I had this problem with two different ST mice, and a friend gave me
this suggestion (from his own experience):  Put several layers of
paper between the plastic "arm" of the button and the actual switch.

Depending on the seriousness of the problem, different thicknesses
of the paper work...but when I did this, the problem completely
vanished for several months.  (until a "friend" played a game on it
REAL hard, and I had to replace the paper--it works again, though).

If it doesn't work--well, you can't complain about the cost, right?
