True. You have
to realise, though, that even for stuff I am going to use,
I prefer things I can repair. I know this is odd, but I would rather have
something that needs minor repairs every couple of years (like replacing
microswitches) but if I do that can carru on running for many years than
something that runs fine for 5 years and then fails in a way that I can't
fix.
Fair enough. And I do see where you're coming from, but for
something as pedestrian as a mass-market mouse, personally I don't go
that far. More power to you, though. will last
maybe a year or two and give limited functionality, or a more
expensive device that will last more likely a decade or more (I have
several decade-old expensive Apple optical mice) and give enhanced
And how many of those used capacitive sensors in place of switches?
