I generally buy mice that are of the Razer brand and have those 12 mmo buttons on the sides.
They generally start of have issues on about 2 years.
Things have been better since they made them having removable side panels since you may have to just swap that part with a new one.
The models after my own also started having optical switches on the main buttons which supposedly means they will start to last somewhat longer
I have tried every brand there is and they all die on me. Typically its the right mouse button.
From all the software provided i am stuck with razer. I still dont know how you are supposed to use logitechs or corsairs software to setup binds, i managed but it was pain and i forget it instantly again.
That said in my experience all of them are not worth the money. But i dont want to use no name products mostly because of the software support.
So i am stuck with buying the razer deathadder essential over and over again. Not really recommended tho, i just dont want to adapt to other software or mouse.
Have you used any models with optical switches? I am curious if their main buttons last longer as advertised
Wireless mouse.
Even regular switches last forever if they are made right. You donāt need optical for that.
Itās more of a brand-customer cat and mouse game these days. They offer you worse and worse products, then you brand-hop and buy way more mice that you need to just to find one that works for you. Then when that mouse breaks, the cycle repeats.
So instead of just going in the first store you see and buying Logitech, you now have to buy 2-3 expensive mice and some no-brands before you find one that works. Itās very annoying.
Yea older models still rock to this day. Every new office computer that I build is with a Logitech M185 because that mouse is eternal in both longevity and battery power. And comfy, and cheap. And wireless. If it stops working, chances are you broke it somehow and itās not its fault.
Gaming Logitech mice used to be like that, too. But not any more.
I do not have many options for a mouse with 12 side buttons 
Just buy a Naga. That thing has been on the market since forever and everybody says itās good. I have not personally tried it, because I donāt like 2000 side buttons on a mouse, but if it has been selling so good for so long, something must be right with it.
I used to have a G602 that also lasted forever, but itās an old model and itās replacement model is trash.
I am on my ~3rd naga now.
But to be honest, these get so much use in MMO gaming that some wear after 2+ years is justified
Yeeshā¦ Donno what to tell you then. How long do they last ? If itās 2 years or more, just accept it and keep buying lol. I consider 2 years to be a success, most mice these days donāt last that long, they are hot trash.
Try Redragon ? Their keyboards are superb, but I have not tried their mice. Might be good.
Well, unless I have not registered my current mouse, the most recent naga that I got is from December 2021, which is not too bad.
The side buttons get revitalized with some WD-40 contact cleaner
3 years is pretty good. Very good even. Especially if you play a lot.
Iād buy one if they had a model with 5-6 side buttons intead of 12. Thatās too many for me.
Yea Iād imagine they get pretty dirty and stuffed being at the thumb. Try disassemblying and cleaning it first, Iāve restored some mice that way. It is usually a temp solution but hey, more use is more use. WD40 is not ideal but works. If you can find an electronic cleaner (these are mainly alchohols, so no residue) in a spraycan, these work better.
definitely a lot
I tend to use 9 of them. The last 3 are not easy to reach.
It is a version of WD that is for cleaning electronic contacts. it is quite good at its job.
Now that my memory is getting jogged, yeah my current mouse is a naga trinity from 2021 and it has managed to last until now to the point of it being a retired model.
I think my brain was confused with how I went through like 2-3 coolermaster headsets quickly because the plastic kept breaking
Redragon M990, 4-5 years.
Using a R.A.T Pro X3
love it, have it for several years now after my Logitech one died.
You mean that I should buy something every streamer and wanna be influencer tells me to buy? Because from the customer part, very few ppl actually say its good. Not sure if you read the topic, but I bought multiple nagas in the past and they were all complete trash that didnt last. I only paid double for their advertising campaign.
They tell you to buy everything. It has nothing to do with quality. Whoever pays them, they obey. Not everything they advertise is bad.
I only have experience from friends that bought Nagas. They all said they are good. And they play a lot.
Online reviews you have to take with a truckload of salt. And consider that people are more likely to leave a reivew if a product is bad. Those that find it good just use it and donāt bother with reviews.
Also good and bad are subjective. Some people want a mouse to last 10 years, some are happy with 2. Nagas are expensive but there are not a lot of options for a 12button mice. Especially ones that have been around for some time to stand the test of time. Iād consider them to be good. You may not.
Got a Logitec G600 with 12 buttons.
Not only is it immortal (hasent broken yet, after years of heavy punishment), but compared to a 2 button mouse (mine has 12) it feels like playing wow with cheat codes.
Currently on a razer naga (v2 pro), old mouse was also a razer naga, and the same before. I expect about a 4 year life span out of them and usually they last just that or longer.
I once bought the very first steelseries wow mouse but the main click button got broken. So even it has many side buttons. The most important button on the mouse died. I think within a year of use. Thanks for remember me about the mouse. I
Gonna take it back for decoration later this day. Also the size of it is too big. But the mouse is really beautiful.
Right now i have a logitech with a few extra buttons that i only use 2 of + a macro. Shift/ctrl/alt + side button one/two or just side button without pressing one of those. Is 8 extra tasks with 2 buttons extra.
Currently using a Razer Orochi v2 - itās old enough that the white plastic is starting to discolour, but otherwise itās fine.
Never bothered with an āMMO mouseāā¦ left, right, scroll and a thumb button is quite adequate for me, and I spent many years playing with regular business class mice - although I have come to appreciate the lightness of the Orochi and will possibly make this my standard model going forward. Itās main downside is the battery life is only about a month, but I just have a set of rechargeables so thereās always 3 ready to swap right in when the it starts flashing a warning.
Mostly I replace them when the soft touch plastic starts to degrade, so about every 5 years
