Logitech plans to release wireless mice with user-replaceable batteries only in Europe ahead of a 2027 EU regulation, while other regions will receive non-upgradable versions. This mirrors Nintendo's recent Switch 2 battery policy, drawing criticism for creating regional product disparities.
Background
The EU is mandating user-replaceable batteries in electronic devices by February 2027 to reduce e-waste and improve repairability. Logitech's selective rollout suggests compliance strategies may vary by region despite global regulations.
