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"

Oh god oh no I used my last click now I can’t select a plan

[–] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes you can! Only $0.10 per additional click!

[–] ByteMe@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And how will I click that? Oh, it's automatic! For our convenience!

[–] YoorWeb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

"remind me later" works only if you double click it.

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.

[–] Breadhax0r@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I remember back when Logitech was a brand that was known for quality.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

My current led mouse has been going for 10 years with no signs of slowing down, so take that sub and stuff it

They missed so many opportunities to make it actually a nightmare. Adding these should help...

Standard plan:

  • 2 DPI settings. (50, 32000)

Premium plan:

  • 3 DPI settings! (50, 100, 32000)
  • Ad Free!

Pro-gamer plan ($45/mo)

  • Mouse acceleration toggle
  • 1 customizable DPI settings (more available @ $5/mo each)
  • Middle mouse click functionality unlocked! (Bound to backspace. Customizable binding @ $2/mo)
  • AI tooltips to suggest when/where to click next. ($5/Mo to disable)
  • Cloud backup*

*Requires Internet connection. Mouse falls back to standard plan and settings when not connected. Requires device reboot to re-enable subscription after disconnect.

Edit: formatting

Do not read aloud from a book that summons demons. Not even as a joke.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 136 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is close enough to reality that I'm irritated.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 57 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Close enough? Ma dude, Logitech really wanted to do this shit, but has to backpedal after getting massive flak.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago

I didn't believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake...

It's all fun and games, until it becomes real and people buy it, then all competitors align and it's the new norm.

[–] fox@feddit.org 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Third party clicking cartridge detected. Please purchase a supported cartridge from Logitech, or our partnered retailers.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can navigate with keyboard shortcuts.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, you are out of keyboard clicks.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'll just use my graphics tablet.

[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I'm sorry, you're out of graphics.

☹️ but i cant click to subscribe.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

You can, but it's 10 cents a click!

[–] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just buy a second mouse. C'mon dude, it's like you're not even trying to pay!

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

Nah, I already got the 24,99 family plan that includes 500 premium clicks every month. I just hope they don't follow through with their crackdown on account sharing.

It’s a meme now. Give it a few years and it’ll be more than a meme.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

One man's meme is another monster's inspiration

It's a good thing that market is so saturated that there'd always be a cheap uncomplicated mouse with all your features, unless you're some sort of MMO mouse person.

That said, a company can probably still sell this to the government with enough lobbying. Those chumps love wasting cash on subscriptions they don't need (looking at you, Adobe Cloud).

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's why they'll make it so Windows requires your mouse to have official Microsoft drivers for compatibility.

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.

[–] Mesophar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

That honestly sounds like a bad deal. Before recently replacing it, I had a $35 dollar mouse that lasted through 12 years of heavy gaming. Either you are inhumanly rough on your mice, or you might want to spend a little bit more for something quality.

[–] acidrobot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I see you're getting a subpar keyboard rate

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Vim users: *entirely unaffected*

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They won't even see the ad because they can't get out of Vim.

idk I've been thinking about getting the standard plan. 10k clicks isn't much, but If i quit Leauge, then I think i can get by. And I can't stand the ad supported basic tier anymore. I can't take one more ad for that crypto exchange

This is why you do what I do and use a trackball.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

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.
