I mostly play single player strategy games, but sometimes I do play competitive FPS games.
I’ve been looking around and see a lot of good things about Zowie. I see a lot of problems with double clicking with Logitech so I’m avoiding those.

The logitech G502 is the single most durable and consistent mouse I've ever seen, and can usually be found for only like $30 or so (usual price is $70, but every time I've looked it up it's been on sale for half that somewhere). I can't speak to any other logitech mouse or their issues, but I can say that particular model is the exception to their normal shoddy quality.
i second the g502, have used one for years and it hasn't gone wrong yet

just the manufacturers one
not had to use it, so i don't know how long it is/was
Yep I’ve been using a wired g502 for like 10 years and it’s still working great. I don’t ever change DPI so I changed those buttons to volume control and play/pause

I can vouch for the g502, but if you want an alternative I've always loved asus mice. The pugio is super smooth and built like a tank if you need ambidextrous. It even comes with replacement switches iirc.
Huh, I wonder if the quality's slipped over the years or if it's just a function of how popular it is. Mine's been working fine with heavy use for the past four or five years, and as beat to shit as the body of it is now it's still working perfectly. Other mice I've had have always broken within a year, with some switch failing in them or the mouse wheel breaking down and gumming everything up instead. One of the buttons started not registering clicks a few months ago, but some compressed air cleared whatever was jamming it up and it went right back into working order.
I'd still recommend it as a good budget choice in general, although maybe more critically than before if some people get bad ones.

Apparently it has a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, according to the page for it on the bestbuy site, but the amazon one doesn't mention that so idk. Although in the process of looking this up I realized the problem I had a few months ago and fixed with a few blasts of compressed air is the double clicking thing people are talking about, so idk if I was just lucky or if most people are just giving up without trying to fix it.

If you have sensitive right click preferences look elsewhere. The right mouse button on the G502 is a hair trigger.
It is good for gaming, but you'll trigger it a lot at first when just browsing your desktop.
Seconded. I own multiple of this between work and home computers. Easily my all time favorite mouse.
I've had two G502s. One had the double click problem and the other I bought used but has lasted me a long time so I don't know. The experiences I had with Logitech keyboards has made me never want to buy from them again.
