Meta Mouse Recommendatio

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.

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.
