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
