Biggest issue I have with Corsair mice is how long they last. I love my mouse, but the switches broke on the first one within 8 months. The second has some tearing issues on the right side rubber. No idea how long the clickers will last. Still, I really do like their software and stylings.

Switches are the same omron as used in a lot of mice? The switches on the new scimitar seems to have longer durability.
As for rubber and coating, kinda most mice, especially those aimed at gaming, got something on the cheap going on.
Think the mouse with the best surface I had so far is a TT Level 10 M Advanced, only using a Claive atm. to have controll via one piece of software, but really tempted to go back to the TT.

Honestly, their entire software lineup as changed. Their Cue software is really good now, and I have had no issues like you describe. Longevity issues are for all mice basically. They all make these things cheap. I was not really adding into the Corsair hate here, and I don't really understand it either. They have a really nice line of products. I question longevity on all mice.

Yes, longevity does affect many mouse companies, and it's possible they build a certain amount of planned obsolescence into their products (ie designed to fail within say 3-5yrs). My Logitech G303 had double click issues after about 1.5yrs, but Logitech did offer me a replacement of equal value and that's when I got the G Pro from them...in my eyes Logitech are still a fantastic company. The G Pro was still going strong with zero issues apart from replacing the mouse feet due to wear (expected), and I used that for at least 2 yrs...now I'm on the Glorious Model O which is really the best mouse I've ever used and there are reports of the cable failing but since the initial launch they have changed the cable and made the weave tighter to increase the endurance. I play high sensitivity so I'm not hard on my mice, so I'm actually expecting zero cable problems with this updated cable on the Glorious Model O.

Corsair I'm not a fan of, due not only to the randomly changing mouse sensitivity of my last Corsair mouse, but when I contacted them re a warranty replacement they wanted me to mess about sending the mouse back to them (I was either gonna have to organise the shipping myself or pay for it, something along those lines), it was too much hassle and I didn't really like the mouse anyway so I just ditched them in my mind as a company and as a quality mouse supplier. Logitech was a fantastic experience on all fronts though, glad I ditched Corsair.

I mean I really don't know why, Corsair has some great products in a variety of levels.

What products? I have never seen any that works as expected yet?
