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.

    Insanity. I spend $5.00 or so on $eCommerceSite and am perfectly happy with the result.

    I make that expenditure maybe every four or five years. I don’t need a ‘forever mouse,’ they already last practically that long.

      I used to always say I want the cheapest mouse I can find. That was about $20 the last time I bought one like that, many years ago.
