They missed so many opportunities to make it actually a nightmare. Adding these should help…

Standard plan:

  • 2 DPI settings. (50, 32000)

Premium plan:

  • 3 DPI settings! (50, 100, 32000)
  • Ad Free!

Pro-gamer plan ($45/mo)

  • Mouse acceleration toggle
  • 1 customizable DPI settings (more available @ $5/mo each)
  • Middle mouse click functionality unlocked! (Bound to backspace. Customizable binding @ $2/mo)
  • 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.

Edit: formatting

How long could a mouse take to reboot, Michael? An hour?

No, you can’t disable AI, because “people want that” ™

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.

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 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

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.
