The mouse I keep repairing is a cheap basic Logitech.

I've dirtied my other computer with a cheap Microsoft mouse that seems
quite good, other than the chunkiness of the mouse wheel rotation.

Unfortunately around here, if I want to go out to a shop and buy a
mouse, my choices seem to be stupidly expensive gamer's mice covered in
buttons, or weird cheapo brands that look like they're made of horrible
cheap plastic.
