> Do you have multiple profiles? Do you have multiple profiles with a lot of different settings? If you want to store it all offline, then you'll need more expensive memory, and have to pay more for your mouse. Use the new cloud based Synapse and you don't have to store all your profiles on the mouse. Store it on the cloud, then sync it to your mouse when you want to use that profile.

Just put a $notmany flash drive there for those settings; it shouldn't really change the price, and it would give benefits like:

- mouse can work to it's full potential without Internet access

- orthogonality of computer systems is retained (why on Earth should a mouse depend on being able to talk to someone's server)?

- no tracking

- can't remotely brick my mouse to encourage me to buy a new one
