Logitech mice can still be decent if you're comfortable with opening it up and replacing or doing maintenance on the button switches. Had to do my G900 after owning it for about 4 years (though that was with several months of noticing the left button was going before doing something about it). It was a similar story with my G7 20 years ago.

Though using better switches in the first place would have only added dollars to the cost. It's ridiculous that a 3 figure mouse doesn't come with high quality switches.

Razor hardware can be ok (I really like my wireless headphones from them), but their software sucks. And I once bought a razor mouse when my old one died and that same day decided to buy another new mouse and keep the razor one as a backup. The scroll wheel was both loud and would skip some turns.

Their software is even worse. It had an auto update and for some reason always had an update any time I restarted, but would still frequently just "lose" the devices it was supposed to control. The devices would still be working fine, you just can't go into the software to adjust any of the settings for them, which meant all it was going was showing ads (because of course it had ads; business majors just can't stand something having attention without trying to use it to sell more shit or something).

Read customer reviews for pretty much any device from a known brand or not. Focus on the distribution of ratings and what the 2-4 star ratings say to reduce the number of fake reviews. There are unknown gems out there (I mean, a mouse or keyboard isn't a very complicated piece of technology and can be done well for cheap), and we're also deep in the age of enshitification and planned obsolescence.
