Logitech Unveils 'Forever Mouse': A $200 Lifetime Device with Self-Repair and Subscription Model
  • Logitech is developing a premium product called the 'Forever Mouse,' which aims to last a lifetime without requiring future purchases.

  • CEO Hanneke Faber revealed details about the mouse during an interview with The Verge, discussing its potential features and future updates.

  • Faber elaborated on the concept of a 'forever mouse' that could be used indefinitely, supported by regular software updates.

  • The Forever Mouse is expected to receive software patches for new features, eliminating the need for users to purchase new models for improvements.

  • The design may include easy self-repairability with replaceable parts, enhancing its appeal for long-term use.

  • Logitech already sells parts for self-repairs through iFixit and could expand this service for the Forever Mouse to include more components and guides.

  • Faber indicated that a subscription model for the mouse is a possibility, reflecting a growing trend in the tech industry.

  • While specific costs for the product and subscription service remain undisclosed, Faber hinted at a potential price of around $200.

  • Concerns exist about customer acceptance of a regular fee for accessing the mouse's features, as seen with similar models in the market.

  • The device is designed to be durable, contributing to Logitech's climate goals by reducing electronic waste through refurbishment options.

  • The proposed price for the Forever Mouse could limit its audience to professionals or enthusiasts, given that the average price of a mouse is about $26.

  • Faber predicts that future AI developments will lead to multimodal interactions, requiring less manual prompting from users.
