Are lightweight mice less durable?

Not necessarily. Modern lightweight mice achieve low weights through engineering (honeycomb shells, optimized internals) rather than cutting corners on durability.

Do I need to change my sensitivity for a lighter mouse?

Some players lower their sensitivity slightly with lighter mice. The reduced weight makes fast movements easier, so you may want more control.
