It only cost me return postage to try, since I bought it on Amazon with free shipping. :P

But I agree that it is annoying having to order it, wait for it to arrive, try it out, be disappointed, and send it back. Also seems silly to spend $50-100 for a fancy gaming mouse when I really don't need any of their special features, they just happen to be the only ones that come in "ambidextrous shape with more than 2 buttons" models.

I bought 3. All were marked as "Like New" or "Very Good" from third-party sellers on Amazon. If they all work, that should keep me stocked up until mice are no longer a thing. The one I bought (new) in 2002 would probably still be just fine if I took it apart and cleaned out whatever is making one of the buttons sticky, but I'm not exactly sure how to take it apart (no screws or apparent snap-together points) so I haven't tried.
