Almost every professional gaming competitor these days uses a wireless mouse, and I can’t imagine they would be using them if wired mice actually gave a competitive edge.

idk how much they are now. both amazon and their websites are the same price, unless there is a sale going on the website.

This is not true these days
Wireless mice have such low latency these days that eSports pros will use them in competitions where million$ are on the line.

I feel like the solution here is to go wireless
Most wireless mice have a detachable cable and work wired. So even once the internal battery dies, you can just use it wired forever
But bewarned if this mouse is used for gaming, no mouse is buy it for life. They have moving parts that wear down, even stuff you don't think about like the mouse feet wear down. I'd suggest jyst buying cheaper mice with the expectation they last 5 to 10 years.

But having a cable attached is also a source of lag/load, a physical one and actually noticeable at that.

A lot of wireless mouses have a little Bluetooth USB plug.

Are you using Bluetooth or the receiver dongle with 2.4Ghz? I find that Bluetooth tends to get flakey but the 2.4Ghz connection works much better

I think getting a mouse that best suits your usage and ergonomics is the place to start. As others mentioned, wireless mice should probably still be considered if it has a usb dongle, and especially if it allows usage while plugged in via the charging cable (making that part replaceable). I use Logitech G502 light speed, the MX Master 3 and a Razer Naga Pro. I can say all are reasonably well built and unlikely to wear excessively. MX Master is probably my recommendation knowing you aren’t looking to play video games.

Get a cable bungee for your favorite wired mouse. Put felt or something on sharp edges where your wire hangs. Thank me later

yeah, I did love the mouse tho, I used mine for probably at least ~400 days worth of gameplay on runescape so it definitely took a beating :///

I also got the double click issue and read a solution online: bang it on your desk. Sure enough, it worked!
But yeah, time will tell if that’s a BIFL solution.

Redragon makes extremely solid peripherals. I have a wired keyboard and mouse from them and love them both. They have braided cables. Really solid stuff for the money. Really hard to beat.

Interesting, maybe I got lucky. My scroll wheel works great, I use it a lot too. I work in finance scrolling through excel 24/7 lol

Best way to keep something from fraying is not having anything to fray. Wireless receiver mouse like that one guy said

I miss my g403, but its scroll wheel started messing up, and then i found out that it’s not an uncommon issue with it so RIP :’(

I bought 12 wired ones from Amazon for my company for $25 total. You’ll be set forever

You might want to look into what is causing the wire to fray.
I'm currently using a wired mouse from the late 90s.

Check out Blue Air 121 at Costco. Around $250ish and if I’m remember right it’s one of the best or the best performing filter per dollar by Consumer Reports. Also super simple design so I’m hopeful it will last forever. If not, it goes back to Costco.

I have the Logitech G403. Bought in 2016, if Im a huge gamer geek and use it constantly. I also wfh now and use it.
If I had to put hours used on it I’d assume between 9000-10000 so far. Literally not a single scratch on it and not worn down where I hold it. Lights still work and cord isn’t frayed.
I also have two cats that sometimes play with it. Not rough cuz I move them, but enough that I’m surprised the cord is good. I’ve moved 4 times since owning it too (college dorms and now to a house).
It’s a beast

The fraying has to be the surface or pathway the cable is taking. In all my years of IT can't say I have ever seen a mouse fail due to a frayed cable without a pet chewing on it.
