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.

    Logitech has become so cheaply made, the idea of them making anything “forever” is very laughable.

      That’s the whole point of a subscription based service - you pay a fixed fee every month and they ensure you have a working mouse. If it dies, they send you a new one, or perhaps they give you two so that you still have one working mouse while waiting for the replacement.
