@sendpaws apparently the original switches in this mouse are ass and really prone to breaking, it didn't take them very long at all for me but i've kind of just dealt with it this whole time, using an old mouse for the most part when i didn't need the extra buttons. recently i got a new mouse and it just felt really bad in my hand, so i looked around for ways to fix this one again. turns out someone recently just started making replacement boards with better switches already soldered on and they were only like $15.
