Logitech M100 Switch Replacement

소개

Common causes of a faulty mouse button are frequent use, clicking too hard, and dust getting into the switches. The purpose of this guide is to detail how to replace the switches on your Logitech M100 Mouse with the goal of prolonging the life of your mouse.

This guide does not require specialized knowledge except a basic understanding of a soldering iron. Soldering material is metal with a low melting point. Be cautious of the iron and solder's heat when replacing the mouse clicker, as it very hot and can burn skin. It's also important to work in a well ventilated area as the solder can emit fumes that are not good to breath. For more information about soldering, take a look at the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.
