I had an Intellimouse Explorer for about 2.5 years until the left button started double-clicking when I only clicked once. I have since moved to:
Which has been working just fine. Fits into my hand really well too.

I have the same Logitech mouse and have had no problems with it at all. I do like that mouse that Buro posted though.

I've broken more PC peripherals than I can count. I end up spilling something on them and they stop working. I've been through two or three keyboards since last summer. Mouses, however, I usually can avoid damaging for a long time. I've had a $15 Logitech optical mouse for at least a little over a year, now.
If I don't break my mouse or keyboard, I'll usually get tired of it after a while and go out and buy something a little swankier.

I'm using the "MS Intellimouse" that came with my PC about 3 or 4 years ago, and it hasn't given me any problems yet.
I still prefer ball mice over optical, simply because I like the more visceral feel of it. I play a lot of FPS, and I realize that optical mice have a LOT more precision, but I just like the feel of ball mice on the pad. Meh.

Here's my $10 Illuminated Blue Optical Mouse:
(Three-Button Wheel)
I have this is 3 colors: red, blue, green. Currently using the blue one seen above. Nice as it matches the blue lights on my laptop.

I had a MS Wheel mouse but it broke when I moved a few years ago.
Now I just use the built-in "eraser" mouse in the middle of my laptop keyboard. My Dell has both a motion-sensor mouse and an eraser, but I can't stand the motion-sensor: its too slow and limited in movement. I'm amazed at how versitle the eraser mouse is.
Not like a stand-alone mouse, but a worthy non-gaming mouse.

Um... The same mouse that came with my never updated Compaq CD from 1999.
Speaking of, someone fix my CDRW drive.

I have the same Apple Optical Mouse that came with my machine on November 2002.
I kept saying I would buy the Logitech or Microsoft three-button scroll optical, but got used to my current setup and stuck with it.
Interesting topic, since I remember when my family first got our computer, my parents always bought the shittiest peripherals. When I got older and standard doing the PC work, they had me buy everything.
Since I bought my Mac, they have reverted and buy shitty peripherals again (cheap no-name stuff that always seems to stick and break down.)
Gives me a good reason to tease them.

I have the IntelliMouse Trackball, PS/2 version on the main computer. My Grandma had it for a while before I did (two years at least) and since that I've had it for at least three years. Sometimes it gets weird in its movements and that's when I have to open up the ball area and clean off all the black gunk that builds up on the little rubber "rollers" that the ball touches (doesn't happen more than once a year).
On my mom's computer (which my brother and I use sometimes (it's in the room with the cabinet)) we have the Logitech Merble Mouse USB. I think it's optical but I'm not sure. It's been around for about a year and a half.
Downstairs on the laptop (Thinkpad 600) there's a normal Eraser Head. It needs a new "cap" (all the traction deelies are worn off) and sometimes it "drifts" (a common problem, so I've heard). It gets the job done though.

Uhh, mine is grey, with a little ball inside it. It probably needs cleaned.
Geez, that sentence could sound really wierd if I wasn't talking about a mouse.
