Logitech CEO lays out the potential future of the mouse and keyboard. Logitech is working on a forever mouse that has a subscription-based model.

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.

    The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

      My entire house is LEDs. I was a pretty early adopter and I still have the OG Phillips bulbs floating around my house.

      In 10 years I’ve only had one bulb crap out. With incandescent bulbs there were always several a year that needed to be swapped. Back in the day I used to have a box of extra bulbs in my closet. I no longer keep that box because it’s just taking up space for something that is almost never touched.

      Most articles confirm my experience and show that LEDs have muuuuch longer lifespans.
