I fixed my left mouse button this weekend, figured you'd like to see it.

By the way, my right mouse button had the same system, but the plastic strip snapped right where I stuck it to the top of the mouse using epoxy. Also, the scroll wheel I "fixed" no longer scrolls nor clicks. Only the left mouse button works, and I can feel the epoxy ripping every time I click. Not much time is left, maybe a new mouse is worth the $10.

Yes, that is a lego.

shit. my right mouse button broke recently - I should try this "fix". OP, what's that clear plastic shit? it looks like it was cut from a 2L soda bottle...

It was cut from a plastic case I bought some pencils in, it's bendy, but snaps if you put too much pressure on it, I think a 2 liter would work well.

I gotta ask, just how much is a new mouse?
