Anyone use these? Most or even all my toilets are at least partially side mount. The three that ever get used are fully side mount.

Problem is that handles don’t seem to last more than 2-3 years. They usually fail to reset themselves, even ones that barely get used. I usually get the fancy looking ones from big box stores. Is there a better product or hack?

I've started using the Fluidmaster Universal fit after my original Toto wore out. kind of like putting together an erector set. you just have to find the right angles for all the pieces

the side mount definitely adds a level of complexity

Ya I’m guessing shape adds a side load and not like the handles have thrust bearings, or maybe some do?

Swap it to a push button. I'm definitely doing this next time mine breaks.
They make them with your choice of lever or button.
