I would like to make a thread where we can see which mouse lasted in your hands for longest?

For me, it's A4Tech 747XL (it's 3600DPI with up to 19.5g of customizable weights) ... almost 5 years... with summer breaks... It started to lose scroll precision... but everything still works.

The mice I've used longest are the Razer Mamba (~4 years, right click started double clicking) and then SS Kinzu v1 (1 year, no double clicking yet)

I've never broken a mouse. Literally impossible to answer this question unless you are some kind of hulking brute that manipulates mice via hammer strikes.

I have an MX300 and an MX500, both around 14 - 15 y.o. (probs both 2002). Both working like a charm, no issues whatsoever. Also have WMO1.1, IMO1.1, IME3.0, OMB, same story.
The one I've used the most probably was a DeathAdder Black Edition.

Back then there weren't any click spam heavy games, as there are today.

I can only think of diablo 2, which earned the nickname mouse killer.

"Cybersport" device:

Roccat Kone Pure Military - more than 2 years(still using)
Razer Diamondback - the same(broken left button)

Office mouse:

Genius NetScroll+(with ball) - 3 years or something

Shortest lifetime: A4Tech X-750...(can't remember) - died after 5 or 6 months only.

Logitech G9 Laser - Nine years and counting. In that time, its had replacement pads and cable, used daily as my work mouse.
Razer Naga - Six months before the sensor gave up. Returned to retailer, repalced with a Mamba
Razer Mamba TE Chroma - Seven months in use as my home gaming mouse. No reliability issues like the Naga, though feels very cheap and flimsy, lacks features. I would not pay £80 for one at all (it was a 'free' upgrade when returning the £55 Naga) above)

Got my first G403 today and I was prepared for return spree when I had seen all the complaints.
Welp it was perfect, no need to return.
