if your just looking for a basic 3 button mouse then i have found the logitech optical wired mouse is the most reliable.
it last forever without breaking no matter how hard i mash the buttons and drop it or bang it around and its very cheap but made with quality.
you can spend a whole lot more but IMO you cant get a better basic mouse
