  But also, if you want that, loads of mice have a bunch of buttons you can assign to pretty much anything you want.

    And none of them require a damned subscription.

      I don’t imagine someone will actually pay monthly for a mouse

        You underestimate people.

    Or a keyboard shortcut.

    My keyboard cost £10 with a mouse. The keyboard has 104 keys and I would expect it to last at least 5 years. That’s £0.02 per key per year. To be competitive, a subscription model for an AI button needs to be less than £0.00333 per month.

    Really? Anything??? Can I assign it to bring me self esteme to see myself as worthy of finding happyness? Or will I just remain the same piece of garbage I was before I bought this stupid mouse?

    Ya know what? I’m just gonna sleep in the dumpster again. Hopefully this time the garbage men don’t notice me, and compact it down.

      If you can automate your happiness with an .ahk script, I don’t see why not!

      I mean probably not worth the risk of messing it up, but you could have an automated IV dispense SSRIs or MDMA and then assign that to a mouse button.

      There’s definitely a less Rube Goldberg way of achieving the same outcome without a mouse at all though

        …I don’t know what SSRIs and MDMA is?

  The most annoying thing was them adding that bullshit to my current mouse’s software without warning.

  Logi AI prompt crap I don’t need or want, that I can’t disable, keeps starting up if I kill the process, eating 5-10% of my CPU cycles.

  Thankfully there was enough backlash to knock that on the head and they now let you disable it but they seriously got caught up with their own hype there.

  I have a regular old non-AI Logitech mouse and keyboard, and I’m already enjoying the benefits of. Logitech AI:

    They should rewrite it in Rust.

      I like Rust, but let’s not encourage them.

      In this case I think the terrible code really, as they say in fashion, completes the look
