Hello all, thank you for reading and helping me. I will define my terms in the subject line.
Repeated = one or two per month at most
"Small drops" = roughly 18 inches to the floor from the armrest of my chair
"Carpeted floor" = residential flat carpeting upon a wood floor
I will explain why I'm asking this. I use my wired USB optical mouse on the right armrest of my fabric-covered chair while gaming. I try to be careful not to knock the mouse onto the floor, but yea, stuff happens. My Logitech G500 gaming mouse had survived several drops to the floor during a 9 month period but finally gave up the ghost last night when I bumped it accidentally onto the floor. It still shows a cursor but moving it correctly is impossible.
Yes yes, I know that 1) you should not drop a mouse onto the floor and that 2) having a desk would be a better setup but that's neither possible nor comfortable. Is this mouse just a tad too fragile or will any wired USB optical mouse die from these accidents ? Thanks in advance for your time!
