Logitech Clarifies on Subscription-Based 'Permanent Mouse' Concept

TapTechNews August 2nd, Logitech sent a clarification email to the Australian media TweakTown on the topic of subscription-based 'permanent mouse' on the 2nd of this month local time.

The email stated:

We have no plans to launch a subscription-based mouse. The 'permanent mouse' is not an actual or planned product, but rather an inspirational thinking within the company about the possibility of more sustainable consumer electronics in the future.

TapTechNews here sorts out the previous context:

Logitech's new CEO Hanneke Faber mentioned in an interview with the foreign media TheVerge on July 28th local time that an employee at Logitech's Irish Innovation Center showed her the concept product of the 'permanent mouse' not long ago.

The product aims to combine excellent hardware with continuously updated software to extend the lifespan of the hardware.

And on how to find a sustainable business model for the software updates of the 'permanent mouse', Faber seemed to have agreed with the possible paid subscription system proposed by the foreign media, and believed that the business model of software updates would be similar to the video conferencing service currently provided by Logitech.
