A few months ago, my red laptop's left mouse button was having issues clicking. Unfortunately, this is the same one I use for fanfiction, fanart and video projects, as my other laptop is used primarily for gaming and emulators.
This summer, it became obvious that the left mouse button was practically crumbling underneath the shell, and eventually, one morning, it pressed down and never came back up, so I slammed the power button to turn it off. We ended up having to take the cover off the mouse button and actually remove the button itself. As a result, we had to make adjustments to the mouse driver, and this laptop has forever lost the ability to do click and drags with the left button, and I have to tap down on the touchpad for a left click.
My new laptop has a touchpad that I don't like, and I'm already using a wireless mouse for that one. Sadly, though, in recent days, my old laptop's right mouse button has started to show signs of wear, too, and I'm afraid that the laptop I've been using these past 3 1/2 years for writing stories and making artwork may soon become subject to permanent use of a wireless mouse.
