Better mouse for Pro-E?

Better mouse for Pro-E?

Better mouse for Pro-E?

(OP)
Recently, I've been going thru mice. Mostly logitech, but have also gone thru a Microsoft. The middle mouse button has pretty much quit working on each of them. Are there any more robust, durable mice out there?
Seems they just don't make them like they used to.
I use the typical 3 buttons, Select, right click, anc middle mouse button for rotating, and "enter", but have never been successful programming the 4th and 5th buttons on 5 button mice.
Also have never really gotten attached to the 3D spaceballs, motion controllers, etc... I'm pretty efficient with just the mouse and keyboard.
I searched and found a closed thread that was last posted to in 2008, and noted a couple mice mentioned there, but i'm sure there's some new ones out there.
