muesliLogitech rubber coating: 2-year lifespan.
Me: Fine, I'll do it myself!
3D-printed a new shell in soft black TPU (on gray-ish PLA supports) and it fits like a glove. Honestly feels better than the original!
DIY > decay.
...and how cool would it be for Logitech to sell your differently colored and sized rubber shells for your mouse?! Purple? Softer? Bigger?
If they could still sell you a brand-new mouse every two years, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
masukomi@fribbledom i feel like maybe there’s a ploopy mouse in your future https://ploopy.co
They don’t sell replacement shells but i think there’s a model for the shell that you can 3D print one of any color or have a service do it.
Nils@masukomi Hardware and software is completly opensource, but the warranty is voided when you alter the hardware, software or firmware including flashing the firmware. Exactly my kind of humour. @fribbledom
@PraetorCreech @fribbledom i mean. That’s kinda reasonable. If I were in their shoes, I would not want to have to pay to clean up after someone did something stupid that wasn’t what I designed a thing for.
especially since this isn’t a large company that can afford to not think about how many items they have to send out because someone ran into an issue from their own stupidity/mistake .
@PraetorCreech @fribbledom Open Hardware just means "we'll give you the info on how everything works, and allow you to build on those ideas as you see fit".
That's completely separate from selling hardware. Subaru isn't going to pay to fix my engine if i try running it on pure NO2.
I STILL wouldn't expect them to pay for it if they offered detailed construction plans and a license to sell new ones I build on their ideas.
