Cool! Thanks for sharing. It's great that you re-worked your mouse and
avoiding having to buy a new one.
Leaded solder is way better than non-leaded. I breathed lots of solder
fumes in the '50s, '60s, & '70s, and I'm still here and breathing just fine.
Wiki says: "On July 1, 2006 the European Union Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous
Substances Directive (RoHS) came into effect prohibiting the intentional
addition of lead to most consumer electronics produced in the EU.
Manufacturers in the U.S. may receive tax benefits by reducing the use of
lead-based solder. Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin,
copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals.
Most lead-free replacements for conventional Sn60/Pb40 and Sn63/Pb37 solder
have melting points from 5 to 20 °C higher, though solders with much lower
melting points are available."

Subject: [Simply Computers] Left mouse button quit
Just an observation.
The left button on my wireless mouse gave up after about 3 years. I guess
that has to do with lots of game playing. When I opened the mouse I found
the micro switches on the side buttons were the same as the left and right
buttons. So I removed the side button I have not been using and put it in
the left mouse button slot.
I found it takes a hotter soldering iron to work with non leaded solder than
leaded solder. The mouse appears to work ok in every respect. - Jerry
