I wish newer mouse has been as reliable. Even standard Microsoft USB Mouse failed me after a year or two, multiple times already.

On the other hand, my first mouse, a cheap OKER branded, lasted me 10 years before clicks start not registering.

Prices have gone down though. You can buy a Logitech mouse for €25 including shipping. For such a price replacing it every year isn't a big deal.

Even hiend mice fail at alarming rates currently, all due to OMRON being forced by their clients (microsoft/logitech/razer/steelseries/benq) to open factory in China. Price difference between Japanese made switch and Chinese was always maybe $.5 per switch. Today you dont even have choice of better quality.
