Don’t throw out that broken computer mouse, fix it instead

iFixit will soon offer repair kits for Logitech mice. — AFP Relaxnews

In the same way that it’s possible to order repair kits for smartphones, computers, games consoles or even smart vacuum cleaners, it will soon be possible to replace the parts of a computer mouse yourself.

This will be possible thanks to a collaboration between hardware manufacturer Logitech and the famous online repair platform iFixit. The aim is obviously to avoid having to buy a new mouse due to the slightest technical problem, and consequently to ensure the durability of the product by prolonging its use and, consequently, reducing the CO2 emissions linked to the consumption of new products. The objective is also to drastically reduce the amount of electronic waste generated each year in the world.
