I don't want an AI button on my mouse, I want the frictionless free scrolling mouse wheel they used to have on a lot of their mice. You could easily zoom through large documents or effortlessly scroll through long webpages.
And better build quality because their recent mice have had shit QC.
I want that scroll wheel on a new revision of the g600 mouse
This button is preprogrammed to launch the ChatGPT prompt builder, which Logitech recently added to its peripherals configuration app Options+
Speaking of which, I'd like to take a moment to tell Logitech to go F themselves for bringing this stupid AI prompt builder to Options+. It's unnecessary bloat and nobody wants it.
From the Ars article it references:
I was disappointed to learn that the most distinct feature of the Logitech Signature AI Edition M750 is a button located south of the scroll wheel. This button is preprogrammed to launch the ChatGPT prompt builder, which Logitech recently added to its peripherals configuration app Options+.
That's pretty much it. Just a shortcut to an AI tool, so being mappable is a huge positive so people can actually use the button.
Definitely a gimmick.
But I remember there being a mouse/gamepad that really did us AI to fine tune aim in first person shooters. I think Ars did an article on those too. Not sure if it was commercially available or just someone filing a patent tho.
"AI" is to the 2020's what "Cyber" was to the early 2000's; something marketing will slap onto any product in an attempt to make it seem more high tech
