"lazier out of adjustment"
Optical mice do not use infrared Lasers, they use photodiodes and LED's.
And something does not have to have a moving part for it to fail. CPUs, Motherboards (other than cooling fans on the chipsets and such), RAM modules, flash drives, and various other parts of your computer don't have moving parts either, and each has failed at some time or another for many people for a myriad of reasons.
There could be some sort of short somewhere on the internal circuits, water/moisture damage, problem with the USB or PS/2 cable, something out of spec during manufacturing, etc. Too hard to answer without actually looking at the device.

let me develop this: "The moving part IS the mouse!"
if the mouse is not wireless, just moving it bends the cable and there is no cable that can last forever... also, electronic devices (such as your mouse) are more or less sensitive to mechanical shocks.
