A source for spare parts for ailing mice: Steve, As luck (and lots of hard drive space) would have it, I have a file that tells all about the mouse switches. I got it from Usenet.. here it is: >> can anyone tell me where to purchase Amiga mouse button switches??? I have recently discovered that this type of switch is made by Omron and is one of their B3F series The part numbers are Standard (.3*10^6 operations) B3F-4000 Long Life (10*10^6 operations) B3F-5000 Gold Plated (10*10^6 operations) B3F-5001 Yes I realize that the last two have the same life, but the gold switch is touted as 'high reliability'. Omron's Canadian number is 416-298-9988 and they are distributed by Future/ Active components, Zentronics and Prelco. Omron also has a U.S. office in Schaumburg Ill USA. Phone # unknown, and offices in many major cities worldwide. DISCLAIMER: I am not connected to Omron in any way, have just received their catalog and haven't actually purchased any switches yet. douglee@becker Okay, I've got "Shelly Ragon" (no relation to Ronnie) in Glendale Heights, IL (outside Chicago) at 1-708-529-9977 or Nep Electronics in Woodale, IL at 1-708-595-8500. Ask for "Fred" if you call the latter place, he'll really be mystified why suddenly everyone's interested in this microswitch. <g>< — steve w. Here is where I found replacement switches for the mouse.
