I have changed the switch for my mouse. I bought 2 switches for about $0.25 each from a local electronic part dealer. Just looking for the one that has 4 pins and selecting the one that has softest action. Check it contact assign- ment with Ohm meter before replacement as not all of them have the same contact as the Atari mouse switch. I have to bend up 1 pin (not connect) and soldered only 3 pins to the pc board. It may require some filing of the button to adjust it to the correct height. Mac using micro switch for its mouse. I also found suitable size micro switch that could be used for Atari mouse but you will have to cut the stems underneath the mouse buttons. I am still not keen to do that yet. Micro switch is much higher than the square button type switchs used in the original Atari mouse. Althogh it has 4 pins connects to pc board but it is only on/off actions therefore the 2 pin Micro switch will work. Sujarittanonta
