During a recent episode of The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber shed some possible insight into the company’s view on one of its most important products. Saying that “the mouse built this house,” Faber shares the planning behind a Forever Mouse, a premium product that the company hopes will be the last you ever have to buy. There’s also a discussion about a subscription-based service and a deeper focus on AI.

For now, details on a Forever Mouse are thin, but you better believe there will be a catch. The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.

    This is likely due to a compatibility issue with your usb port causing lower than necessary amperage to be provided to the usb dongle so it’s not able to fully power it’s antenna. Quite common with the laptops I work with at work, except it only happens to the side with a daughter board and non standard controller so the fix is just having people plug it into a port on the other side. That all being said, it’s almost certainly not the kb/mouse as even the weakest 2.4ghz dongles can go for 5-10 feet without any degradation of signal.

      Thanks for the input. I will try plugging it into other ports, or maybe a powered hub and see what kind of distance I get with that. Didn’t even think of it being a power issue.
