"a forever mouse" So like a normal computer mouse? I'm fairly certain if I can connect a mouse from 1995 to my pc it would work normally.

[@Kunuts]

literally all you need is an adapter and you will never need a new mouse

[@Shlappz]

I actually do use a mouse from 1998. It has 2 side buttons like a modern mouse and a rubber scroll nub (not wheel). The ball adds weight and tactile feedback that makes it weirdly satisfying to use, and stops you from lifting the mouse off the desk. Only con is the low DPI requiring you to crank up the sensitivity to compensate. Also you need a PS/2 port on your PC or an adapter. TBH a modern gaming mouse is probably just as good, but I love old school tech, especially weird experimental stuff.

[@smiller9706]

I honestly want to dust off my old roller ball but the adapters are so jank with how fast I can roll that sucker around in games. I had a desk ornament version we called big boy and it was the device that got me install kicked in cod/battlefeild and a few other fps online campaigns. Reason I dumped big boy and got a clicky mouse. Honestly you can use a Japanese gatshapon mouse toy from 2001 as a mouse. I used a FMA one for years. It's a mouse. Just plug it in and it will run. Forever mouse is the OG ball inside the hardware mouse. Like it still works! Same with trackers and lasers. Just plug it in!

There are three types of people buying mice. 1. People who just need a mouse. They almost universally buy the cheapest or second cheapest mouse available. (Usually logi) 2. The gamer/power user. They tend to buy the more expensive mice, often targeting a specific shape or number of programmable keys. 3. The specialist/marathon user. These users are being extremely active in their use of a mouse and often for a long period. As such they often choose a less traditional mouse, specifically they usually select an ergonomic mouse or one of the old style trackball mice. None of these need an expensive mouse with an ai chat bot hotkey.

Titan, previously called Cyclops 2, was a submersible created and operated by underwater exploration company OceanGate. It was the first privately-owned submersible with a claimed maximum depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft),[2] and the first completed crewed submersible with a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials.[3] After testing with dives to its maximum intended depth in 2018 and 2019, the original composite hull of Titan developed fatigue damage and was replaced by 2021.[4][5] In that year, OceanGate began transporting paying customers to the wreck of the Titanic,[6][7] completing several dives to the wreck site in 2021 and 2022. During the submersible's first 2023 expedition, all five occupants were killed when the vessel imploded. OceanGate lost contact with Titan on 18 June and contacted authorities later that day after the submersible was overdue for return. A massive international search and rescue operation ensued and ended on 22 June, when debris from Titan was discovered about 1,600 feet (500 metres) from the bow of the Titanic.

Companies are literally so stupid nowadays

[@gramfero]

they're smart actually instead of making people pay once, they're making people pay monthly

[@Zackhit]

​@@gramfero people won't pay monthly subscription if they never bought the subscription

[@gramfero]

@@Zackhit people pay for netflix and amazon prime

[@PosterityIslesNews]

@@gramfero it's a smart idea when you have a monopoly and people have no choice but to pay your subscription fee. not when theres literally hundreds of firms that offer the same product as you do for a more reasonable price. putting a subscription payment on a fucking mouse just makes you incredibly uncompetitive

Aw yeahhh, I love spending money on a mouse eternally

[@Mikepet]

I have a Theory since a while. I think, and i see it in a lot of Companys. If the Company is old enough it just drives against the wall. It is different on the Industry. In Tech this happens sooner than for example in production and stuff like that. If the Company is to old, the corrupt Company leaders who have no Idea what they are doing come in, or maybe the 2 or 3 generation of the dude who founded the Company comes (who has no idea what they are doing and just studyed some Vocational economics or shit like that) and the Company doesnt go forward but backward. Maybe the company goes to the Stock market and now has to produce numbers and doesnt focus on their core business. As said it takes longer (the Company gets older) with production type companys because you have to mess up REALLY REALLY bad in that industry but in Tech everything happens incredibly fast. Basically if the Company is old enough the person who founded it doesnt stand behind it anymore and people who have no idea run it into the ground.

[@d1kgaws12]

These companies are becoming so psychopathic, they lost their cognitive empathy and are forgetting that consumers will not support you if you give them the middle finger so much for naive assumptions of profits.

they are ass but i like their software

[@comehere2806]

Nah, you have to put credit where it's due, Logitech usually makes high-quality stuff with niche features. I don't usually like meatriding multinational dollar companies, but as an owner of a few Logitech peripherals, I must say I'm satisfied. Still, I won't buy from Logitech anymore if they continue their new BS policies.

[@Kowalski_is-bayernlogo]

They make decent products, I've been using a 10$ mouse for 6 years using it for gaming.

[@Stardevoir]

​@@lebronjames-eb4pei hate their software, I've had so many times where the software crashes and refuses to open until I manually restart it with task manager

Honestly, I won't be surprised if there was a secret competition between companies to see which one would go bankrupt first.

[@justaguy3403]

It's essentially attempting to make things that are already good, better. For example making a fork slows you down if you eat too fast to prevent you from getting fat(this is a real product). Mouse is already perfect as it is, you can't make it even better by adding AI or by adding an LED screen that will tell you how many clicks your mouse had ever made or how far it had travelled

[@Viper-yv8tw]

No, there is always room for improvement. But this is simply not it. She just said some random bullshit to please the investors. If they actually surveyed the ones who use the mouse and concluded that this and that needed improvement, or that something can be done better, than they would actually make a big step forward...

Companies went from making good products to just slapping a bunch of buzzwords on to your product and charging a subscription fee for it, which for your information, is not a very profitable business strategy (*Cough cough* Game Pass). It’s like these companies don’t like money any more
