What are you doing with your mice to cause such high failure rates? I haven't had any failures with any of the Logitech mice I've used. My MX518 had some small issue with the left click getting stuck because I banged the mouse on the table in frustration so many times, but it still works ok.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I wish I knew, then I could stop doing it. Right now, the answer seems to be "using the mouse" which is why I'm considering the switch. I used to slam my mice down when I started doing arenas in WoW, but I'm not even considering those. Right now it's my g500 that's failing with an alternately unresponsive/hyper responsive left click in less than a year of use. Before that, a g700 had 3 of the 4 thumb buttons break off and fall out of the side of the mouse. Before that, it was a slew of mx518s, most of which had the clicking issues on the left and/or right mouse buttons. I did have 2 mx518s that lasted awhile with no problems, but those I either slammed to hell or put through a monitor.Originally Posted by Animeniax

Haha I thought it was just me who was dumb enough to destroy his own peripherals to avenge in-game defeats. I've ruined a couple keyboards in the same manner.
I guess gaming a lot will shorten the life of the mouse. I always thought game designers made you rapidly press a button in-game so you would wear out your controller/mouse/kb faster.
