been an amazing mouse for me.
I like their hardware too, I still have an ancient pair of g200 headphones with mic that still work great. I use it regularly. But their mice peripherals have fallen tf off.
Like Valmond recommend I went to a Roccat mouse - they’re a less well known Japanese brand. I’ve had mine for over two and a half years and it’s been amazing.
I didn’t know Roccat was less well known. Or that they were Japanese. But at least now I know what I’m looking at when my mouse finally kicks the bucket.
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.
