I had a Razer Diamondback for like 20 years, and let me tell you, the insides of that were not a pretty sight when I took it apart to work out why the mouse wheel was glitchy. Two decades of crumbs and pubes and assorted hand gunk.
Plus the rubber tends to get a bit tacky after a while, and I’m not sure of a good way to clean that.
I think ten years is a decent lifespan for something I use all the time like that. More is a bonus, but I’m happy to replace after that time.
Mice seem to be a stagnant tech, not sure I need another one for the rest of my life… if I could fix middle wheel click and replace parts like the rubber side that has worn away.
Cleaning is maintenance, a part of repair in my eyes 😊
Make it repairable if you want it to last forever.
I think cleanable is more important.

That was specifically one of the goals talked about in the actual interview and the CEO spent a lot more time on that than the topic in the headline.
