A billion of anything is a lot, and the billionth computer mouse has rolled off the production line at Logitech, as the device itself celebrates its 40th birthday next week.
Logitech’s general manager Rory Dooley told the BBC:
"It’s rare in human history that a billionth of anything has been shipped by one company. Look at any other industry and it has never happened. This is a significant milestone."
The company has begun a competition to find that billionth mouse, with clues as to where it is posted on the company blog, and $1000 in Logitech products going to the winner.
