Maybe if they have you the mouse for free a sub fee a per month would be reasonable. But it's a mouse. What killer software could one be paying for for a mouse subscription.
Yeah I was more thinking the mouse be free plus any replacements in the future.
Then you would break even after about 5 years ($60)
Unfortunately I believe that was still a mouse you'd have to pay for up front, you'd just get a subscription on top of that.
Oh, I’m sure you pay the whole price up front. You can’t think like a rational person with these things, only a capitalist. The only thing that changes is that now Logitech has a stable revenue stream and gets to turn off your mouse if you stop paying for even a second.
