Since many people are claiming that small noises are a pain, Logitech set out to design mices which are about 10dB less clicky than the usual ones.
At around 25dB, the M220 Silent/M330 Silent Plus are probably near the noise floor of most office spaces, and surprisingly not a premium product (under US$30).
That doesn't sound like a bad thing for people with small places and light-sleeping partners either. Are Soylentils really bothered by Joe-the-spreadsheet-clicker, or do you believe in counter-offensive?

Oh really, and when was the last time you needed to clean your mouseball? Never, that's when, because optical mice don't have any mouseballs.
The microswitch is an unnecessary component of a touch mouse. If it were designed properly, it wouldn't have a microswitch that needed fixing.

three ballless mice, three ballless mice
see how they cursor, see how they cursor,
they all ran after the nerd's wife,
who cut off their USB tails with a carving knife,
did you ever see such a sight in your life as
three ballless mice

Actually..
With ball-mice I cleaned them once a year (as with my keyboards) but with optical I need to de-hair the slit near the led/receptor pair roughly every second month.
I can only imagine what it must be like for people with cats
