      Honestly I wouldn’t mind if a company charged like, $1/month or something reasonable like that but for some reason some asshole made it standard practice to charge $10-$15/month for literally anything and now everyone uses that as the starting point for their “services”

        I’m choosing to pronounce the first part of your handle as “roog” instead of pyre. Also, have an upvote. That’s way too many downvotes for sharing an earnest opinion.

        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.
