not to mention microsoft talking about making windows operating system subcription based come 2025. they want to make it so you have to pay to use your computer that you already paid for.
I could never imagine it's possible to make something that sounds like communism so perverse.

2:40 “You really think the average computer user knows how to bind a key to their mouse”
I hate how he’s right
What scares me most is how few people realize this.
It should be common sense. If you can change keybinds in a game, so could you in computer settings. If you don't know how, you can Google it. Learning features nowadays is a 3 min task.

Absolutely
Thinking this is a good idea should be illegal. Off to the funny farm for you.
Nah, capitalism baby, they can do whatever. They will fail and suffer the consequences of course - that's the best part.
why stop to just a monthly subscription? add a battle pass into the logitech mouse too, go all the way
and a battle royale mode
Just put a slot machine instead of a scroll wheel at this point
Can also add loot boxes. Every 1000th click you get the chance to purchase a loot box for $9.99. Possible loot includes a wallpaper of a mouse or nothing.
@@scaryjam8HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I DIEEED HAHAHAHHA
lol if you do 1000 clicks on advertising website you unlock 2 hrs free mouse use timem oops shouldn't give logi any ideas.
You're thinking too small. Picture this: mouse skins. LEDs within the mouse will change colors/patterns... provided you didn't get yet another duplicate.
Imagine its the last round in a CS match, both teams are 1 point away from winning and when you start shooting someone the mouse dies because you didnt pay the subscription
1) they want you to sign in to their service so they can sell the data they mine off you.
2) They want you paying a subscription so they can keep collecting your money after purchase.
3) They will brick the product and force you to go buy another model so they can repeat steps 1&2.
It's the modern business model, particularly, the Chinese business model.
Extract as much profit as possible per customer while disregarding any value that a customer can get from your product.
Also, have an impossible refund process.
Imagine, they stop supporting it like a windows version. "Sorry your mouse is unsupported"
At least send me a new mouse if im gonna be forced to sub smfh
problem is that they really can't. unlike with streaming or printers everyone can make mice and the market has a good amount of competition.
nobody is gonna go for a 10$ a month sub vs a 10$ a month repayment on a competitors mouse . they would really need to go for an incredibly low subscription fee.
@@oompalumpus699How is this a Chinese business model when this practice is more infamous in the US? Genuinely curious.

A major issue with business these days is No Conpany Seems to Care AT ALL about Repeat customers or locals, and Worst of All, so many stores ready to dry out their locals for a quick penny for the month
Yea its bizarre. like theyre looting while they got the chance.
I noticed this too. seems like most corporations sacrifice long term sustainability in exchange for generating as much revenue in the now as possible
My observation is, the decision makers on top know they aren't there long term. It isn't really *their* business, they are getting paid to maximize profit now, not over x-years and their value as hired help in the future depends on how good they do *right now*. So they did that in the past with more normal methods and it worked, but since there doesn't exist infinite growth and the last 20% percent of any endeavor take up 80% of the effort, as the saying goes, they now have to come up with batshit insane ideas and crazy schemes to keep the ball rolling uphill.

Logitech posted a question on their fb page and I answered it.
"No, they suck and your idea about a mouse subscription is complete balls."
Their response:
Hi Rann, there are no plans for a subscription mouse. The 'forever mouse' mentioned is not an actual or planned product, but a peek into provocative internal thinking on future possibilities for more sustainable consumer electronics.
Spin.
Translating it: "we wanted to see if you all would fall for it... being the suckers you are." Also... there are no ANNOUNCED plans. But I net my ass the intention is already in motion.

bro logitech mice already do that for free, just use them for a couple weeks and the feature unlocks
They even include a scroll wheel that scrolls by itself.
Try blowing into the mouse. I'm not kidding, for me it fixes the issue to 90% whenever it reappears. Something something moisture or something.

Funnily enough, of all of the Logitech mice I've ever owned, the cheapest ones seem to never have this issue. Odd huh?
24:55 if I could buy a forever mouse, one that I could repair easily with easily available parts, or just doesn't break as easily through wear, I would buy it immediately, but no company does that in a form factor I want to use.
3d print the form factor you want
What are you doing that you break a mouse monthly?
That's because you don't have the right to repair in America lol
These corporations are getting wild. Pay us per month to use the features of your car, pay us to use your computer mouse. NOOOOO, how about I not buy any of your products ever again instead.

