I'm very particular about mice for programming uses. I seem to wear them out pretty fast. My prior favorite was the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical but sadly these are no longer made and the new version feels really cheap and there are lots of reports of the switches and wheel failing in short time.
My second favorite is the old Lenovo optical mouse. These are no longer made either.
I don't like wireless mice because of the landfill implications of disposable batteries.
So it seems that the only high quality mice nowadays are all focused on gaming. After doing some research I came upon the Asus ROG Gordius III. It's a gaming mouse but features high quality switches and a nice, ergonomic design.
After using it for some time I really like it. Very high quality feel, great tactile response. Slides effortlessly on my mouse pad and isn't too heavy nor too light.
Will have to see how it holds up but so far I give it five stars and the CC "Highly Recommended" award.
