I used to buy MX Master or whatever every year. We have several people and a bunch of computers in our house, so I bought around 20 or 25 of these "high end" mice.
But about half of them died within 15-16 months. And by "died" I mean, 1 click became either 0 (bad) or 2 (much much worse!).
None died within the 1-year warranty period, though. So that matches your experience. And the mice are so good I was almost OK with that, but not with more than 1-2 mice.
So then I bought a shitload of non-logitech mice, but.. it's hard. Ignoring the awful software and premature mechanical degradation, there really aren't better mice. I ended up with mostly ASUS ROG Chakram (good, but laughable charging flaws) and Razer Basilisk 3 Pro (good, but not good enough for the insane price; costs more than my first car).
- rationalist 3y ago> None died within the 1-year warranty period, though. Does the receipt track the serial number?
- veidr 3y agoNo, but I typically write the delivery date on the bottom with a permanent marker (Sharpie). I also do this with e.g. camera batteries, vacuum batteries... basically anything that costs more than $50.
- rationalist 3y agoBy writing the date on them, they are no longer fungible.
- veidr 3y agoThere is actually a way to remove the writing, if you want to bad enough to spend a couple minutes on it.
- chrsw 3y agoRazer market themselves as performance peripherals for gamers, not super reliable mice for home or office users' piece-of-mind. Competitive gamers probably aren't too worried about replacing their mice every year or something.
- veidr 3y agoTrue, but I was basically just looking for a good mouse. I've never had any other mouse die or wear out, except for those Logitech ones.
