for me its the dpi up button that some times sticks, scroll is fine though. ICue sucks, luckily Linux has ckb-next

also, what was it you originally needed the extra inputs for?

Love tilling compositors, Swayfx then moved to Niri for a scrolling compositor.

Makes it great for games like Arma 3 😍 and 3D cad.

I’ve had mine for 5 maybe 6 years with fairly regular use.

Old is gold :') most manufacturing now is done so cheaply, its a feature of capitalism, it keeps us spending.

Depends on what you mean by easily.

I would look for a mouse where the screws aren’t covered by the stick on feet. Less can be more, less buttons, less things to break = more stable. Its also good to look at the faulty market: buy a working mouse, and when it eventually breaks source replacement parts from faulty mice from eBay, if the market is stupidly priced or non existent you many need to do some research for which switches are used, this can be difficult to ID.

So stick with mainstream brands like Logitech, Corsair, Razor (not my first choice but there will be no end of faulty mice 😅) but if your up for IDing PCB components then any mouse can be fixable.
