Well, I hear the mouse offering by Konyo is essentially a Microsoft mouse,
and the MS mice are very durable (can anyone confirm/deny the Konyo=MS mouse
statement?).  You could also hack a Microsoft Mouse (bus version) to work with
the ST.  I intend to do this if my ST one ever dies.  If you did not know,
the Atari mouse design changed (at least) once, the new one has nice big teflon
sleeves on the rollers.  I have one of these, and it has worked great for  
over 2 years (of HEAVY use).
