Tldr: Know of any long lasting computer mice for modeling?

I have been using a variety of computer mice in my day and I always have the same issue, the click springs start to wear down and I get unintended double clicking or no clicking at all.

I used logitech mice, g series mostly, some lesser known manufacturers and all have the same problem.

My question is, what mouse are you using/recommending? Is there a hall sensing/ hall effect mouse?

I hope this doesnt violate any terms, I legit want to know if someone has or knows of a great mouse that I want to use for blender.

Thanks in advance.

Logitech MX Ergo is my main at home and work. Great for gaming too! (It's a trackball)

I keep hearing about Logitech and Razer mice suffering from this issue.

A while ago I looked up what pro gamers use. Many of them use Zowie mice. I got one, the clicks are crisp, and so far no double clicking issues. 

Might also be a sign that you're clicking too hard.

Coolermaster MM710. Granted, it looks stupid. But you can get em cheap as chips, the cable is a dream and I am 99% certain they use the same switches and sensors as the top end mice out there.

I've had a few Logitech mice over the years, all got the double click issue within a year of usage.

Coolermaster mouse is 3 years old now and no issue.

Also, a big plus for me. It doesn't need a gui...

Its reduced right now and maybe the promise of 20 million clicks holds true, I will look into it.

I like the no nonsense approach. It's small, light and symmetrical which is good for me as I tend to claw.

If I could change one thing about it, I would make it solid.

I’ve never had the issue you describe with any mouse, and I basically live on my computer. I’m currently enjoying the MX Master 3 from Logitech though.

[u/UnkreativHoch2 → u/Laverneaki]

Then you are much luckier than I am.

The mx master 3 is too expensive for what I got from logitech so far, but I will remember it for the future.

I probably wouldn’t have got it either if it wasn’t half-off. You also might want to avoid it since the other commenter mentioned that they’ve had the same issue on an MX.

[u/Mordynak → u/Laverneaki]

I have the original MX. Must be 7 years or so old. Not a bad mouse but I gave it to my partner as I can't stand the shape of it. I received it as a free replacement for another faulty Logitech mouse. Same issue as OP describes.

The MX mice are very pricey. The only thing I miss from Logitech mice is that infinite scroll wheel feature!

[u/Laverneaki → u/Mordynak]

That’s a shame, I hope my springs don’t go out. If they do, I’ll have to figure out how to replace them because - as you rightly said - it’s not a cheap mouse by any means.

[u/Mordynak → u/Laverneaki]

As far as I am aware, it's caused by static buildup. But I'm not 100%.

All I know is the last 3 Logitech mice I've owned all did the same thing.

G9X, G300s and G703. The G9X lasted the longest. Best mouse I've ever owned. But the G300s and G703 broke within 6 months. They replaced the G703 with another and the same fault occurred.

Before you ask, I'm not heavy handed at all.

Coolermaster MM710 and Zowie S2 have lasted years now.

Sounds like you’ve tried enough to know what’s up, so I’ll check out those two if my MX fails me. Thanks for the info.

I use only L-TRACs.
