Do they make any mice that aren't junk?

Logitech MX518 - Still going strong after many years. Ironically, it's my second one. The first one had the middle mousewheel break within its warranty period, but this replacement has beein going for years.

Yes, it's wired. Point is, get the equivalent wireless model. The MX518 is a "gaming" class mouse, so not cheap.

Logitech makes some of the best most reliable mice. I have been using the Logitech MX 510 for the last 10 years or so as well .  http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Performance-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00020E4QO

It’s still the most precise, smooth mouse I have ever used. If this one were to go out I would probably by another even though I could only get one used. Actually now that I think I should buy one now just for backup; they are kind of expensive for a mouse though.

Never liked wireless mice. The imprecision, the weird little lag just does not do it for me.

They last longer than the others (which is why I buy them) but I'm still lucky to get a year out of one.

I wonder if anybody makes mice with cherry switches in them.

What exactly do you do to your mouse that they break so much?  I don't think I've ever really had an issue with mice, wired or wireless and I use them for intense gaming, click them angrily and bang them even.

That said I'm using a Logitech MK300 wireless Mouse and Keyboard combo.  It was dirt cheap for the pair and aside from just having to update the software periodically, they haven't given me any issue for the 2+ years I've had it.

I use it.  :)   Seriously that's the difference.  Mice, even really good ones are only rated for so many clicks.... I'm just doing more clicking than you.  Between my programming, my photoshop work, gaming and just general usage there are a LOT of clicks in a given day for my poor old mouse.

That's a right-handed mouse man.... I physically can't use that one.

Can always teach yourself to use a right handed mouse.  I am left handed and have always used a mouse with my right hand.  Play Rock Band the same way.
