5.34 Where to obtain replacement mouse parts?

mouse, parts

From: jdavidso@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu

For those who have need of a new button in their mouse, and don't want to pay for the whole mouse when it is only the button that has gone bad, we have recently discovered a satisfactory replacement for the Omron switch. It is in the Digikey catalog, # 931, Jan-Feb 1993, page 141, under Cherry switches D4, DG, and DH series. Digikey part # CH164-ND, Cherry part # DG1C-B1AA. We ordered one of these, and just received it today. Tried it out, and it seems to be working flawlessly so far.

It is also possible to replace mouse buttons from a two button mouse with mouse buttons of the three button mice.
