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

I’m not planning to throw that watch away ever. So why would I be throwing my mouse or my keyboard away if it’s a fantastic-quality, well-designed, software-enabled mouse?

Because watch technology is mature and isn’t changing. Nobody’s making a better watch every few years.

That generally isn’t true of computer hardware.

In the 1980s, you had maybe a one or two button mouse with mechanical optical encoder rings turned by a ball that gummed up and would stick.

After that:

If wristwatches had improved like that over the past 40 years, you likely wouldn’t be keeping an older one either.
