I've repaired this worthless older generation Logitech G Hero mouse 5 times in two years, but after its most recent cleaning the 5 pin cable molex snapped and I feel absolutely no desire to keep this creature alive for another moment.

I had a similar cable failure on a Logitech keyboard awhile back, which admittedly I did fix and do plan to keep around because it's hard to find a mechanical keyboard with an aluminium body and also NOT completely covered to the teeth with rainbow LEDs.

Can anybody recommend me a good durable mouse, preferably not aimed at gamers?

I can't speak to long-term reliability, but this open source design is designed to be repairable: https://ploopy.co/mouse/

It's cool, do they plan to at some point sell just the internals?

That'd be cool but I'm fine with buying the entire thing as they deserve it, but even more cool would be a cordless option.
