General Director of Logitech Hannecke I recently shared information about the new project of the company, under the code name Forever Mouse (“Eternal Mouse”). In an interview with Theverge, she talked about the prototype of the device that can change our idea of computer accessories.
“Forever Mouse” is a premium computer mouse, which is enough for the user to buy only once. The main feature of the device is its ability to receive new functions through software updates. This means that the owners do not have to buy a new model to use improved opportunities.
Faber did not reveal all the secrets, but hinted at some features of the future product. Firstly, the device will probably be associated with a subscription to certain services. Secondly, the price of Forever Mouse can be quite high – in an interview, an amount of $ 200 sounded, although Faber did not confirm and did not refute this figure.
As Faber emphasized, the developers are now focusing on increasing user productivity. The device will provide quick access to language models and other useful functions. She also mentioned that she recently met a person who programmed 120 different key combinations on his mice.
Another advantage of “Forever Mouse” will be its durability. The device will differ in a strong design resistant to damage and falls. Thanks to regular software updates, the mouse will always meet modern requirements. If the owner decides to part with the device, he will be able to sell it, for example, to the Best Buy store, where he will be repaired and resell.
In addition to everything, the Forever Mouse project will help Logitech achieve its environmental goals. The durability of the device and the possibility of its reuse will reduce the amount of electronic waste.