The horse armor DLC is the greatest living example of a butterfly effect.
Just imagine how much worse it will get
So how do we Mandela effect this Butterfly effect?
Horse armor DLC is one of greatest exemples of people parroting words. Microtransaction were already a thing in many asian games (ex. Maple Story) and afterwards it hit mobile games before becoming the a main staple of high budget games in the west. Even in the 360 era a ton of games had a few small optional purchases which didn't evolve anywhere until many years afterwards.
@@Blockhead2I mean, horse armor is from 360 era. And probably the most mainstream example of it. So what's your "even in" was referring to?

Youre hurting larry fink's feelings
Cause that subscription worked so well for HP inkjet printers which they had to reverse lately.
I have an hp jet I bought a few years ago and I swear everytime i gotta go print something it’s the same struggle of trying to connect it to wifi and getting bombarded with ink subscriptions when I’ve never even used up a cartridge so far
I had terrible experiences with HP printers. Like 15 years ago I had an expensive multifunctional that was (luckily) replaced with warranty, but it stopped working after maybe 100 pages printed. The replacement lasted around a year with very few prints. Then I bought a cheap printer, the cartridges were more expensive than the printer and I oucl print like 30pages before needing new ink.
On 2020 with the pandemic and virtual classes at college I bought an Epson L3150 (tests had for some classes had to be handwritten and scanned) and I'm inlove with it! Around 4500pages printed and I'm still using the og color bottles, the only thing I'm worried is the ink expiration date, but this Epson made me remember an old Stylus 300 I had back in 2000s, great printers.
It's because Taiwan ran out of chips to put in the cartridges... People would have continued being idiots subscribing to it if the chips didn't stop flowing during covid.
@@jorggamingcr409 I'll be honest as soon as I saw "HP" I immediately thought "I wonder if they changed to Ecotanks"
Best decision ever so underrated printers.
Oh man that sub was so bad, if your CC expired on your online account, doesn’t matter if you had full tanks, they shut down your printer. I had to fix an old guys printer who fell prey to that.
You know what? Now I don't think Apple is the worst electronics company.
You know what other mouse was a _"Forever Mouse"_ ? Every other mouse ever sold before.
Right? I've only replaced two mice over the course of my entire life, and the first one was from what once was a Family Computer that everyone used.
right? Like back in the day you used to have to clean it out and remove the ball. You don't even need to do that anymore.
They do wear out after a while but that usually takes the 10million clicks they are rated for
I actually still have a working MX1000, a wireless laser mouse that has been used for family PC's since 2004. That mouse has been working since i was a fucking child.
The battery has not even been replaced once, and it still holds charge lol. Way to heavy for gaming now, but you work with what is there as a kid.
@@WorldWalker128 I only replace them cause of wear or the pads or stuff like that, never had a mouse die on me lol

