If it's a premium device and the monthly/yearly is like 5$/60$, so after two years, it makes 120$, after four years 240$.

My mouse is a Logitech wireless. Small, light, good fit for my hand, worked on every surface I ever moused on, one AA-battery lasts for >2 years in my use case (I fed it a rechargeable with 2400mA, will last for centuries).

I payed for it 40$ or so. It came with a keyboard, wireless, one AA-battery. More I don't know, never used it actually.

So, yes! I won't buy.

It's not a subscription - it's rent.

I will not participate in this dystopian world of never actually owning anything. It's how the Oligarchs intend to guard and keep their wealth.

Logitech can go eat cheese.

> it had great software and services that you’d constantly update

Since when is having to update constantly a selling point? Software updates are a pain in the ass.
