I wondered if he had speeded his voice up like some of the video, so I played it at 75% speed. It didn't sound normal so I don't think he had speeded it up, but at least it was now slow enough for my brain to keep up.

Uhhh, every 6 months?!
Are his hands made out of concrete or something? Or is he buying his mice out of a $2 bin at the local grocery store?
I'm replacing mice every 5 to 10 years.

He's a gamer.
Also, you are lucky that yours are lasting 5 - 10 years.
I've had some that the buttons last 1 year on and they've had little use.
I think it's possible that there was a huge batch of really bad switches that were used in mouses (mice) for a while and if you bought during that time you got ones that lasted very short time.
I have some trackball mice (logitech) have lasted 30 years of daily use. It's crazy!

Gamers would use gaming controllers, rather than mice, isn't it?

Not PC gamers, on certain games a mouse is far more useful and there are those advanced programmable mice like Razer Basilisk V3 Customizable Ergonomic Gaming Mouse: Fastest Gaming Mouse Switch - Chroma RGB Lighting - 26K DPI Optical Sensor -Classic Black[^]
Here's the one the video creator uses I think, Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac
[^]
There are numerous gaming mice.

Gamer? So am I.
My current mouse is a Corsair Ironclaw, with 3 years of hammering on it. No problems.

Yeah, as I said I think there was a batch of bad switches (used for buttons in mouse devices) which were used in a big span of products, because there are many others who've mentioned this issue too.
I had bought a brand new logitech (portable/wireless) (logitech trackball m570[^]) that I had only used rarely with my other laptop and only used it at home (didn't get lugged around and banged around) but the buttons lasted less than one year. I would take it apart and clean it and it would work for 1 week then stop clicking unless I clicked it twice or slapped it hard.
I was afraid but I bought another of the exact ones again but this time I made sure I bought it at a local store (Target) and I've been using this one for over 2 years now and it still works great.
(I'm on my laptop now and using it.)
Also, it is possible that buying some items online actually gets us consumers pointed to "exact" counterfeit products -- listed as logitech but is some other company churning out garbage. I always wonder about that.

I am a software dev / "engineer" so I do not understand jokes, so I will now answer this question seriously.
I use trackballs and my balls stay clean so I can happily report that my balls have lasted for a very long time.

Do you do like me and pop them in your mouth to clean them?
So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

That's cool. I might've been in those discussions. I sure eat mice. But I bet I use them enough that UL could rent me as durability test equipment.

Recently, I may have replaced the need for licensing a bit of software with DIY/FOSS because it just didn't make sense to me the cost for what it does.
This guy builds a mouse because the manufacturers seem to suck.
AI is supposed to empower people to do things.
Maybe a silver lining is that quality:price improves because it must?
A competitor can chatgpt+yt how to manufacture mice and probably start to put you out of business almost literally overnight.

At least he didn't have to live through the era of the weekly de-fluff of mouse balls.

Yes, I've had the "error page error" page, complete with disturbing 3D-rendered Bob, several times so far this morning.
