    So if you miss a payment your mouse shuts off?

    How is your standing policed, with an always online requirement? So if I move and need to wait to get my internet up, I can’t use my mouse?

    Are they legally liable for lifetime support or are you signing away that right in the EULA and they can end support for your “lifetime” mouse on a whim?

    I’d rather rent my furniture than subscribe to a mouse, but both practices are exploiting this world’s rampant financial illiteracy.

      They could probably do that in windows by adding some service that checks if the mouse is valid… Since on windows it’s using Logitech drivers.

      On Linux it’s open source so no way they can do anything.

      How is no one pointing out that a mouse subscription would make it so that if you missed a payment then (the majority of) people literally wouldn’t be able to re subscribe since, you know, most people use a mouse to do things on the internet.
