I only bought a gaming mouse once. It was a nice mouse (I still have it here somewhere as a backup) but the scroll stoped working. Besides, I only ever used the extra buttons to replace the scroll function when it broke, so the next mouses were common ones XD

I realy hate mouses with decorative lights. They serve no real purporse and just make the device more expensive. I accidentaly bought one once (back when I didn't know decorative lights for mouses were a thing) and it got me so mad I went to the store that sold it to trade it for another mouse, and a few other goods to cover the price difference.

My current mouse mouse is a silent mouse. It doesn't make that typical clicking noise. It was kind of disturbing in the 1st week, but if I'd convert the price to dollars, it costed like 7 (the cheapest I've ever bought) and is a very good mouse, so I'm not complaining (besides, I got used to this quirk already).

I also got a PS2 mouse for free once, because computers that can use it are a rarity now and my computer just so happens to be able to use it. The plastic surrounding it (I forgot the name of that thing products are encased in) was already yellow and snappy and the shopkeeper just gave it to me as a bonus after upgrading and cleaning my computer. Sadly, the mouse's driver was installed via floppy disc, wich my computer can't natively run, not to mention it was a wireless mouse that required batteries to work, and i'd need to change those eventualy. But hey, free stuff! And since I happened to know a person who has a desktop that is even older than mine and can run floppy discs, so I just passed the mouse to them.
