I find that after about 18 months or so I start having issues with the left button. It will start double clicking or not clicking at all and so I go and get my new spare for the closet and add getting another one to my to do list
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have used these devices for over ten years, and I can tell you they are very dependable, comfortable and functional, the battery lasts over a year, I am on my computer more than eight hours a day off and on, and these things are workhorses. You do have to remove the ball and clean the three support bearings, and occasionally wash the ball in mild soapy water, but they last years.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just bought a new one last month. My previous one was about 10 years old before it died.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use my last one all the time for spreadsheet and surfing. It lasted me for about 3 years and I just went shopping for a new mouse. Couldn't fine one I liked as much. So I got the same one. Thanks
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have found that they last about 2 years then it starts going strange. The first one that did this I thought it was my laptop and took it in and it turned out is was this mouse. I bought another one and it lasted about the same and started doing strange things. This time I knew it was the mouse and not the laptop. I won't buy another one. Two strikes your out in my game. Just my experience and opinion of course.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As Long as The Battery Lasts