I thought no one was dumb enough to buy HP subscription ink and then found that my parents did after spending an hour trying to figure out why their printer wasn't working.
I can’t say anything about that. I bought my printer and at the time they had an HP Insta-ink 3 month free trial, but they had it set to where if someone else used your referral code it would give them 3 free months on top of their 3 free months and it also gave me another 3 free months. So I bought the printer from Amazon and in the Amazon review for the printer I fully disclosed the 3 free month program. You do not pay until your free trial runs out. I’ve never paid for anything till my free trial ends. It currently ends in November of 2029. Free ink till then! 😂
Sad reality is, the market is decided by majority and if majority is dumb, the product is for stupid
A subscription for a printer is also the most ridiculous bullshit ever
That would make office job even more hellish then they are.
Part of the reason I detest HP printers. I'll happily spend multiples of the price for a better printer that I have actual control over.
For large companies it could work, or may photographers (companies not solo workers). Each month getting the right amount of inkt without any effort. I had a personal coffee sub every 3 months i got a lot of coffeebeans with 10% discount on the total price. That worked like a charm. But a mouse sub… a mouse is a thing you buy once in two years or so. Its not going to be used up like coffee and ink.
I thought those subscriptions were to get ink monthly or something, is this not the case?
@@wiclarefor a few months late last year HP laserjets FORCED you to sign up for a monthly subscription. But it went over so poorly they scraped it back in the spring of 2024. The only other sub they offer is for ink which is totally optional on all machines. The only catch with that subscription is if you cancel you need to go out and buy new ink cartridges.
Most companies brick old devices with their new "compatible drivers" and "security updates" to force consumers to pay for their new models that are attached to subscription models like HP and Apple.
Except the security updates are legit. Intel management engine is exposed and can get you hacked. Same thing with early gen ryzen cpus. The hackers won't stop and are the 2nd reason why insurance is so high in the medical field.
Wow, ok. So... Basically they're trying to slide a subscription fee for a mouse? For a piece of hardware that you supposedly bought with your own money (which would be in the realm of 200 bucks, apparently)? People need to set their foot down and stay firm on not allowing these practices get so out of hand. They are testing the boundaries of what they can get away with and how profitable they can make it.
If people let this one slide, and don't put a stop to this madness, where will it stop? What comes next? A subscription fee for using the keyboard? What about... The computer monitor? Would I need an independent subscription for my monitor to work at all? And the speakers? What if this goes beyond the realm of gaming and computers? Am I gonna need a monthly payment plan to be able to use my toaster? Or maybe my microwave? Where is it gonna stop?
They'll keep pushing and pushing until they find the limit, and that limit is either people telling them a solid 'No' or people just running out of money to pay them anymore. Personally I prefer the first option, the sooner the better.
The ever proliferating greediness of investors n board members and dumb CEOs pathetic attempts to keep the fat junts fat with increasing profits...
Man. My car has features that are behind a subscription.
@@Aweburn82Found logitec's target audience for the mouse.
@@Maybeabandaid9 I don't pay for them. And yeah I fucked up when I bought that car. I didn't know it had multiple subscriptions like that. Don't buy a BMW.

lol yeah that was dumb as shit, it was already built in and I think people were just hacking the cars to make it work lol
some time in the future: when you can only use your left mouse button with the free subscription and must watch 5 ads for every click, you get the right button only with the premium subscription and you still have to watch 2 ads for every click. of course you have to go for a gold or platinum subscription if you want a mouse wheel, you may even be required to agree to give away your organs in order to disable ads.

A female CEO = The only explanation that was needed.
Exactly ^this.
not all women are incompetent, to say or act like they are is not good.
this is just pritty typical ceo style behaviour, remember that guy who jacked up the insulin price.
Fun fact:
If they ever say this is a better deal for you than buying a mouse once 2-3 years, it's a lie. If it really was, they wouldn't be doing that because it would cost them more than selling you a new mouse
How it usually works is that they'll take a "lossy" deal for the first couple years, to bait people into seeing it as a good deal, then they start upping the price tag and applying stipulations to make it profitable after people have already committed to it.
Bro I bought Logitechs G600 mouse around 2010 and it literally lasted over a decade for me. It had its little problems but my god I loved that brick.
Reminds me of my days as a sales agent, (telco business) we convinced customers to switch to a plan that cost them less but the company upped the price six months later.
Company made more money, customers ended up paying more.
I bought a hyperx gaming mouse that got repaired for 3rd time, it's still serve me since 2016
The trick to locking you in is also that you won’t be trying out a competitors mouse so you’re stuck with them.
A subscription service to use your mouse, eh?

Why not have a subscription service to use your mouse, it's not like theirs any competition in the mice sector, oh wait. Well I guess there is, but it's not like you can get a cheap mouse that just works for what you need it for. oh wait....
It's sad to see them do this. I've used Logitech's well, TECH for a long time. At least a decade. I like their stuff for the most part. This wireless keyboard loses connection occasionally, but it's not too big a deal since I don't play games competitively and if it ever really bothers me, I can get a wired one.
To see them go Full-Retard is nothing but disappointing.

