It is obvious that they started with "Mouse with subscription fees", and worked backward from there. They haven't actually come up with a product that anyone wants, they just invented the product that they want to sell (and make passive income off of). This is one of the most ridiculous cash-grab ideas I have ever seen. There is no reason for a mouse to need a software update. This is a completely made-up narrative. All functions of the mouse should be accounted for without the need for follow-up; a company like Logitech should already have an excellent framework for mouse firmware that is free from bugs or inefficiencies that would require updating. And this comparison to a mouse as an analog to a "super expensive watch" is completely misguided. They're just coming up with an excuse to make a "super expensive mouse". Generally speaking though, most people who take computer peripherals seriously don't very much care about the mouse, and focus instead of on having a fancy and expensive mechanical keyboard. And there is no glory in buying some corporate "forever keyboard" with paid updates, your peers will ridicule you for not building your own from PCBs you ordered online and 3d printed casing. After all, the bigger a power-user you are, the less likely you are to even touch the mouse. This is dumb idea dreamed up by stupid people in a boardroom, where the topic of the meeting was "Money: how to make it".
