eksasol: I never have problems with the Logitech MX518, G5 or G400s in term of buttons durability. Only problem with them is after a few years the laser goes haywire and stopped working properly, so I always keep an extra new one in stock. I'm not really into the design of the new Logitech mice (or Razr ones), so I'm considering Steelseries when my Logitech dies. I can't stand these gaming mice with rainbow LED that lights up the whole room, or a have a design that make me look like some l33t hax0r fps nerd, at least with the Steelseries I think I can turn them off.
Most mice probably have a way to turn them off, I know Logitech does. It also has an auto-dim feature that dims the LEDs after N seconds.

I second the G5. Mine still works after more than 7 or 8 years, though the feet are so worn down that it's usable for precice movements. Never had mechanical issues with it, other than the mouse wheel clogging up so badly with dust and debris that scrolling stopped working and I had to take it apart and clean it. Workes like a charm.

Currently I'm using a G502, but I haven't used it long enough to make a definitive statement on it's reliablity. Generally though, I never had a Logitech product fail on me.

Yeah, I have had mice suffer double-clicking after years of usage. However, the ones that had such issues lasted about 4 to 5 years since I used mine almost everyday. In the past, I did have issues with earlier optical mice (even wired varieties). However, that is very rarely a problem anymore.

never had any issues of a mouse dying out of mechanical reasons even in my most active gaming days i have to admit. Never had issues with logitech hardware - mostly using the mid prices K&M wireless bundles and can only remember using 3 of them in the last 15-18 years which gives all of them a 5 year+ lifespan and only had to replace one of them due to technical reasons (wireless emitter acting up) and the other one was just replaced by i was feeling liked having a "better" (more modern/dpi) mouse. So ya i would say i can recommend Logitech.

10$ office mouses might not look fancy or have any special "gaming" label, but they'll get the job done and probably outlast any other piece of hardware in your PC.

At one time I was going through a period of playing insane amounts of minesweeper, all day every day. I broke some extremely expensive gaming gear, then learned my lesson and switched to Microsoft Basic mice just because they were the cheapest at my store. Well, they broke all the same, but it was interesting to see that $10 vs $100 gear didn't make much of a difference in terms of switch durability.
