    I used this mouse for three years.
    Correction--I used three of these mice for three years.
    Every December, the mouse would start double-clicking on either the left or right side, which would make gaming impossible, and general usage irritating. However, the warranty lasted two years (and the mouse doesn't cost much anyway), so I figured I might as well get a free replacement every year, rather than testing my luck with another mouse. I'm very picky!
    I did eventually find a worthy successor in the #Logitech G700s. No double-clicking yet, and I've owned it for slightly over a year. Yippee.

      Editing … is there a power switch/button on these? I got a wireless mouse just one time and the only way to power it down was to insert the usb receiver into the mouse. I absolutely hated that. I'm looking at various mice right now but for most of them it's hard to figure out specifics on how it works. I want to be able to pick up the mouse and wipe it off without getting laser in my eye. And without accidentally powering it back on.

      Editing … Every wireless mouse I've used has had a power switch. The Anywhere Mouse MX has a rather large (not intrusive) switch on the bottom. It also comes with a handy case, as it's meant for travel, I suppose. The laser is invisible (I refuse to buy anything with a bright light), and even works on glass! I recall the battery lasting 3 or so months, with frequent daily use. (The #MX620's battery seemed endless, jesus). The buttons are all reprogrammable as well, and it's got the handy back/forwards buttons and Logitech's hyper-scrolling. A good investment I'd say, unless you're looking for a particularly ergonomic mouse, or something that won't double-click after a year (Warranty is helpful).

      Editing … looks like Logitech is the way to go then, they have a whole line of wireless mice that look more or less the same. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/logitech-mouse-910001935 the wireless mouse I have is mini sized and probably meant for laptops. The USB receiver is also quite large, the size of a thumb drive or a cigarette lighter roughly. Something that you obviously couldn't leave attached to the laptop diring travel. So both those things are red flags I guess, as long as I don't get a mouse that fits those criteria I should be fine hopefully.

      Editing … All the Logitech devices I've used also had a handy slot in the mouse for storing the USB stick, great for travel. That button below the scroll wheel in the mouse you linked is probably what toggles the hyperscrolling, I'd bet. (in other cases, you just click down the wheel--Anywhere Mouse, for example)

      Editing … I don't want a slot for the USB stick. As that implies you have to insert it to power it off. What's hyperscrolling? I Google it and all I know is it's considered cheating in counterstrike.

      Editing … No, there's absolutely no need to insert the USB stick. If that was present in mice you've previously used, then that design is now obsolete, as practically every new wireless mouse offers a USB slot (generally in the battery pack), used only for easy transportation. Plus, the on/off switch would be useless if you needed to insert the USB stick :p
