I'm half burried in failed logitech mice and I think I've about had it with the company. The mice are ideally designed for me but lack severely in construction. Any recommendations of which companies tend to produce well built and durable mice?

What are you doing with your mice to cause such high failure rates? I haven't had any failures with any of the Logitech mice I've used. My MX518 had some small issue with the left click getting stuck because I banged the mouse on the table in frustration so many times, but it still works ok.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
That's indeed strange. I have ever had three Logitech mice. The first I bought in mid 90's, a fancy (yes, back then) three buttoned one. It was replaced ages later, when the optical mice started to become the mainstream, with Dual Optical. I used it for great many years as well, until I got my current mouse, Mx518. Three Logitechs to span 15 years. I don't know how much more durable one can realistically want a mouse to be.
I wish I knew, then I could stop doing it. Right now, the answer seems to be "using the mouse" which is why I'm considering the switch. I used to slam my mice down when I started doing arenas in WoW, but I'm not even considering those. Right now it's my g500 that's failing with an alternately unresponsive/hyper responsive left click in less than a year of use. Before that, a g700 had 3 of the 4 thumb buttons break off and fall out of the side of the mouse. Before that, it was a slew of mx518s, most of which had the clicking issues on the left and/or right mouse buttons. I did have 2 mx518s that lasted awhile with no problems, but those I either slammed to hell or put through a monitor.

Haha I thought it was just me who was dumb enough to destroy his own peripherals to avenge in-game defeats. I've ruined a couple keyboards in the same manner.
I guess gaming a lot will shorten the life of the mouse. I always thought game designers made you rapidly press a button in-game so you would wear out your controller/mouse/kb faster.

Once I had a wireless keyboard stop functioning for a few seconds while I was playing a game. It regularly did that, but not at critical moments.
I broke it in half.
Peace.
lol .
Well, they're not actually that bad.
They can get interference problems, but for the most part that their convenience balances that up. (as long as you get that interference problem sorted out soon enough)
My brother had to put his wireless receiver on the front USB port of his case instead of the back, and he's not had any problems since.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I stopped using wireless keyboards for gaming because they would hiccup and lag and piss me off to the point I'd hammerfist them into oblivion. I only use wired keyboards and mice for gaming now. I consider them tethered so less likely to end up across the room or smashed through my monitor.

I stopped using wireless (or even fancy) keyboards for two reasons:
1) The batteries always abruptly die. Sometimes during a game, sometimes when writing a post, or while you're trying to chat. It's always at the worst possible time too.
2) They can't go in the dishwasher like most regular ones can.
