No, but I have tried "fixing" them, which is just about useless… See, these "switches" (if you wanna call them that) are el cheapo, and seem to require near-perfect alignment underneath a molded protruding plastic post directly under the button. Occasionally I'd get one to work again, but the "feel" was never the same afterwards. The "switch", btw is a little piece of dome shaped metal which simply makes contact with two "pads" on a tiny pc board in the mouse. These switches are about as elementary (and inexpensive) as you can get. Unfortunately, for me, "feel" counts as much as construction quality…
