Logitech will ship a version of its wireless mice with user‑replaceable batteries only in Europe, complying with a regulation that takes effect in February 2027. The company will offer a distinct model for the European market that uses a hard‑pack lithium battery and will provide certified replacement batteries, while continuing to sell a non‑replaceable version elsewhere. Logitech says the hard‑pack design reduces fire risk and aligns with safety requirements, but estimates that few consumers will replace the batteries, as most replace the entire mouse after several years. The firm plans to evaluate additional spare parts for wear‑and‑tear components and may expand repairable designs beyond Europe, though no specific timeline has been announced.
