This, too often I've heard the SoGA misquoted and important parts omitted to suit circumstances.

And you are right, try getting a independent report saying a button that is clicked thousands of times a week is a inherent fault and I have a boat to sell you.

And how about a car that is driven tens of thousands of miles each year or a TV that is on for a few hundred hours each month?

Just as the items listed above are designed and built to be used for the periods specified, so a button on a computer mouse is also designed to be used thousands of times without going faulty.
If this wasn't the case, surely there would be far more instances of mouse buttons failing simply because they had been "clicked thousands of times"

I have owned eight or nine laptops, all of which I have probably used a lot more than the average person would use theirs, yet I've never once had a mouse button fail on any of them.

If there is no indication of damage or misuse to the mouse buttons then I don't see how a failure can be due to anything other than an inherrent manufacturing defect.
