I have a Mastermouse MM530 by Cooler Master at the moment, bought on the basis of its “sturdy” build, but the mouse wheel has been playing up for a while now, occasionally scrolling down when I’m in fact scrolling up.

I’m not even looking for a gaming mouse, just a decent mouse with a clickable scroll wheel. More buttons is nice, but not needed. Any tips?

    but the mouse wheel has been playing up for a while now, occasionally scrolling down when I’m in fact scrolling up.

    Are you able to open it up and clean the parts around the scroll wheel? You’d be surprised how much crap accumulates there!

    If you are looking, Logitech now offers replacement parts for some of their nice through ifixit: https://www.ifixit.com/News/75363/genuine-parts-for-logitech-mice-coming-to-ifixit

    I’ve got the MX Anywhere 3 as my general use mouse. It works well, but I do wish it had AA batteries, instead of an internal one. I hadn’t considered repairability when I got it, but it’s nice to know that I can get replacement parts, and a replacement battery, should I need it.
