Isn't that just the tact switch failing? Two minute job to replace...

Not on this mouse.

I looked it up (because I had already replaced switches on previous mice) and the fix required carefully removing a rubber cover that is glued in place and tears if you look at it wrong. It also requires removing the skates at the base, which means buying new ones. Even if you do that, the switch is very hard to access. Easily a 60+ minutes job.

I bought the switch thinking it was a 2 minute job and it’s still sitting on a closet for when I have the patience to do it.

I do not casually have spare tactile switches, nor the hardware skills to replace.
Its very easy to source switches, soldering kit and skill curve for this particular repair is short. Plus you can even end up with better performing mouse switches
