What they want to sell:

A mouse with the quality of the mice 20 years ago. And you need to subscribe to software updates. However the subscription is not optional. If you don't pay monthly you can't use the mouse.

What I would actually pay for:

A high quality mouse with an open interface and maybe open source software for it. So I can maintain the software by myself. Usually you can achieve a high quality standard in a few months, and unless there are some driver issues, it should work forever.

I have a "gamer mouse" with a lot of features, custom dpi settings, custom color settings, rebinding keys and so on.

However I used the software once to set it up and on Linux I can't even change it. I will never receive any updates!
