Mice break all the time, usually the wheel or a button. Even expensive ones.

Usually because of dust and years of filth from your hands. You have to clean your mouse and wash your hands after visiting the shitter. A more common problem is driver related issues, unplug and plug it in again or reinstall the broken driver. Also don't use wireless, their battery will only last for ~5-10 years on average.

I've been using mice since when you needed a special mouse mat, to trackballs, to ball mice, to optical.

But thanks for the advice

I have a box of trackball mice, none of them are broken, they're just not as accurate as laser mouse. Mousemats are still a good thing to have for better accuracy, keep that one clean as well.

I'm talking about the sort of mousemat which has a special foil grid and the mouse didn't work without it

Yep, I have one of those too, still works surprisingly. They don't make them like they used to. But on the other hand, it's very hard to add (((planned obsolesce))) to a mouse or a mousemat.
