Until about a year ago my experience with Logitech mice had been good. Those that had died normally did so after falling off a desk, which I don't really see as a manufacturing fault. But since then several I've bought have all failed with the problem of LMB sending double-clicks when pressed once. That includes two separate "Pebble" mice. I read through a LOT of reviews on amazon uk, for cheap & pricey Logitech mice & discovered lots of people had similar experiences - that recent products don't seem to have the quality that older ones had. (In my case I need wireless optical mice, as they're often used running on a bed sheet under a duvet, with the laptop on an overbed table.) For now I'm using an Anker vertical mouse, which has lasted longer than the previous Logitech mice. It too has fallen to the floor a few times, but I have a theory that its odd body shape means that it tends to hit the floor then roll over (like a landing paratrooper) which damages it less than traditionally shaped rodents). As a side issue, the vertical form-factor - once I got used to it - has proved more comfortable for use when sitting up in bed, using the mouse approx half-way between my bum & knee, either on top of or underneath the duvet. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
