| [title] Desolder & replace switches | |
| - | [* black] Using a desoldering pump or solder wick, clear the existing solder so that the microswitches can be freely removed. Should you encounter resistance when removing the switch be sure that any residual solder has been removed so as not to damage the pads when the parts are withdrawn. |
| + | [* black] Using a [product|IF145-473|desoldering pump] or solder wick, clear the existing solder so that the microswitches can be freely removed. Should you encounter resistance when removing the switch be sure that any residual solder has been removed so as not to damage the pads when the parts are withdrawn. |
| [* black] Once the old microswitches have been removed and the board is clean, the new switches can be dropped in place. I used Panasonic EVQ-P0E07K switches which appear to be a direct replacement. These are a 'snap in' component so the legs of the component secure themselves snugly through the board, allowing easy soldering. | |
| [* black] Note: The suggested Panasonic EVQ-P0E07K switches have a light touch similar to the original part used in the mouse. For a firmer, more mechanical 'click' Panasonic EVQ-P0D07K switches may be used instead. |
