This is not about you, but about them. It's not that you need a subscription. It's that they need you to have a subscription.
But they need to convince me that the subscription is worthwhile!
They'll remove any mice from the market that doesn't have a subscription model and others will follow suit.
Future mouse DLC: "Special promotion! $5 discount on unlocking right mouse button!"
Good luck with removing aliexpress mice from the market
Damn, I never thought to look there! Thanks!
I doubt the open source options will be adopting this strategy either.
I have a ploopy trackball and love it.
How does it compare to the m570?
I use a left handed one, so I can't really comment on most ergonomic computer accessories.
If they only had a thumb trackball...
Like this?
Dang phone, not sure hire I missed it. Thanks! Although oof on the price... Another poster mentioned elecom, they have a quite the variety of thumb trackballs, think I'll buy few of those for the price of one ploopy: https://elecomusa.com/collections/trackball
True, they are expensive. But it's one of the very few left-handed, ergonomic mice/trackballs I've ever found.
If you are going to ask questions maybe you are not the target demographic.
Damned straight! I'll stick with my boring old non-ai grandpa mouse.
Back in my day the mice had a tail, no scroll wheel, and only 2 buttons!
When I were a lad, we used vi.
We used trackballs and loved them. We greased the mechanism with our forehead sweat as was the fashion at the time.
Back in my day, mice had balls.
Not if they and their competitors remove all the other options.
Nah. There will always be companies just selling a mouse.
You wouldn't print a mouse.
