how often do you replace your mouse

[her34]

how often do you replace your mouse? is it for newer features or because your old mouse breaks down?

The only time I ever replace my mouse is when 1)it becomes out of date (like ball mouse to optical) or 2)it breaks. Just because of the fact that I hate to get used to a new mouse.

Last time I replaced it when someone needed a keyboard/mouse set and wanted the set I was currently using. They got my set at about half price and I upgraded.

Replaced ball with optical, optical broke, replaced it with new optical.
Either breaks, or gets crappy (ie: ball).

I purchased a Logitech MX510 mouse for my gamin fix. and also because it was also much more comfortable to use than my old microsoft basic optical mouse. I won't be upgrading this one though unless it breaks, or some new ubertacular ForemanGrill/laser mouse combo comes out. (OR USB becomes obsolete 😛)

Every 5-7 months. I eventually tear down my mouse from all the clicking I do when I play starcraft. 🙂

I've had my Intellimouse for many years without probs, if it ever breaks I will steal the one I bought for my wife because I don't think they make them anymore 🙁 Its the only 5 button mouse I've ever liked.
