ESR - Mice keep breaking =( ? (a bit of rage)

I've owned 4 mice during my gaming career, two of which broke (MX518 and DA) kind of easily and two of them are still working fine (EC1 evo and IME3). So yes it's not uncommon that mice break, but it seems like that the mice which use drivers tend to break more easily or at least have some problems.

Well the kana broke in less than two months and the sensei worked for less than a year. That is a little different then the 5 years the deathadder lasted. I am referring more to the how long they last. I would like to get a mouse I could at least get one year out of. I have a ime 3.0 but it seems to have a low malfunction rate which is not being helped by my multicolored mouse pad. I also have it overclocked which helps a lot but again the malfunction speed is pretty low.

I was going to get a zowie, But I have read they don't work well at anything but 2300dpi. The smoothing delay is something I really don't like. I have a 144hz moniter and it really bugs me when I see the mouse not being able to keep up with the refresh rate. I have tested some of my friends mice that have a delay and I can deal with a little delay. For example the deathadder 2013 has a some delay but it isn't as bad as the rival with the old firmware or some other mice I have tried with high dpi. But anyway I will more than likely try a zowie mouse soon.

As old and washed up as this answer may seem, the only mouse with truly zero delay was WMO for me

I was just stating that there was a bit of anger behind writing this. I mean 2 mice and they both broke in less than a year and another was skipping. I am not sure if the skipping is from the mouse breaking or if the sensor is just so bad that it can't track on multicolored mouse pads. I mean the sensor should be fine it is the newest optical sensor. But I guess new doesn't always mean better so I don't know. I am just using ime 3.0 for now. I needed to turn my sensitivity up so I wouldn't hit the malfunction rate.

Yes, SteelSeries and Razer are both guilty of poor production value by design.

Does anyone know of any mice without delay that I could get besides the wmo? I don't want to get a wmo because the malfunction speed is just a bit to low for me.

I have tried that and it does help a lot but I would also rather not use accel.
