    It really feels like they developed a revenue stream prior to developing a product. All we’ve heard is some “Ai features” would be a subscription service, but their software has been preety universally mid at best, and AI is starting to see some backlash. We are seeing companies try to cram AI into everything even when it has no purpose being there. I get the feeling that companies are starting to catch onto this AI investments have become ridiculously expensive and have provided nearly zero additional value to their products and services.

      That’s what everyone big and well bribed in with regulators and such does today.

      This is obviously true.

      Not that a commercial company shouldn’t do that.

      It’s just - what exactly are they going to sell? What need are they going to fulfill, what bottleneck are they going to widen, what river cross with a bridge? For customers, of course.

      As a Linux user, I don’t even know what features their software has, nor do I particularly care. If it points and clicks, I’m happy.

      What I want from Logitech is to make mice that point and click more reliably, and ideally make them repairable. I hate throwing out mice just because of a double-click issue when I could just replace a sensor or something.

      Here’s my proposal:

      1. make a handful of base models with varying core features (wireless, low-latency, lots of inputs)
      2. sell parts like shells, sensors, PCBs, etc that customers can replace on their own - no need to replace a mouse because you don’t like the feel, just get a new chassis
      3. there is no step 3
