So it's definitely a faulty unit. In that case, there's several potential approaches: Resolder the switches, and any connections to nearby tracks. Replace the microswitches. Cannibalise a mouse you don't like to resurrect the one you do. Real clicky microswitches are quite reliable, crappy little membrane keyboard push buttons are not. Get a can of electrical contact spray from an electronics shop, spray into a gap somewhere in the switch body, then jiggle the switch button. Do the same for plugs and sockets on the mouse's circuit board. Electrical contact spray does wonders for all sorts of unreliable mechanical/electrical issues, and it's probably the easiest solution for those who don't do soldering. Don't use WD40 or RP7 type of sprays, they're corrosive, and the fault will come back worse and worse. Not to mention that they stink, for ever more after being sprayed, and heck knows what that stuff does for your health. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
