i can see the appeal, but it's also a mouse, so i would rather it just not be built like shit from the get go, but that's me.

That or be built and designed to be repairable, that way i can fix it, or someone near me could fix it for me, something like that is also acceptable. I'd be curious whether the shipping and man hours prior to and post to fixing the mouse would actually incur more cost and waste than just, deleting it from existence.
