Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber revealed an interesting “eternal mouse” project during a conversation with The Verge, which attracted the attention of the online community. The idea was for owners of the device to pay for regular firmware updates after purchasing it. However, this caused a backlash from users, who considered the idea an attempt to impose unnecessary services.
The sudden storm in a teacup has prompted a comment from Logitech. The company says it has no plans to release a subscription mouse. A spokesperson stressed that the idea of an “eternal mouse” is not part of its plans. It was simply holding internal discussions about the possibility of creating more environmentally friendly electronics for consumers. Discussing the concept at the company’s innovation center may indicate that Logitech is looking for new sources of revenue.
