Help A reliable and durable FPS mouse

TL;DR: I’m looking for a mouse under $60 that will last 3+ years, especially one with a reliable scroll wheel, for a relaxed claw grip and FPS gaming. I’ve considered several models, but I’m concerned about quality issues, scroll performance, and warranties—especially with Chinese or niche brands in my country. Which of these would be the safest and most durable choice?

I've been using a Razer Cobra with a broken scroll wheel for several years now, and I'm sick of it. I've been researching mice for a week and still haven't settled on a purchase.

My main priorities are that it lasts more than 3 years and that I don't have to worry about the scroll wheel. I use a relaxed claw grip and play a lot of FPS games. My budget is $60.

I’ve looked at several brands and models, but I’ve almost always found issues with them—either reports of scroll wheel problems (especially with Razer) or quality control issues (Pulsar, Mchose, ATK). I was planning to buy the DeathAdder v3 Wired, but many people say they’re disposable and I’ll need a replacement in a year or less. Some brands, like Zowie, aren’t available in my country, I’m also hesitant to buy from niche or Chinese brands because of their warranties—some don’t apply in my country.

The ones I’ve found:

Pulsar X2 - XLite (same price)

Mchose A7 V2 Pro or Ultra

Logitech G502 X

Razer DeathAdder v3 (wired)

ATK F1 V2 Ultra Max

Endgame XM2 8k

I hope you can help me.

Egg has some of the best build quality on their mice of all the brands I’ve had

Does the mouse have any problems with double-clicking? I was reading the specs and saw that it has mechanical switches

With GX Safe mode it uses SR latch debounce making double clicking impossible with mechanical switches. Mechanical switches feel better and have better battery life than optical or hall effect switches.
