During a recent episode of The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber shed some possible insight into the company’s view on one of its most important products. Saying that “the mouse built this house,” Faber shares the planning behind a Forever Mouse, a premium product that the company hopes will be the last you ever have to buy. There’s also a discussion about a subscription-based service and a deeper focus on AI.
For now, details on a Forever Mouse are thin, but you better believe there will be a catch. The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.
Yeah, I bought two expensive Logitech mice and my impression was they got WAY too much cash from me for it. Their reaction? Nope not remotely enough. Need a guaranteed stream from all customers.
I think I’ve bought my last Logitech product. I also have one of their keyboards and one of their webcams. In all cases they are semi okay products and the only reason I bought them is how bad some the other options I found out there are. Not that I looked at their lines and said “oh these seem great.” They were always a last resort.
