Introduction |
| The switches on a mouse wear out over time, and often start double-clicking from a single press. Luckily, replacing them is quite straightforward so long as you have a soldering iron and a way to remove solder. | | | When buying new switches, it is advisable to pay attention to the quality. The switches are sold in different quality levels. The quality indicates the number of clicks for which the switch is designed for. This is usually indicated on the switch by the number in brackets. Example: Omron D2FC-F-7N(20M) | | | This means: This switch is designed for 20 million clicks. | | | By this type of switch, the bandwidth ranges from about 10 / 20 / 50 / 60 million clicks. So if you plan to use your mouse for a long time, try to get a micro switch with a higher click number. | | | This limit on the number of possible clicks is also responsible for the failure of the switches. This is also seen in the fact that the left mouse button is often the first to fail, as it is generally the most used button on a mouse. |
