The microswithes in Mac mice are of the subminiature type. These should
be carried by a number of suppliers as standard parts. Do not, however,
expect t find them in the corner shop. You should ask for swithes with
printed circuit pins, not with soldering hooks, unless you are willing
to carve the mounting holes wider. The pin in the middle has an offset,
but a linear spacing type can be made to fit (see above). If you can lay your 
hands on an ex-operation PC-type mouse, the replacement part may lay there!
(Or steal the middle one of the 3-button PC-type, nobody will notice.)
