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.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I didn’t believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake…

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”

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 remember back when Logitech was a brand that was known for quality.

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
Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month ago
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.

your red pixel clicking cartridge has run out. you wont be able to click on any other pixels until you refill your red pixel clicking cartridge.

Data pack work like that, the page to order the data pack doesn’t cost anything to reach.
I would assume that the app would have click working
cmrn@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Oh god oh no I used my last click now I can’t select a plan
Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes you can! Only $0.10 per additional click!
ByteMe@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And how will I click that? Oh, it’s automatic! For our convenience!
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s a good thing that market is so saturated that there’d always be a cheap uncomplicated mouse with all your features, unless you’re some sort of MMO mouse person.
That said, a company can probably still sell this to the government with enough lobbying. Those chumps love wasting cash on subscriptions they don’t need (looking at you, Adobe Cloud).
queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
That’s why they’ll make it so Windows requires your mouse to have official Microsoft drivers for compatibility.

Living in 2024, I’m not even sure if this is a joke or not. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a subscription for damn oxygen soon. Oh, wait, that’s taxes!
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s only partially a joke. I can’t remember who but some company was bragging about their subscription based mouse they had in the works.
Breadhax0r@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This reads like an onion article. Who’s constantly buying new mice? And they’re trying to target consumers who “don’t have both a mouse and keyboard” by trying to sell them a $200 mouse…
I’ve been using the same razer chroma I bought 15 years ago and it’s still perfectly fine.

Unless you pay a carbon tax or pay taxes that pay for CCS, taxes aren’t supplying air.

Business idea: The mouse manufacturers play the middle man in the click economy. Users can add an extra “click safety” package for $3,99/month, which prevents them from clicking on ads/misleading content. “Good” and “ethical” advertisers can get in touch with the “business communication” office of the mouse manufacturers to buy exception deals, because “their ads are okay”

is Logitech known for this? Not this exactly, I get that it’s a meme, but enshitification in general? I have a Logitech mouse and haven’t experienced anything that’s particularly money hungry other than the initial pricing and I think a twitch popup or something stupid
Toes@ani.social 1 month ago
move those decimals over one.
Add a free tier and base it around gacha mechanics.
andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Every now and then there’d be a duck hunt bird flying over your windows and it would stop turning only if clicked. This is accumulative, meaning you being AFK gives you two, three ducks flying over your desktop, up to the arbitrary limit of 255.
Toes@ani.social 1 month ago
Ah yes and once you’ve reached max duck you get a 90 second ad for essential oils or you’re free to click all the ducks.

I’ve managed to pay under $20 for all I can click mice. They last more than a year typically. Even with tariffs, I’m getting a chinese mouse, and y’all can f the f off.
acidrobot@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I see you’re getting a subpar keyboard rate
Mesophar@lemm.ee 1 month ago
That honestly sounds like a bad deal. Before recently replacing it, I had a $35 dollar mouse that lasted through 12 years of heavy gaming. Either you are inhumanly rough on your mice, or you might want to spend a little bit more for something quality.
zerkrazus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’d just get a mouse that doesn’t have this bullshit before paying for this. I’ll buy used if needed. I’m not subscribing to a fucking mouse.
maiskanzler@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Nah, I already got the 24,99 family plan that includes 500 premium clicks every month. I just hope they don’t follow through with their crackdown on account sharing.
Rubanski@lemm.ee 1 month ago
What do those premium clicks do?
Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 month ago
When you click a button it’s actually two events, a button down and a button up. That is how you are able to grab something and move it, by clicking and holding and then later releasing.
Premium clicks include both the button down and button up events. Non-premium clicks are button down only.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I want to know what priority support looks like for a mouse.
Like what questions would you ask? How would they troubleshoot before sending you to tier 3 support?
actually@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Enhanced clicks use AI to help predict where you want to move the mouse and pre-clicks it, saving some time and effort .
The elite plan allows game cheats in selected games developed by trusted partners .
Not at all responsible for wrong clicks.
ByteMe@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Is scrolling extra?
