Perfect name. I’m forever not renting this mouse.
A forever mouse as in really resistant right? Oh, oh no, oh fuck no
Wtf why does literally everything need a subscription now??? How much money do these companies think I have to spend on this shit? I’m sure as hell not going to ever pay a monthly subscription fee to be able to use a mouse that I already had to pay $200 for up front…
From the article:
“Subscription models have been gaining popularity among business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) tech companies because they offer a more reliable, recurring revenue source than hardware sales.”
Well, I reckon I’ve been using the same $15 mouse for close to a decade now and it still works fine. If it stops working I’d much rather just buy another $15 mouse than have another goddamned bill to pay every month
Why the fuck would a mouse need software updates? It just needs to translate movement into cursor coordinates, and record clicks. It’s a very simple tool.
