Comment on Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

They’re talking about a Trackball mouse e.g., not the pre laser mice (or they’re nuts). Good ergonomics, useful for carpal tunnel etc.

FWIW I’ve found their high-end mice pretty robust, my MX Master 2 is still going strong 5+ years in, if cosmetically challenged. Amortised over time, the price is not so bad.

Oooh right trackball-mice. Totally forgot they exist 😁 Ok the mice are ok. For the price. Nothing is like it was before. But their keyboards… Some months later the markings already peel off, cables break very quickly.

I find anything with that coated plastic over time gets crappy. I still have an old X52 pro I've had for probably around 15 years now. In the end I just completely took off the flaking rubber style coating they put over it and it's now shiny plastic and still going strong.

I also have a G502 that's 6 years old. It has some worn areas where it's actively held and on the buttons. I replaced the skates last year and have a spare set. Otherwise, still going strong.

Really not sure why I'd subscribe for something that lasts so long and isn't THAT expensive to replace.
