I am not 'bragging', but all mice I've purchased wouldn't last more than three months of constant usage.

The last victim is Logitech G500. Previously two Razers.

Now the said mouse is suffering from phantom left click.

Could I ask for recommendation for durable gaming mouse? The one that can stand 1 million clicks for sure. I'm playing Diablo 3 and Dota 2 constantly and they're hard on mice.

I don't know. I have a Logitech G400 that I've been using heavily for 3 years. I mean really heavy use. No problem so far.

I guess sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't, even with mice from the same manufacturer...

I have the g500 for almost 3 years now, i can say i am quite a heavy user (fps and moba games)
and the left click hasn't given up on me yet, though the wheel's brakes have become quite soft (g500's wheel can be unlocked and rotate fast) and even when locked it rotates faster than normal.

Had my Logitech MX518 for years (don't even know how many anymore), no problems so far

My MX518(SE) recently broke but lasted me 6 years and felt well built. A great mouse indeed but the left click starting being temperamental. If I didn't already have a replacement G500, I might have bought another MX518. The G500 feels less well built and the tilt wheel is more wobbly than the MX518 but I'm getting used to it.

I'm using a MX518 too and I love it. I guess it's been replaced by a newer model now but I see there's quite a few retailers still selling the MX518's so they must have had a good back stock. I'm thinking about ordering a couple for spares before they are all gone. I don't want to have to get used to another mouse!

Roccat Savu. Love it; have it 2 years; it has many cool functions and is light. Mine has currently just over 1M clicks and is working like a charm CLICK. The other Roccats should do fine too.

Wth, didn't have a clue there was a mouse stats software of the kind. May i know what you are using right there? I'm curious.

Those are Roccat drivers - almost all roccat mice have build-in memory for profiles, and they track some stats. [You even get achievements :D ] Google some review, the drivers here are really a masterpiece.

I swear by my lovely €10 mice which last me ages, and are ridiculously cheap to replace even if they do break :D

I have the same mouse. It is a defect within the mouse. Here is a video about it and a possible fix So far opening up the mouse and merely placing duct-tape on the hammer has worked for me. Only issue i have now is after 2 years is that the right click double clicks although very rarely. If you have a waranty you might want to try that first though. Oh, and here is a link to test your mouse clicks

edit: Well thats if a phantom left click works the same way as a misread single click turning into a double click. if not then ignore this.

Correct, one left click translates as double if not triple clicks. I'll go take a look on that video. Much appreciated.

I've been using a Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse for over 5 years with 0 wear. It's been out of production for a long time, though.

I loved that mouse, bought one when it first was released in 2007. Unfortunately, it finally wore out this spring. And I'm not willing to spend what amazon sellers want for a new one. So I'm now using some razor thing, and it just sucks by comparison.

It's not a gaming mouse but it is really comfortable and durable, take a look for: A4Tech K3-230

I've got a G600. Just got a new one from Logitech because they are very nice when it comes to replacing faulty stuff - I'd started getting double clicks instead of single clicks on my previous one.
Check with Logitech Customer Support. If they decide to send you a replacement, you'll get it the next day.

that is why i do not buy over price mice as i have found those in most cases do not last me any longer then a cheaper mouse

though so far my 15 dollar mouse is holding up lol it just a basic Sentey whirl wind i got it mainly for the style of it and fact that it did have some dpi and i am glad i did

the thing is it is hard to say what would last 1 million clicks because logitech says the mouse you have is good for up to 8 million clicks lol

none the less a lot people praise the Microsoft side winder mice

like i said i get the cheaper mice because the way i see it i could get an 80 dollar mouse have it last maybe 3-6 months or buy a 15 dollar mice and even if i buy 2-3 a year it is still cheaper then 80 every few months plus you could always buy 2 cheaper ones to always have on on hand

but really the choice is your

I use a mad catz mmo7. It is Outrageously durable and customizable. the chassis is made of stainless steel and is optical, not laser. it has 18 programmable buttons as well as a left click assist and right click assist.

I have the older RAT 7, it's about 4 years old now and it's finally falling apart, middle click started bouncing, left click is beginning to, rust on the screws from my hands. But it's served me well, I guess. Sensor likes to fail on one axis very, very rarely, and by that I mean for maybe 10 seconds every 3 months.

Also, not to sound like a smartass but I think the chassis is aluminum, not stainless steel.

My Logitech g500 was going to hell as well, I was about to throw it away when I found this guide:
http://zalbee.intricus.net/2014/02/how-i-fixed-my-logitech-g500-mouse/

I followed through, the copper leaf spring shown in the guide was corroded, a rub of sandpaper and everything works perfect now. Wish I had done it sooner, went like a year with the click problem because I didn't have the money to buy a new mouse.

Well, if you smash you mouse into the wall when losing a game then it's likely to happen. Otherwise I don't understand how all your mice can break after just a few months.
My G9 works perfectly fine for 7 years now and I use it every day.

I bought my mouse for about 10€ and it's been working fine almost 1,5 years. So I think you should stop smashing your mouse against the wall when you lose Dota 2 match.
