So what it seems everybody is reading is that Logitech believes they can create a computer mouse that will last decades without breaking in any way at reasonable price, but they don't wanna because they would jeopardize their sales of their lesser mice, and they actually want to figure out a recurring revenue model to go with it.
How about this: you make a "forever mouse", sell it at a profit, and people simply keep buying it because it's so fricking great? They also buy one for their workplace (or get the company to buy it) since it's not the lightest mouse around, they might also buy it as a gift and... You get the point, just this thing might bring them enough revenue _if_ this is really such a good product that they would capture more of the market share even if their product is very durable.
