Stop buying contact encoder trash and get a mouse with an optomechanical wheel. Especially stay away from Razer, shit failed me after a month, I've had better $10 noname mice than that.
When replacing it I asked the guy in the store to open all the mouse boxes for me and let me try the wheels one by one. Picrel stood out as it felt just like my ancient 2002 logitech optical that recently fell apart on me, and sure enough, it's the same type of wheel. I've been abusing it for over 2 years and it's still solid. In any case, just do what I did. If you feel the distinct click of a metal spring when you turn the wheel, that's a mouse you can trust. Once you've had an optical wheel you can easily tell, in fact, once upon a time all mice had that type of sensor. (ball mice used an identical sensor for the rollers and wheel, contact rotaries were completely unheard of)
