I miss the days where you could just buy something from Logitec or Hayes or Gravis or CH Products and know it was not garbage just because the brand could be trusted. Finding a trustable brand these days seems super hit or miss. You'll get a great item and then the next one will be some cheap china garbage that dies in 4 months.
You'll take your $200+ gaming mouse that has a 90% chance to have a double click issue because we can save $0.02 per mouse by using cheaper switches, that'll force you to get multiple replacements through warranty (if it hasn't expired yet), and you'll like it!
- Logitech
Meanwhile, my OG G502 mouse from 2013~ is still working perfectly almost 10 years later.
FYI to those with double-click issues: you can often fix it with one of these, soldering supplies, and some elbow grease.
