I wish my mouse would last 11 years. The scroll wheel is vital for me and I wear them down after 2-3.

I bought a Kinesis Advantage in 2011. I only just recently replaced it with the Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro. The key caps could use a replacement, but besides that it’s in good condition.

My Logitech G5 is like 18 years old and other than being dirty it has basically zero wear on it. Only thing that’s falling apart is the braiding around the wire

I still have the same Microsoft Intellimouse that I got in 2000 when I went away to college. IIRC it was one of the first that used optical tracking vs ye old ball.

I’d probably still be using my CeBIT-branded IntelliMouse Explorer if it hadn’t been jostled by too many backpack rides. It was just plain good.

My parents bought a new mouse when I was a kid back in the early 2000s cause we had a crappy view sonic one that came with the pc. The new one was a Microsoft one and it didn’t work cause it needed xp and we had ME. Back to the viewsonic mouse it was for another 20 years until I bought them a Logitech wireless one on a pc I built for them a few years ago.

Wild how the cheap stuff works well for so many years!

Did your parents keep ME for 20 years??? I had it in my first PC and I seemed to be the only person on the planet who had no issues with it, but even so, I was done with it after about a year

Nah we upgraded after a few years. But ME was a struggle! Had so many crashes in Diablo 2 and EverQuest. Thats all that mattered to me.

Meanwhile a good Xbox controller will only last 100 hours

I’ve used my xbox 360 controller pretty much daily since 2008, mostly on my pc. Looks as good as new, but with some tiny stick drift since a couple of months back
