I wasn’t clear but I meant that their build quality has gone down significantly since the 90s when they developed a good reputation and market share. A single click starts to randomly register as a double click over time.
That’s not them bricking it though. Yes it’s shitty build quality, but that is an entirely different issue than them bricking equipment that still is very much functional from a HW perspective.
Right, it’s using a metaphor, drawing a link between the classic definition of bricking and an overall pattern of otherwise selling a product that becomes non useful. Implying that this outcome is fundamental and spans specific vehicles for getting there.
How are they bricking it? Is that something that other Logitech vertical mouse owners need to worry about?

Personally, I see planned obsolescence as the same thing. It’s all to force you to buy new stuff whether you want to or not.

Yeah no you’re just using the wrong words to describe your issue.
Metaphor is based on license. Right and wrong don’t apply. Come back to this discussion when you’ve finished high school freshman English.
Ah, well, if you’ve got an hour and are fairly handy…
Thank you! I’ll check that out.
