Each to his own. Mice are very cheap these days. I wouldn't dream of
spending 20 minutes, the cost of new microswitches, soldering iron,
and solder to save $20 or so for a new mouse.

That's assuming the model the OP likes is still available; I think he thought it
wasn't, but someone here found them.

I like fixing things. It's sort of a hobby.
Ordering a new one for $12 is not nearly as much fun.

I share that hobby: I'll certainly spend more time than a thing is worth trying
to fix it, if I think the fault is something simple: the throwaway philosophy
bugs me. I'll admit, I give up a lot sooner now than I used to, though.


You guys seem to be the type that would appreciate this:
