All my Logitech mice eventually develop wheel and/or button issues over time. It usually happens months after the 2yr warranty expires.

My go-to set of inexpensive keyboard and mouse are the Logitech set. They are about as close to the Dell ones as I can find for a full numeric. The only thing I really would like is if the letters wouldn't wear out. I have several of them that work fine aside from the common letters being gone.

I have also had the Logitech mice start double clicking after a year or two of hard use, but haven't found a mouse that didn't. I personally use the Logi Craft keyboard and LOVE it alongside a Flow capable mouse.

Just take the cover off the mouse and soak the switches in alcohol with a Q-tip. That fixes it for me for another 2 yrs or so.

I hate to sound like a commercial, but I have beat many PC mice into submission over the years.
I get the most mileage out of this brand.
I am running one of those G502 wired contraptions and I don't exactly like the ghub software and the extra buttons that get disabled because they are too easy to hit, I have not been able to kill it after three years of 12+ hours a day abuse. Not just use, I mean wearing the finish off and all kinds of gunk and crusty abuse.

I tried cleaning and it does not fix it. I highly suspect the switches and dial encoder inside are worn out.
Ok, I guess I have been lucky as I get the issue of right-clicking double-clicking, like on a file tab. I am still on G500s. I had to do it 2x times so far in its life. That is one thing good with ASUS mice, many have sockable switches that are easy to exchange.

I have had 2 Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1a, none of them developed double clicking in like 4-5 years (of gaming, like Counter-Strike or Diablo).
One of those died due to the self inflicted harsh treatment of the mouse cord - I have put a heavy CRT monitor's feet onto that to prevent the cable moving too freely ;( ;) - the other, I do no remember, maybe I have sold it.
Interestingly I liked the more "continuous" scroll wheel of those and of the Logi mx518's than any of the modern day mid-tier gaming mouses I have had. I do not even know why it is good to have scroll wheels which are only taking input if being scrolled considerably more degrees, but it is a quite common approach nowadays.
But obviously the aforementioned mouses with the approach to the durability are things of the past. But I guess, it is a consequence of gaming becoming more hyped and mainstream, and thus a way bigger and more exploitable market.
The other quite bad phenomenon at the mid/low tier are the side buttons being low quality or rockhard, etc.

The only truly enjoyable development at the mouse front I see, are the superlight mouses. Some weight shaved off is so good to the wrist.
