Gamer mouse are actually very tough and last a long time, like 5 to 10 years. The software usually is the first to break during the years of usage. Since 2000 I only bought 3 Logitech mouse and once tried Razor but the button double clicked broke in just a few months and never tried them again. All 3 Logitech mouse still works except for the oldest one because the drivers don't work anymore and I can't use the extra buttons, but as a mouse it still works.
