Yea, somewhat disappointing. My mx 3s mouse has problems with the click switches and the mouse isn’t all that old. I’ve also read about others with the problem. I would also like to be able to buy a replacement case for when the rubber starts to come apart. Has not happened on this mouse yet but on all other rubberized mice I’ve had.
Replacement key caps for my keyboards would also be nice.
The bouncing on contact switches becomes excessive over time with corrosion and leads to double clicks. Luckily optical button switches are showing up on a lot of mice, and they don't have have to use debouncing, so the problem is non-existent for them.
Logitech has a couple with optical switches, but most of their line is still traditional. I've been using the wired G502 X, which is pretty decent, and there's also a wireless version.
Roccat is mostly optical, Razer is moving that direction, and Steelseries also has a few under the "Prime" name.
They were pretty lame before the purchase as well. Its just gotten worse. Replacement parts would be a godsend, going by youtube most of their failures seem to be isolated to 1-2 poorly engineered parts anyway.
