Before you go doing anyting foolish (I know its only a couple bucks but...)
I think you should know that there are at least three different models of the
"amiga mouse".  The switches in two of them are very similar but in the 
third they are quite different.  In the third (most common and in my opinion 
best) you will see that the switches are small and square and black.  In the
others they are either a small micro switch that is unprotected (the previous
one is under a rubber dome) or it's a (very cheap) two contact metalic buble
under plastic (that' kind can't be fixed).

So open it up and take a look.
