Logitech, the mouse manufacturing giant, has been met with ridicule in the past for its “Forever Mouse” concept – a device that comes with a monthly subscription fee for software updates. However, after using their wireless Logitech G502 Lightspeed mouse, which still functions without issue despite being nearly three and a half years old, it’s clear that the idea isn’t as far-fetched as initially thought.
The mouse in question is slowly disintegrating due to wear and tear, but its battery has held up well thanks to a convenient wireless charging pad. The buttons and sensor are still functioning optimally. On the other hand, the soft rubber grips have worn down significantly after just a few years of use.
This experience highlights Logitech’s opportunity to create a truly long-lasting product that requires minimal maintenance. By incorporating features like wireless charging and durable design elements, they could make their mice last longer and reduce waste. It’s time for Logitech to take a second look at the “Forever Mouse” concept and make it a reality that benefits both consumers and the environment.
