About 10 years ago I bought a used NeXTstation Color Turbo, which came with the later (non-Alps I believe) ADB keyboard with the funky command bar (situated below the space bar, integrated into the case edge, a fairly ergonomic design actually), and the circular body ADB NeXT mouse (not the best ergonomic design). Anyway, at some point in the last 7 years (I only use the system infrequently) at least one of the mouse buttons no longer works. I've taken it apart, nothing looks amiss, everything is clean, so I guess it just wore out. Is there someplace I can order things like replacement microswitches for mice? Or must I cannibalize another mouse?

To get mouse parts all you need is a mouse trap and a kitchen knife.

Ebay has lots of "ADB mice"
A specialized ergonomic ADB mouse brand new, you should get this one:
