Same has been my experience for over two decades. I used to feel
blessed if they would last six months. I finally switched tactics last
year and tried gaming mice. I thought about the way they're used. It's
comparable to how much I click for emails and research related to
ongoing Life.. shtuff.

If I can help it, I'll never buy a "regular" mouse again. I'm still
poverty level so I buy bottom dollar electronics, used and otherwise.
If you can find "cheap" new gaming mice, the price kind of evens out
with buying multiple regular mice during a specific time period. That
means it's longer in between those times of frustration when they fizz
out always at just the wrong time.

In thinking more on it, I've tripped into a couple sales where the
alleged "gaming" mouse was the price of regular ones. Yeah, in that
case it might be purely about the appearance of gaming and not the
mechanics, but those mice still lasted longer so something was
thankfully also tougher under the hood, maybe just enough to satisfy
average (novice) consumers' expectations. :)
