Mouse repair time!

[Daedalus]

RS Components in Europe have the microswitches I use regularly for fixing mice - both PC and Amiga. The part is here:

RS Ireland Clicky

You Radioshack link is blocked here in my job :-( but I guess it's the same one.

As for fitting a third mouse button, I've done this for Amiga mice in the past, but you need to replace the cable as the one fitted to mine anyway didn't have enough cores. An extra connection has to be made to the one remaining unused pin in the D9 connector, and this counts as the middle button in any software that uses it.

They do indeed, but they're not the best quality and tend to require too much force to click. I guess you'd get used to it, but I much prefer going for a good manufacturer like Cherry. If you do want to order them online, order a few at the same time so that you can replace the other button should it not feel "balanced"

Ah, there you go - AmigaKit to the rescue again... And they give you a set for evenness sake :-)

Crumbs! I only just saw your RadioShack picture now, it's so long since I've had a mouse with those "tact" switches in it that I'd forgotten about them!
