Comment An odd solution (Score 1) 17
I used to go through cheap mice fairly quickly, because they stopped working nicely after about 3 months. At $15 NZD a pop it wasn't really a worry, but eventually I purchased a 3 Button Logitech Mouseman. This was fine, for about a year and a half, until the left mouse button started dying.
Eventually I got sick of this, and pulled the thing apart to see what the problem was. It turns out that the part of the left button's plastic facing that actually depresses the swith, had chipped or worn away in such a way that it no longer depressed the switch. I eventually thought of tightly wrapping some thin copper wire around the affected area, and haven't had any more problems since.
