They’re talking about a Trackball mouse e.g., not the pre laser mice (or they’re nuts). Good ergonomics, useful for carpal tunnel etc.
FWIW I’ve found their high-end mice pretty robust, my MX Master 2 is still going strong 5+ years in, if cosmetically challenged. Amortised over time, the price is not so bad.
I find anything with that coated plastic over time gets crappy. I still have an old X52 pro I've had for probably around 15 years now. In the end I just completely took off the flaking rubber style coating they put over it and it's now shiny plastic and still going strong.
I also have a G502 that's 6 years old. It has some worn areas where it's actively held and on the buttons. I replaced the skates last year and have a spare set. Otherwise, still going strong.
Really not sure why I'd subscribe for something that lasts so long and isn't THAT expensive to replace.
