Reply to WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce

I’ve been using a Razer Naga 2014 as my daily driver. Hours of heavy duty gaming 7 days/wk, cord has been abused and holds up well.

Most office mice are not built to stand up to abuse the way high quality gaming mice are.

The Razer Naga Trinity might suit you, or another one of their options. I believe all of them have wired and wireless variants.

Remember that technology is rarely BIFL, especially if you don’t take proper care of it. But my Razer Naga is still going STRONG after 9 years of ABUSE.

I love the 502 but the first one I had ended up getting an issue where it would double click somewhat randomly after about 3 years. I liked it enough that I bought a new wireless 502 to replace it but wouldn't call it buy it for life.

100% and the same mouse works just fine connected to any other computer too, but of all my machines it has a problem with the powerful one.

I had my ‘99 4Runner for 15 years and a little over 300k miles before it gave out and the cost to fix wasn’t worth it at that point. I miss it dearly, and every once in a while I check my local buy/sell sites to see if one is selling my price range. I’d get another in a heartbeat 🥲

That problem is unique to your mouse/workstation. I use wireless mice on my laptop all the time and never have issues like that.

I have a workstation and a logitech wireless mouse often stutters across the screen to the point of unusability. Wired mouse plugged in, zero problems.

I'm not sure if it's due to the specific receiver or a motherboard/ builtin usb hub incompatibility problem - but it's the only computer I have problems with. It happens when booted in Windows and Linux.

A very powerful computer struggling with the bare minimum

I use the same and it's been in use for a while, I don't think they even make them the same anymore. I tried one of the newer ones and the side buttons were hard to push because they were recessed

I use the wired mouse that came with my HP desktop some years ago. Fraying? No idea what you mean. They're encased in soft plastic, that stuff doesn't fray.

The mouse I use with my old computer from 2008 is the same, will never fray.

WTH kind of mouses have you been buying?

I'm not sure this is a wired mouse anymore. It looks like the old version could be used both ways but the current model logotech sells is wireless only, but can charge while you use.
