Re: iHome mouse
Now I remember why I stopped using the MX. The main clicker (left side) does not reliably produce a click action even though I can hear and feel the sound. Sometimes it clicks on the first time, but maybe not, taking as many a 5 clicks in order to register on the computer. Clearly not ideal.
The rubber is kinda sticky in parts and the battery is pretty old so does not hold a charge for very long.
Could these issues be fixed? Sure I could replace the battery but I don't know about conditioning the rubber or what to do about the clicker.

I used to clean the mouse button of my Kensington Mouse In A Box with DeOxit when it stopped working.
You could try removing the gooey rubber coating with isopropyl alcohol. I just rubbed it all off my Logitech mouse with a dry cloth.

I've still got an MX in use (I think there may have been multiple products with that model?) for 12 years now. Lousy that Logitech is not supporting 11.x.

Looks like there is a known issue with the microswitches on this mouse.
Found some videos showing how to replace the Omron D2FC-F-7N, so I might give that a go.

Clarification - I used to clean the microswitch beneath the mouse button with DeOxit. The Kensington MIAB also had a known issue with the switch. Compared with the definitive cure of replacing the switch, I had to disassemble the switch and spray it about once per year.

I could certainly give that a try before going full solder action on it.
