This is anecdotal but whatever. I have a razer deathadder, it broke (double clicks randomly) and it was less than two years old when it happened. No other mouse I've ever had has broken before and the previous desktop mouse I had for over 7 years before the scroll wheel wasn't as smooth as a newer one.

I had a deathadder that died in a similar fashion some five years ago. I bought another one after that, and its worked perfectly since then. Might have been a bad batch.

Is it that difficult to swap a micro switch?

I’ve repaired many flaky vintage mice by swapping the switches.

There are industrial microswitches that can take a ton of clicks and also you can tune the weight of the click by checking the datasheets.

Digikey and Mouser are your friends, you could probably pay for a dozen switches and a workable soldering iron for what it costs to replace some of these gaming mice.

If you’re on a budget, just get a clone Hako iron.

Hey, I'm just a software developer :) Anything beyond replacing a hard drive is out of my league. I know my place.
