Business idea: The mouse manufacturers play the middle man in the click economy. Users can add an extra “click safety” package for $3,99/month, which prevents them from clicking on ads/misleading content. “Good” and “ethical” advertisers can get in touch with the “business communication” office of the mouse manufacturers to buy exception deals, because “their ads are okay”
I’ve managed to pay under $20 for all I can click mice. They last more than a year typically. Even with tariffs, I’m getting a chinese mouse, and y’all can f the f off.
Living in 2024, I’m not even sure if this is a joke or not. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a subscription for damn oxygen soon. Oh, wait, that’s taxes!
It’s only partially a joke. I can’t remember who but some company was bragging about their subscription based mouse they had in the works.
Is scrolling extra?
Oh god oh no I used my last click now I can’t select a plan
Yes you can! Only $0.10 per additional click!
And how will I click that? Oh, it’s automatic! For our convenience!
I can navigate with keyboard shortcuts.
I’m sorry, you are out of keyboard clicks.
I’ll just use my graphics tablet.
I’m sorry, you’re out of graphics.
Connect with rdp with my laptop with a touchscreen
You’re out of RDPs
I can cry.
Subscribe to tears monthly for more tears you’ve reached your tears limit for this month.
You know what, I’d be all behind a subscription mouse so long as it includes periodic hardware upgrades and unlimited warranty replacements no questions asked so long as the subscription is paid.
Admittedly, I’d be trying to figure out the most interesting ways to actively destroy mice to make them rue the day they thought a mouse subscription was a good idea, but that’s beside the point. Why no, I can’t return the damaged mouse, it’s at the bottom of a hole in the woods no human has been down since the civil war. Just like it was none of your business how I found out that the mouse isn’t resistant to hydrofluoric acid.
Well, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. I have a Trackman from 2004 that’s still plugging along, no subscription software updates required. If your stuff isn’t shit, it lasts forever anyways.
My current led mouse has been going for 10 years with no signs of slowing down, so take that sub and stuff it
It’s all fun and games, until it becomes real and people buy it, then all competitors align and it’s the new norm.
your red pixel clicking cartridge has run out. you wont be able to click on any other pixels until you refill your red pixel clicking cartridge.
Third party clicking cartridge detected. Please purchase a supported cartridge from Logitech, or our partnered retailers.
This is why you do what I do and use a trackball.
I’ve had mine since 2004. I’ve replaced the cord 3 times, and designed a 3D printed replacement scroll wheel for it. It’s still going strong.
That’s some dedication. Respect
Thanks. The T-BB18 is definitely bigger than the modern m575. And even though I don’t have huge hands, it is still more comfortable to me. I made an ergonomic stand for it, too. Totally copied the concept from one somebody did for the m570, but it had to be bigger and have completely different mounting.
Do not read aloud from a book that summons demons. Not even as a joke.
☹️ but i cant click to subscribe.
You can only click after watching
3511 ads.You can, but it’s 10 cents a click!
Just buy a second mouse. C’mon dude, it’s like you’re not even trying to pay!
puts dollar near CD drive
it actually takes it
Holy shit.
I have a CD drive!
Data pack work like that, the page to order the data pack doesn’t cost anything to reach.
I would assume that the app would have click working
This is close enough to reality that I’m irritated.
It’s reminding me of the 3rd party utility apps on the Apple Store.
They seem to have ditched “limited features for free” in favour of “nothing at all until you subscribe, first 7 days free”
Close enough? Ma dude, Logitech really wanted to do this shit, but has to backpedal after getting massive flak.
Quickest way to make me DIY my own mouse.
I didn’t believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake…
We need to reverse engineer this software so it can be used.
They missed so many opportunities to make it actually a nightmare. Adding these should help…

This hurts to read.
And it will anti cheat a little on the cheap tier when you play games.
How long could a mouse take to reboot, Michael? An hour?
