    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”

      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.

      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.
