  How? Is the mouse reliant on their servers to operate?

  How are they bricking it? Is that something that other Logitech vertical mouse owners need to worry about?

      That’s not them bricking it though. Yes it’s shitty build quality, but that is an entirely different issue than them bricking equipment that still is very much functional from a HW perspective.

        Personally, I see planned obsolescence as the same thing. It’s all to force you to buy new stuff whether you want to or not.
