A mouse with the quality of the mice 20 years ago. And you need to subscribe to software updates. However the subscription is not optional. If you don’t pay monthly you can’t use the mouse.
What I would actually pay for:
A high quality mouse with an open interface and maybe open source software for it. So I can maintain the software by myself. Usually you can achieve a high quality standard in a few months, and unless there are some driver issues, it should work forever.
I have a “gamer mouse” with a lot of features, custom dpi settings, custom color settings, rebinding keys and so on.
However I used the software once to set it up and on Linux I can’t even change it. I will never receive any updates!

Quality of the mouse of 20 years ago? Are were going to need the cook the eggs extra long to replace the mouse balls again?
We’d already switched to optical mice in 2004.
Which was only 10 years ago.
You might want to check that again.

What I’m wondering is: who the hell is upvoting that?
Me, for one.
And feel old? No thanks!
What sane people will buy: hey this one’s good enough, plus it’s on sale for $10!
Nah, wouldn’t want to miss the accelerated scroll of the MX Master. Why is this not standard yet, software-side like pointer acceleration?
Ratbagd / Piper doesn’t work for your mouse?
Never tried it. I didn’t knew that existed
Works for my Logi mouse, was very happy when I found the package (thanks nixpkgs search)
