Logitech Ships One Billion Mice

"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."
Yes, that's billion with a B. Twenty plus years in the peripheral market is mighty impressive, especially with the likes of Microsoft competing with you. My personal favorite Logitech product is the Marble Mouse. How about you?
