Corded mice... breaking?

[Tengis]

Anyone else ever experienced this:

Right where the USB cable hits the mouse and goes inside to connect... one or two (I dont know how many really) wires eventually bent apart after about a year of heavy use. I cut the bad part of the cable off and took an old USB printer cable and filled in the blank. Works fine now... =).

Anyone else ever experience this? Ive never had a mouse do that. Ive got an MX510.

Ya... its kinda weird. Really the only reason I fixed it is because the only mouse I had left to use was my MX700 I got from Amazon for 5 bucks over a year ago. And... well... it sucks. The precision/response was horrible compared to my wired MX510. I couldnt play any FPS with it.

This was a big problem with the old MS intellimouse opticals a few years back. It happened to me, and MS sent me a new one for free. I was going to try to put a new cable on the old one, but I never got around to it.
