I used to play with Microsoft sidewinder, but the wheels always got loose.
Now I use logitech 502 hero, but the right button also becomes non responsive.
I bought 2 to 3 of those mice with exactly the same issue.

Can /k recommend a durable one?

planned obsolescence la

why fucking buy 2-3 more new rm100-200 mice if you could just buy the switches and replace / repair on your own for rm10 from taobao etc

My MX518 still working good dunno how many years already.

this, just buy the switch and replace yourself

i use deathadder chroma for many years already, whenever double clicking happens every few months or half year, open up the mouse, open up the switch plastic casing, use alcohol swabs to clean the copper switch contacts, works fine everytime.

SteelSeries Rival 100. Use as my office mouse

My 502 before hero version still going strong. About 3 to 4 years using liao.

302 already swapped with kailh switch after 2 years usage. Guess Logitech doesn't last long?

Used 3 Razer Death Adders over 10+ years and had to deal with all the double clicking issues and fixes.

Currently using a Logitech G102 for 2 years and no issues.

what gaming mouse doesn't have scrolling and double click issue?

I don't think any mouse will "last forever" in the sense you are hoping for. I just opened my Logitech gaming mouse today to service the side button. The left click button was already serviced many months ago. In my opinion, the mouse may physically last forever, but then the internal parts need to be serviced too. Luckily the microswitches for my mouse are cheap and readily available.

I believe the choices would be to buy a cheap mouse and throw it away when it gives problems, or buy a better one and do the necessary servicing (like clean the microswitch contact, or change the microswitch entirely) when it gives problems. Because they all will give problems, it's just a matter of when.

Logitech mx518 is very durable but too big for me. Razer Deathadder is the most comfortable for me. Now got cheap Deathadder Essential rather than Deathadder Chroma.

Just buy any cheapo Logitech mouse. That one can tahan for 10 years without issues.

Logitech MX510, MX518.

These lasts forever the buttons and scroll.

i just stock up on multiple RM15 logitech mouse

spoil?...use the new one

my mx518 from 2006 or 2007 still working until now only the surface faded

but no mouse guarantee working forever, now using glorious model o wired and wireless so far its ok especially the wired one that have no issue use for 1 year or near 2 years

my g304 already got double click issue after 3 years

user issue?
I got 2 502 proteus core (earlier version), since 2015 and 2016, both still working fine, just replaced with new shell recently

Buy a dozen of cheap Rm10 mouse. Got any problem, just throw away.

Mouse suddenly lost connection issues how to solve? G102

these days I just get cheap gaming mouse, can press whatever the fark I want

after it give me issue, throw and get cheaper one...

Are you sure it is not your USB port? If it isn't, your mouse wire might be broken inside due to too much flexing. You could try to change the wire, or shorten the wire past the area where it is broken (normally the breaks happen near the mouse, as that is where it moves the most)

i find it's not the millions of repetitive clicks that breaks the switches

yor maus could lasts for years if it's just that, normal clicks

but it's when you hold the buttons for prolonged and repetitive period, pretty much abusing it

like some shooters with hold to aim etc mechanics

microswitches, the copper spring inside those switches nowadays are very very flimsy, easily lose their springiness coz it's too thin

they could handle millions of repetitive clicks but not when you hold them with such pressure that would bend or even break those copper springs inside

it's so annoying that nowadays ayam already accustomed to change the configs in games from hold to toggle

The issue will almost certainly go away if you clean the microswitch contacts, or if you change the microswitch entirely.

my razer abyssus..buy 2011..still using it.ayam razerfag

found the best pixart for rm90 and 3360 rm80

can buy the microswitches n replace if got sharp tip soldering iron

Still using my G300 bought from 11 years ago... The shape just perfect for my hand.
The key survival feature of this mouse is the optical scroll wheel sensor, not mechanical wheel.
The wheel sensor is virtually immortal, even if clogged with dusts.
Nowadays buying any mouse I will search for tear down picture showing what scrollwheel mechanism it uses first.

Clicks will inevitably broke. There are no switch that is immortal, especially if you play some insanely clicky games.
But replacing them is very easy, just simple soldering works.
Search for 'mouse switch' on Shopee and you will get plenty of them. On average I probably changed switch every year, or 2 years.
Solder tool + solder 'sucker' to remove existing solder easily + mouse switches

Need to open the mouse, and then open the microswitch. There are many YT videos on how to do this, but I haven't linked any because I don't agree with them. They use sandpaper, metal polish, brushes, etc, to clean the contacts but I absolutely don't agree with it. I only use contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, with normal paper as the most abrasive thing to clean the contacts.

quote unquote

i can only teach you, you need to melt solder onto the three feet of the micro switch, wait a bit, then only desolder and use sucker or felt.

reason is because its machine soldered, old and porous hence very very hard to desolder without ripping out the board contacts.

Logitech G403 (wired)

My G602 is 5 years old and still works perfectly.

cheapo logitech b100 still going strong

Kailh switch

My 1st Razer mouse last me roughly 10 years until last years i change to Razer Viper Ultimate wireless

Maybe that's the reason, I already change games control to toggle aim wherever possible.

Same here. 502 Hero. 10 months in right click faulty. I don't even game that much.

mt g402 lasted for 5years,
from dota,ragnarok online and pubg used the same mouse without any issue after millions of click