I remember when software licensing started moving toward subscriptions in the 2010s and customers were pissed and nobody saw the value. Instead of paying for new software every few years for a good jump in innovation, now they pay every year for a lesser product.

Almost, if not all Subs are scams, fundamentally.
I've always thought this unless it's live service where a team behind the scenes is keeping it up and running. But after the market gets flooded and you realize one company owns 80% of all the subs you have then yeah 1000000000000% a scam. Hulu Disney HBO you can have them individually or you can bundle them.... why not just have them all under one title and then sub categories. They literally already do it in each app why not one? Because greed that's why!
Not fundamentally just in every modern application they're a rip off.
Idk that this is a justifiable statement. For example netflix, crunchyroll, or newspapers all provide more content per dollar by a significant margin than outright buying each of the aforementioned products.
Regarding video games like wow or osrs, I may agree to some degree. However, it's probably a lot more comprehensible to the consumer to pay a sub than pay for every update, possibly including some bug fixes. I would argue in these cases, companies certainly make a larger profit margin than they would using other monetization methods (other than micro transactions) but it does come with its benefits.
In both of the above cases however... there are some really shady practices that they begin implementing (like the lowered resolution that the video mentioned), or just not giving the playerbase worthwhile updates that are ultra low effort.
Regarding cars... mice... etc, yeah, it's just an absolute scam.
i mean everything that requires a server to run is kinda reasonable because of energy and service cost but most other subs yeah, totally
Services like Netflix were a legitimate use of the application. You don't own the shows you're just paying for access, so it's cheap and temporary. Damn near everything else is a straight-up scam. It's just as bad as "buying" an ebook on Amazon, etc. Buying means owning, and if the seller can take it away and stop you from using it outside their platform or giving it away, they still own it. People think that's normal, and in a few more years, these nonsense subscriptions will be normalised, too.
A subscription to a mouse is only good IF, it detects that the buttons are worn out and sends you a new one.
The mouse on its own is a consumable item and there is NO need for a sub. The only reason would be to have the newest and most precise one. So only "necessary" for e-sportlers. XD
Mouse should be free if it needs a subscription. Pay the subscription for when you use it
at some point they are gonna put an electric barrier at our houses and force us to pay a subscription to enter

It's called mortgage.

When I start hearing the same line from the World Economic Forum in 2016. And now in gaming, then slowly starting to see it in practice. Like Cloud gaming, digital purchases, subscription based gaming like Game pass. The defence of subscriptions "makes more profit" justifies why they keep doing it and want to push for it. And most people are none the wiser.
It's because they have the same agenda as Blackrock/Vanguard, which pretty much owns everything already..

But sadly, Reps have decided that it is better to poison the minds of people by spreading fake information about the WEF knowing very well that most people won’t read the actual essay. All they needed was to pull a phrase from the essay and use it as a headline
I don't want AI on any of my devices. It's like having a FBI agent on your computer reporting everything you do to whatever corporation.
This reminds me of the subscription service for a motorcycle airbag vest. Guaranteed to protect your life until you miss a payment.
Isn’t that subscription for the auto 911 dialing service? IIRC it’s still an enclosed accelerometer and tether system
@@scubarubanzaii it may be for one of them but last I had checked I believe it was the Klim vest where it’s 400 for the vest and u can pay 12 a month for it to work and it gets unlimited updates and a new brain for the system every 3 years or just pay an additional 400 to unlock everything with a 2 year warranty and basic updates.

My #1 requirement when buying a mouse: no software.
Spelled Bloatware wrong.
Don't buy Razor. They are whores for software now.
I disagree. It's not great that you need extra software but it's nice to be able to rebind buttons, change the polling rate and DPI, provide updates, multiple profiles, etc. Unless you're a super basic user, you're gonna want these things. Technically, you don't need the software for the mouse to work but you'd be missing out on these features.
@@MicrowavedFurby It's different if you decide to use external software that you control. If closed source proprietary software from the manufacturer of a device is needed, they can choose the end of life of the product.
@@bobsinclair8990 Ok but, other than this dumb AI concept, a mouse won't just randomly stop working because it's no longer supported. Other than installing drivers, you mouse will work regardless of whether or not you use the proprietary software.
I will never purchase a Logitech item again.
There will be a future where I have to access to the black market for a device that has no subscription.
As long as you have a subscription for the black market.

