How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse - Lemmy.World

I have been using Logitech peripherals for years. Logitech gear always just worked. Now they demand internet accounts to use the features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased. WTF? Not only that, have to use wide-open-to-snooping Chrome to adjust the settings. You cannot adjust/use your mouse and keyboard if you just use Firefox. This only makes sense if they are planning (or are already) tracking my every move online to sell to advertisers or spooks. What are the good options? Also, if anybody sees how these changes could be benign, please let me know.

This was posted on Lemmy a month or so back so i’m betting these are baby steps in that direction.
Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

Exec says mouse that requires a regular fee for software updates is possible.

Ars Technica
Sounds about right. If he did forego the subscription revenue, that does not mean he won’t try to monitize our useage data.
