I need a mouse that will work for general use and last for a while but needs to be as cheap as possible.

 

I'm not worried about build quality but just want it to last a while.

 

Any suggestions?

My Logitech M500 is a great general purpose mouse and is very cheap. No issues with it after a year except for on an old PC with Windows 8.1. Didn't have the same problem on other PCs with 8.1 and on the same PC with Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

What's the absolute maximum you're willing to spend on the mouse?

This has been lasting me since March two years ago as my daily driver - no particular problems: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet%C2%AE-Wireless-Buttons-Adjustment-Levels-Grey/dp/B001DHECXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433885832&sr=8-1&keywords=tecknet+mouse

 

No clue if you'd deem it good or not.

Sig under construction.

Hey this is a hard question. How long a time frame are we talking. 1 month, 3 month. ect and also how much are you willing to pay. Also how much are you going to use it.

 

I can get a more expensive one in a few months so around 3. About £5 is best and it'll only be for work and internet at various points during the day so not a lot
