Oh no, Monoprice is disposable as shit. Which is fine.

Also, you effectively paid $112.27 for it if it lasted six years, the 12 dollars coming from inflation. That's roughly 18 a year, compared to the Monoprice mouse at 13.97, which inludes shipping. So if you buy it all at once, you can get 8 years of gaming mice for less than 100$, something like 85$ and change.

Yes the mouse will be worse. Will it be 10% of the mouse yours is? No, of course not. It'll probably be 50% as good. It'll still function, just really cheaply. It won't have weighted anything. The paint will come off. But for 11.40 I don't care if I can trust it or not. I wouldn't have to save for it, and that's what matters more to me.
