What mouse do you use that is long lasting? I have a bin of Logitech mice with issues registering clicks.

I have cheap one and expensive ones(mx anywhere 3) and they all start having clicking issues after a year or 2.

I tried steel series, but their scroll wheel went out after a year.

Is there something out there that I don’t know about?

My #Logitech MX vertical #mouse has a failing microswitch under the left click button. This is a mouse which has a millions of clicks rating & there’s no way I am close to the durability limit. I also treat this mouse well & keep it clean & away from spill risks etc. Going to be contacting Logitech & demanding a replacement. It’s the switches that go bad because they’re not spec’d correctly. Not very #repairable in my situation, sadly.

I don't have a pantry in my kitchen* so I keep cans, bottles, packs of pasta etc. in my basement.

I know we're "not alone" in the basement🐀 but I never had any trouble storing goods there.

However the pack of shelled pistachios was clearly too much of a temptation.
They ate half of it.

*Which I hate. If I were rich I would redo it entirely.

Is it just me, or is it impossible to get a decent vertical mouse?

I've owned a couple of the cheap ones, and the scroll wheels failed after ~6 months. Splurged on a Logitech MX Vertical, and the scroll wheel still works great over a year later - but the left click switch is failing (I can hear/feel it click, but it drops the input 10% of the time).

Anyone out there have any suggestions? Has to be a vertical mouse due to accumulated damage from 30+ years of using "flat" mice. I don't need any bells and whistles (extra buttons, trackball, joystick, etc) but I won't complain if they're present. I use a mouse 10+ hours a day, so durability is important!

Edit: got the model of the Logitech mouse wrong, heh.
