Are you skilled with soldering? If yes, then you can buy the micro-switch for cheap and replace it yourself. I have a friend who knows soldering very well, and so far he fixed 2 logitech mouses of mine in different occasions.

soldering is the only part i hate when it comes to DYI -i have another 5 mouses around the house- but my hand started to be comfy with this one - i've looked for stickers - don't have that also- beside the serial code -the rest in embeded in the plastic - the only thing removable from the back is the plastic for weight cartridge
i'm not sure i follow altough "hidden behind the pads" how i look there without crush something
Same here. I just don't trust myself with taking a hot iron near my hard-earned electronics without burning a hole on them in the process :gnoes:
Try to lift them using a small flathead screwdriver.Quote:

beside that altough the ideea of alpacino it's working in this case - mostly soldering dosen't apply anymore - since the most soldering over electronics are made by robots with micronic points of suture and electronic parts are to small for a human to be able to solder like robots do - back in 94-96-until 2000 the method worked great over oldQuote:

electronic parts and old tv's i know from my dad- since the automatic production with the help of robots human soldering dosen't do much anymore - 1) because robots are better 2) to not be able to fix for yourself and just buy another one
taught about this but i was scared not to brake the pads -thanksQuote:

Yeah, some original soldering are very difficult to remake, they are usually too small or were made in hard to reach spots. I myself am poor skilled on soldering, it's just too difficult for me! The times I tried, the solder always end up too big and risk making unnecessary contacts. I hate that.
.... It's 30 dollars. A decent mouse costs 2-3 times more. It's not absurd to rest my 90 dollar mouse on a 30 dollar pad. Not just that, my keyboard is on it too. And it's better this way than having it directly on the desk. And it looks absolutely badass and great.
It's a good quality pad. I've had tiny 15 dollars ones that started peeling after a month or two. This thing IS HUGE and looks brand new still and is super sturdy. I'm sure if you'd buy the materials alone you'd already be close to 20 dollars.
The thing is, good quality will cost you. Does that mean you need to go all out on every little thing? Nah, of course not. But cheaping out will cost you more in the long run. I ended up replacing the peeling pads quite often since I hated both how it felt but it also looked like garbage. So why not spend a little more and have it around so much longer? (e.g. I cheaped out on my desk chair and my back was killing me and I was wondering why. Replacing it cost me a ton plus the amount I spent on the crappy one, not to mention crippling my back.)
If you keep this thing 3 years around, it costs you only 10 dollars a year. That's nothing. If you keep it 6 years (and i have no doubt it will last that long and look great), it's only 5 a year.
You guys are acting like you live on 30 dollars a month. I need to spend twice as much on gas alone each week just to be able to get to work.
Anyone ever experienced an issue with opening gmail before? I can't login to my main email, it just keeps loading forever, but if I login with other email, it works fine. I have no idea what to do.
Tried different browsers? Tried to clean history and cache?
Yea, tried everything, nothing worked. But then out of nowhere around 9am started working again!
I'm the first to call out spending money on overpriced and/or useless stuff (which is why I don't own any Apple products, beep boop bleep), but both this particular product and Sazzy's logic are solid. If this pad costs several times more than a regular one but lasts much longer and doesn't start breaking down like an old car after a while, then it's the better choice. Of course, if you don't have the money you don't have the money, and it's always better to buy cheap and good, although that opportunity isn't present too often.
"But anon-sama, if buying pricier items pays off in the long run, why don't you do that yourself instead of flaunting about your nearly destroyed hardware?" Well, I'm not proud about that, just not particularly distressed =]
Why do I see adds on ign.com when using Chrome, but not when I'm using FF? Both browsers have uBlock Origin and Nano Defender adblocks.
Is that "Do Not Track" option?
