A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Most of those changes to mice make very little difference to regular users. And the low-priced mice most people use aren't so different from the old ones. Wireless is a mixed blessing because it comes with having to recharge a battery which is often not replaceable. Polling rate and DPI is only of interest to niche users. Most people probably never tilt the wheel. So for many an old wired mouse will still do fine.
Anyway, Logitech's "forever mouse", if it's really forever, doesn't really fit with the idea that mouse technology evolves enough that you need to replace the mouse every few years. That said, it's probably the subscription that's forever, not the mouse.
In watches, smart watches are new and still developing, and some of them already have "premium" subscription services.
