But, as of about a week ago, the right click button has become VERY intermittent (1/10 or less works). This is driving me nuts and slowing me down. I took it apart to see if it could be fixed, but without replacing the contact switch (which I'm up for, if someone can find the part), it seems like a "no". Here's how they look new:
And here after 3 years use:
<I can't ask for a new one if I haven't tried to fix it>
<pulls it apart>
<pulls switch off board>
<pulls switch apart>
<damages switch and can't reassemble even though he cleaned the TINY contacts>
The culprit switch:
And the front/back of the board:
And the guts of the switch:
<remembers box of parts from DeuceEFI>
<fits normal tactile switch SMD style standing on tip toes>
<two hours later, reliable right clicks>
My genius kiwi repair job, which DeuceEFI may recognise some of...
The final touch to make it work was to trim the heads from the plastic rivets, otherwise the button was protected by them. They're VERY thin now...

Not really a good use of 2 hours, though... but likely good enough to see this place out, so I'll hold off on getting another for the time being.
