Sorry for the hiccup. The machine crashed and the scripts must have
still
run. I don't use a newsreader... it's just vi with telnet scripts.
Mea culpa.
BTW, if the OP needs pictures, I have plenty of my IBM mouse
refurbish.

The micro switches are quite large compared to now, Is that a Pot
sticking up where the wheel should be?
Â*or is it an actuator for the center button?

The IBM mouse above, the microswitches look "normal" sized to me.
The thing in the center, I had to use the mouse cover to
guess at the function. It looks like a rubber nubbin, and
that would make the thing on the PCB, some sort of 2D strain
gauge.
But there's also what looks like a LED next to it,
and the LED is not pointed in any specific direction.
It could be for illuminating the rubber nubbin, as I don't
see any other function it could carry out, considering the
angle it is pointed.
This isn't the same item, but it's along the same lines. "Trackpoint mouse"
