    Thanks for the link, I did not know about this outfit (and jeez, I know naming stuff is hard, but “Ploopy” is kinda bad as a company name).

    While I appreciate what they’re trying to do, the aesthetics are very much “hackerspace afficionado”. Logi could presumably bring premium materials and finishing to a “forever mouse”.

      (and jeez, I know naming stuff is hard, but “Ploopy” is kinda bad as a company name).

      Naming themselves after something which implies immortality would’ve been my pick - something like “Theseus”, to suggest a Ship-of-Theseus kind of immortality, I dunno.
