I know right.....and I can just throw in the 'extra stuff' drawer in my file cabinet so when someone in the office asks for a mouse I can hand it to them and smile.

Anker has Omrons also or you gotta switch out the Anker?

Both have crappy switches that you want to replace with Omrons.

Modding a cherry switch onto it? You could try, but I'd stick with Omrons. Far less of a headache.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160952852700 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/160952852700)

On your recommendation I bought TWO of them.

Will modify them both with some Japanese Omron's that I collected from some old Microsoft Rodents. I just wish there was an easy step by step picture album showing the procedure.

YES I am a 'retarded' individual when it comes to desoldering and resoldering the correct switches into this new mouse because I have never done any soldering in my life nor disemboweling a perfectly good mouse as well. But for $12 each I couldn't pass up the practice and because I bought 2 of them, the first one can be sacrificed in this venture.

Thanks.

I have some cherry microswitches that I prefer to omron. They look like they'll be a direct drop in replacement.
