    Ploopy kinda fills that niche, as the bits are replaceable and the non-generic parts don’t require stuff like your own injection moulding equipment. Not quite there yet, nor do they have a the full range of stuff you might want (and what they do have isn’t cheap), but it’s a nice start.

      Thanks for the link, I did not know about this outfit (and jeez, I know naming stuff is hard, but “Ploopy” is kinda bad as a company name).

      While I appreciate what they’re trying to do, the aesthetics are very much “hackerspace afficionado”. Logi could presumably bring premium materials and finishing to a “forever mouse”.

        Naming themselves after something which implies immortality would’ve been my pick - something like “Theseus”, to suggest a Ship-of-Theseus kind of immortality, I dunno.

      apparently there was a yellow soda in the 90s named “urge.” until now that was the worst product name I’d heard
