Mouse Discussions
I have bought a Mionix 3200 mouse in 2014, and now it has the following issues:
- single click now performs double click and sometimes even tripple click
- scroll wheel turns the page and then goes back to the original scroll point
I looking to buy a new mouse now, palm-grip, big (as I have big hands) and durable. What would you recommend me?
Thank you!

Doesn't all depend on price range?
-
The prince range should be within 100$ but no more.

Try to get a gamer (gaming) mouse, from logitech or razer maybe. These tend to be decently durable.
-
I was actually thinking about the Logitech Prodigy G403. Seems pretty good.

my razor mouse left click got screwed in a similar manner.
left click dragging gave me a lot of problems. the dragged click would release mid-clicking and cause all kinds of problems.
it seems they are making these POS electronics these days with planned obsolescence in mind.
I wasn't about to give up. bought 10x mouse switches from ebay for like 2$ or so.
soldered it instead of the old one and the button is like new.
middle button is harder to find, but I bet you can.
I recommend buying a solder! can be handy in a lot of scenarios.

That's good but are all switches universal? I mean, don't you need a specific switch for a given mouse? I'm assuming the cheap switches last less than the original ones, right?
I already have a solder gun so that's no problem.
Also, here is my scroll issue, from 0:00 and 0:15. The scroll just jumps backwards. I have cleaned the scroll wheel but it still does this.

I don't think the switches will last less, but only time will tell..
like I said they're 10 for 2$ so even if I had to replace one every 8 months-1 year, it's still pays off.
the switch in my mouse was most certainly universal. you can open your mouse and see for yourself!
about the wheel - I don't know, didn't try replacing, but trying it could solve your problem and save you some 50-2$ so I'd try that first.. especially if you have the solder skills

Personally, I've had it with gaming/super-duper/flashy mice. I've had an Intellipoint Explorer, a fuchsia Razer (can't remember which model but it had selectable DPI and a big button in the center), a Habu and a Logitech MX1000. They all ended up breaking or malfunctioning, and I'm not a gamer or anything, it was just several hours of normal usage every day.
Right now I'm using a generic one on my laptop, and a Genius Xscroll on the desktop. The former is pretty much totaled appearance-wise, but cost $4 and still works five years later.

So you're saying gaming mice which are more expensive break more often than office mice?
-
Well, imagine how many times gamers click rather the ones in "office" :D
-
Had no idea the "Genius" brand still existed. I've had many mechanical mice from them back in the day.

I use logitech g102. It's small and has a very good sensor. I really like playing cs go with it. I use steelseries qck+ mousepad with this mouse.
