My Razer Orochi mouse which I bought in Mid-2011 has started to die. The scroll wheel has been skipping and occasionally going in the wrong directions for a few months now. The side buttons I used as an alternative are starting to miss clicks and skipping. The exterior of the mouse itself is worn and torn. The RMB and LMB are still as good as new and so is the sensor. 24 months isn't bad for a mouse (considering my Mx500 and mx1000 lasted for less than 3 months each), but I normally expect expensive peripherals to last much longer.
I bought a Deathadder 2013 as a replacement, but I it has the same coating--won't last very long in my sweaty palms.
What sort of lifespan do expensive peripherals have? I bought a mechanical keyboard a year ago and it's still as good as new. My Sennheiser 555s are going strong 7 years. Laser printer has exceeded 10 years but it needs repairs.
