Weird, because I'm pretty sure all other mice can be used forever, as long as they don't break.
I'm pretty sure the 'forever' part refers to the payment model.
Then I will "forever" not buy anything from them
Allow me to translate the business language to understandable terms....we (Logitech) will sell customers (us) a hook. When they bite, they bite forever. They will pay us (Logitech) to use their own hardware! What a bunch of idiots!
Additionally I would like to propose that we don't sign up for apple or other fruit rentals or delivery subscriptions. If you want a banana, go to the market and get one. Then eat the banana. It should cost only a few cents since you basically consume the thing. Now, if you want a mouse, go to Amazon and buy one from there that is not Logitech. Then just hook it up to the computer and use it! That's it! In fact, if you don't return it, your compromise with the seller ends when they deliver it to your door. Both you and the seller walk away happy. There's no fucking subscription to a mouse! WTF! That's a company with two legs just about done shooting one off.

Well switches for their MX Master series break all the damn time.
I hate that I keep buying them, but they really are a perfect mouse other than the fatal flaw that pops up about 19 seconds after the warranty expires...
Yeach unfortunetly purerly from ergonomical point of view those mf truly make the best mouses at every price point . Cheap 10 dolars mouse and keyboard, still the best ergonomics for this price. Lift , ergonomical mastery ,pure joy to use. Unfortunetly switch broke after a year and a half and since it was company provided mouse from the time when they went on a shopping spree for office equipment they dont have then anymore ( i literaly took the last one ). Now the only replacment i got is the cheap mouse and keyboard also from Logitech that on the other hand refuses to break and i want a goddam excuse to buy myself something better.
I'm at the point where I'm maintaining three classic thumbball mice with a bag of replacement microswitches. I wouldn't consider that viable for the typical consumer, but it works for me. Also these particular bluetooth models come with their own USB-A receiver, so I don't rely on software updates either.
That said, the ploopy thumbball may be my next daily driver.
