In other words, the "forever mouse" was just the CEO riffing on a direction that Logitech absolutely plans on going in, but that specific one wasn't on the planning charts yet.
Language is under siege. Resist.
How does one from Unilever landed a job at a Tech / Consumer Electronic company.
Is that a corporate slang for “how can these suckers pay us more without us giving them anything new?”
I know it's anecdotal, but all of Logitech mouses that I bought have problems quickly, e.g. the clicky switch or the mouse wheel sensor. As if it's made with planned obsolescence.
I can see the case for expensive tech a hypothetical sophisticated maglev gaming keyboard. Or a very high quality expensive streaming camera, in the same league a top-tier brand like Sony or Fujifilm.
IMO, nothing they make right now would fit the bill. It would have to be a new product with expensive tech that makes it superior to anything out there in it's league.
Apple removed ports and physical buttons to favor design over functionality only to bring them back years later.
