I vote for this last. 6 years of use by you is probably equivalent to more than 100 years of use by a typical computer user. Mouse buttons are just microswitches hiding under a bunch of plastic. After 6 years of constant use, detritus could easily have found its way inside to a bad place. If the microswitch is still good, an internal cleaning with a blow gun might be all it needs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
