I have owned three "gaming" mice from them and all three eventually end up just stopping one day. And by one day I mean 6 months to a year later. Meanwhile I still have a original microsoft first gen optical mouse and it still works like a champ. I really like the feel of the logitech mice but I have had such bad luck, I am wondering if its just typical for mice to last 6 months these days? I don't think I am very rough on them at all.
 
I've had my logitech $20 mouse for about 3 years now. About to get another logitech just so i have more buttons for gaming at hand.

my mx500 gaming mouse, and that of my friend as well, started freaking out after 3 years. 3 years of hardcore, daily 2-7 hrs of use/day. i did buy a refurb MX Revolution that was defective out of the box but returned that to the retailer for a refund.

logitech has the best RMA process of probably any company on the planet. 1 year warranty on their peripherals and they usually just replace it w/o even asking for the defective item back...file for an RMA and they usually just ship a replacement via 3day shipping.
 
I have a Logitech Trackman Marble+ which sees daily use which I got back in the mid to late 90's that still works. The left click button needs a little more pressure than when it was brand new, but it still works. I should probably take it apart and clean it. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something blocking it from getting pressed all the way down. Either that or I can "add" a little to the top of the contact so when the button is pushed down it has the correct amount of travel.

I also have an MX700 that I wouldn't trade for anything. It's 5 years old and the original batteries in it weren't even replaced until the end of last year. The batteries are still used in a flashlight since they aren't dead. They just don't hold a full charge after 5 years. Otherwise, the mouse is working as good as new.

I've never had a problem with the somewhat higher end Logitech products such as those I mentioned. I have had trouble with some of the really cheap mice but that's what I would expect from a cheap mouse. Even then they lasted at least a couple of years with no problems.

 
My MX1000 has been going strong for 2 years now. My VX revolution notebook mouse is acting kinda funny, but that could be because it's gotten thrown against the wall a couple of times...

 
Sounds like a string of bad luck to me. I've had my MX518 for at least 3 years and it still works just fine. I also have a MX Revolution that has worked perfectly for a long time as well....

And as stated above, Logitech's customer service is top notch in my opinion. Send an email and I bet you'll hear back from them in no time.

Good luck....

 
I had an MX1000, which died after about a year and a half. Luckily, Logitech were quick to replace the thing and gave me no hassle whatsoever. You don't even need the receipt. I have had my G5 now for half a year, and, of course, no problems. Most mice generally don't last that long anyway, dirt and whatnot. I don't really know of any companies that last much longer anyway.
 
My trusty MS Optical has lasted quite a while now (5+ yrs?) and my logitechs are all running fine as well (marble FX, MX300, MX518, G7 -- though, none of these are used on my main systems, lol).

Stop slamming the mouse down on the table whenever you get pwned. :p
