Mouse material vs Dirt buildup

Hey everyone,

I come here looking for a solution to dirt buildup on gaming mice. Long story short, my hands tend to get really sweaty while gaming, therefore I end up having to clean my mouse at least once a day from dirt buildup.

Before you mention it, I wash my hands every 30min - 1hr in order to try to prevent it, but it doesn't have great effect. Most mice I've gone through have had this issue, except for one: Steelseries Rival 600. The material of the clicks is very smooth, therefore there is almost no dirt buildup whatsoever and I have to clean it once a month at most.

The problem with the Rival 600 model is that it has a design flaw that causes clicks to stop working correctly after around an year of usage, I'm on my third Rival 600 already and I am currently looking for a mouse which is made out of the same smooth plastic material that prevents dirt buildup.

Obviously, I'm no expert here unfortunately, so I figured I'd ask the mouse gurus if anyone knows some models which are made out of the said material. I've also uploaded a few pics of the Rival 600 for you to get an idea.