Razer Synapse updates a ridiculous amount and yet the only inconsistency in features that come with every update is whether or not my lights work.
Razer Synapse is the reason why I threw my old still-working Death Adder in the drawer. I'm not dealing with yet another intrusive custom software. It's only *a mouse*. I don't care about the lights on your mouse.
I recently switched to razer because the logitech software was actually giving me input latency on my keyboard and mouse and i can say that at least synapse lets me save custom profiles into the on board memory and i can uninstall it because is just bloatware when im done setting them up.
You guys don't have to use RGB bloatware like Synapse. OpenRGB is a free, open source, lightweight alternative.
@@jesuslobo3178 True. On windows 11 the logitech crap pesters you automatically and persistently until you install it.
I have some buttons on the side of my mouse and its funny to just make some crazy 0ms delay autoclick that can be started anytime i play some roblox games with a friend lol
12:10 Hey, I have the G402, that looks a little less extreme than that. And the reason I chose it was simply that I spent half an hour in the electronics store trying out all the mice they had there to see how they fit in my hand and move in regards to their weight, for I certainly don't want to end up with cramps for a too small or weirdly layouted mouse. And this was it. Perfect fit, several thumb-buttons. Easy rest for palm and fingers. Doesn't matter that it looks like scifi-nonsense. It fits well.
Video gets posted and a bunch of half-naked pfp bot accounts have already commented lol

What fucking next light bulb subscription. 1 dollar to flush a toilet. 5 dollars a mouth subscription for a store.
BMW has a subscription for the heated seats and adaptive cruise control. Keep in mind that both of these features are already installed in the car and you paid for them when you bought the car, But you have to pay the subscription to use them.
These bots are insane. Asmon you getting all the ladies bro

@@anacc3257 as far as RUclips goes, they probably don't see the problem as being worth the money and effort to fix it.
I'm sure somewhere in the EULA it says something about how you may own the mouse (hardware), but you don't own the software it runs on, that's on a lease.. a lot like buying a car. You own the body panels, wheels, engine, etc. but you do not own the computer that controls all of these things. According to MANY manufacturers in the auto department you are leasing the software that makes the engine run, the air conditioning turn on, audio entertainment system, etc. this is why companies like BMW are charging subscriptions for the heated seats, and other features that are already equipped to the car. People pay for auto driving in Teslas too despite it being clearly stated a beta project on-lease (you don't own it you're just given access) and also clearly states it is not safe to use, and you should be paying attention 24/7. So there may be a market for this. There are plenty of idiots who pay for things they don't need/want.
cant afford food because my monthly subcription for keyboard, mouse, monitor is too high
Don't worry, food will be a subscription service based on your social credit score. If you work 18 hours a day, you get to have some food.
@@halowafflesMost people will get something like food rather than the good stuff. Only those in power will get meat for example...
I think the worst version of this was BMW charging a sub to turn on the seat warmer, hardware built in to the car you paid thousands for, remotely deactivated!
What people dont realize about seat warmers too is that they're basically just a 5 cent piece of wire.
Can you jailbreak Cars?
0:38 he didn't know about this? this became like a huge meme a couple years ago lol
Buying a PC in 2040 is going to be like “Comes with 143 pre installed software from developers so you can access the internet, terms & conditions apply, see monthly recurring billing rate below. Monthly: $249.00 + TAX (Includes peripheral support for 17 major brands)
I knew Logitech is getting greedy when they released G102 Lightsync with cheaper sensor and G Pro Wireless with cheap switches
It would not take long until people would find a way to crack them and use them without the scamscription
That $30 deal only lasted a whole 30 seconds. He should've pulled up the supreme brick on stockX, Last sale was $175
This is crazy. Next we'll have monthly subscription houses... oh wait...
Logitech Mice are horrible, but I love their grip and the simple Layout.
I had Logitech Mice for the last 10 years+ and they always break before the warranty period is over, but I never returned them because I hate the hassle of sending them back to an online Shop.
So I bought around 10 Mice in 10 years. Some break after 6 Months, and some make it for 1 1/2 year, but it is always the same with their trashy Switches stop registering clicks or registering clicks as double clicks.
I now for the first time switched to 70Mil Click rated Mice from other Brands (yeah, I bought a variety of Mice), but sadly not one is as good for Shooters as the G604 and Models that came before that. And on their new Line-up, they don't even have Mice with 6 Side Keys...
btw: My Logitech Keyboard is perfectly fine even after also being 10 years old and having Coke being splashed over it for multiple times. No complaints there.

