My mouse left button is getting real flakey. I took the whole thing

guess that switch is going bad. There dont seem to be any place to get
some contact cleaner inside of it.

Have any of you ever found a way to repair these switches?

Yea, I know computer mice are cheap, but I need a PS/2 connector and
want a ball mouse. I dont like the infared mice, and can not use a USB
mouse on my Windows 98 computer.

So, I have to order this on ebay since all the ones in the stores are
USB and infared these days.

So, until I can get one from ebay, is there any temporary fix? (The
other mouse functions work fine).

I have replaced some of those switches in a few mice.
The electronic lab had them in stock.
So somebody is selling them.


Couple of years ago I looked at the several boxes of mice and decided enough
is enough.

most of the switches got used on E-cigarettes.
