1 Billion Mouse Sold By Logitech

Rich Gates December 15, 2008 USB News

Logitech is probably the first name most people think of for input devices like keyboards, mice and hubs…and why not, they’ve been around since 1985…prettyÂ much from the start for mainstream computers.

Logitech posted some interesting information about selling their one billionth mouse after being in the market for 20+ years. The first mouse from the Switzerland-based Logitech was the P4 (pictured above), which began mass production in 1985 at the company’s birthplace. Logitech reached the 100 millionth mouse mark in 1996, and subsequently, topped 500 millionth 7 years later. The company is now selling at a rate of 376,000 mice per day and 7.8 million every month. It’s hard to imagine the computer world has that large of consumption for a single device, like the mouse.Â But think about it; how would you compute without a mouse.Â Try it for 10 minutes.Â You’ll go nuts.