5:00 thats knowingly selling a faulty product which is illegal, and it has been ruled that when you buy something it becomes your item and you can do what you want with it, so you aren't obligated to pay a subscription for something you own
Rofl. I have just read an article that stated, consumers are less willingly to buy products if their marketed as "AI products".
Not for long
I remember hearing about BMW wanting to charge a subscription so that you could use the seat warmers in their cars. No idea if this was shut down or implemented.

It happened more than 10 years ago when my HP multifunction printer-scanner combo refused to SCAN because it was programmed that greedy that it tried to blackmail me to buy another overpriced ink cartridge before it would scan my page (for an urgent matter, thank you HP !)
That HP printer was trashed the same day without a second thought. ...and I never bought another HP product in my life. ...and neither did the company where I was a senior IT manager. (even Keysight - once HP, than Agilent - did not get a chance by us in our Testing Lab, we bought Tektronix instead) I am glad to read that HP is on the verge of bankruptcy now.
...are you saying Logitech's management is getting like minded? Do we see a pattern hear? a company that has run out of innovations with a technically incompetent management trying to come up with barbie-level ideas?
when you let your marketing department make decisions for your technology company, youre doomed to fail.
AI button on the mouse? So you take your hands off the keyboard, click a button on the mouse, and move back to the keyboard to type a prompt?
This whole concept is AI generated.
You set whichever button you want for the ai prompt. I have it set as my scroll wheel click. You don't need to move your hands at all. It's pretty useful but no way I'd pay a subscription for it 😅

This is just the subscription heated seats BMW again, except for computer peripherals.
You might be able to sell a heated seat subscription to the uninformed or non-enthusiast; however most people will look at the specifications of a car if they are enthusiasts or even uninformed people will just look at other cars and say "hey, these cars have FREE heated seats!" OR they will just forgo the non-essential (but its a BMW which is a luxury brand, so they probably wouldn't consider the car anyway for its premium mark-up; or a heated blanket to plug in or a bunch of hand warmers).
Sure a mouse can be used on a mobile computer (laptops, mini-pc or any other device) but laptops have an alternative touchpad, tablets are touch interface ...
This means the primary target for a mouse will be a Desktop Computer that needs an external peripheral to use a pointer on a GUI. A good portion of people with a desktop are enthusiast nerds, a niche of a niche, who is this for?
They would add a feature like sticky keys except it would be sticky clicks and if you click 5 times too fast a pop up appears and asks if you want to turn on sticky clicks.
Man I hate the sticky keys popup!

The new stuff with these businesses, are buzz words, “AI” & “Subscription”. From software to soaps, tv, to cars, to even Subscriptions based “rent to live at a place.” Out of hand.
wtf did i just watch ?? where r those days when we could just plug and play the mouse like a normal person
This is the same kinda stuff that happens with new Multi Function Printers from HP that you buy. You cant print unless you sign up to an HP account online and if you run out of ink it will disable the printer and you are unable to use the scan features which don't require ink until you replace the empty cartridge >_
Theyve been pullin the same stuff for a while. I remember in 2008ish my canon all in one had a great svanner, but unless it was capable of printing, it wouldnt scan. Shitty business practise.
Here's my mouse subscription, I buy a Mouse, I use it till it breaks (or I no longer find it good enough anymore), and then I buy a New one its ALREADY a Subscription. Technically anything you buy that's a physical Item that is a consumable is a subscription if you think about it. Toilet paper, Food, Rent is technically a subscription.
Soon were gonna need a monthly subscription to Breathe
They already beat you to it, and they called it a Carbon Tax.
