I had a deathadder that died in a similar fashion some five years ago. I bought another one after that, and its worked perfectly since then. Might have been a bad batch.
I’ve repaired many flaky vintage mice by swapping the switches.
There are industrial microswitches that can take a ton of clicks and also you can tune the weight of the click by checking the datasheets.
Digikey and Mouser are your friends, you could probably pay for a dozen switches and a workable soldering iron for what it costs to replace some of these gaming mice.
If you’re on a budget, just get a clone Hako iron.
