The quality of the switches in logitech product in the past few years has become laughable. I am currently using a 8 years old 502 because the newer one I got broke after nine months...

I went through multiple Logitech Anywhere MX mice (two at work, one at home) because the switches they use have a short throw and the part of the top shell that pushes on them is a small sliver that gets indented over time. Once the indent is large enough, it's impossible to keep the switch depressed. libinput can help deal with switch bounce, but it doesn't help with momentary releases that screw up click-and-drag operations.

Now at work I use a cheap Dell wired mouse that works perfectly, and at home I have a Razer Deathadder Elite (or is it the pro X ultimate creator edition RGB plus max turbo..), and aside from being a little goofy-gamer-y, it works great too.
