Basically I have this mouse that I loved until I opened it up and found that the mouse button was broken, irreparably. Basically I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to acquire the part that I need, or what I should sell if not.

Just solder on a new micro-switch and it'll be good as new.

I need to grab some pictures, it's actually not the switch that is broken but the actual button? to use keyboard talk it is not the keyswitch that is broken but the keycap, it is snapped from it's supports internally in such a way that repair of the part is impossible (I tried and now it is for sure)

That's why you search online for a guide. There's guides out there of how to fix anything you could possibly imagine. Epoxy does wonders, you still have a chance of repairing it.

no, no I don't. When I **** **** up I do really high quality work. I wont get into too many details, and you will have to imagine why I though any of this would work but well, at this point the mouse button has been glue 3 different ways, braced, ground down, broken in a new place, smashed, umm, well it's gone.
