Title: I am looking to buy original Panasonic EVQP0E07K
Post by: Pcmaker on July 19, 2020, 03:20:40 am
I have a 2 12-year old gaming mice, the Steelseries Cataclysm mice. I can't use any other mice because they hurt my hand and I gotta still be able to perform well when gaming. So, I've been replacing the micro switches when they go out. I've made a thread about it

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/idenfitying-a-mouse-micro-switch/msg2851206/#msg2851206 (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/idenfitying-a-mouse-micro-switch/msg2851206/#msg2851206)

So, with help from you guys, I've identified the micro switch as Panasonic EVQP0E07K. I've bought some replacements from eBay and the amount of pressure needed to click the button is definitely different, so I'm assuming that they're not original Panasonic switches, but rather clones of it. They also have started to fail already.

I went to eBay and bought some and the title was "Microswitch Panasonic EVQP0E07K replacement switch for mouse button Lot of 2pcs" and the seller is from Poland. I am hoping they are original Panasonics.

I want to know if there's any site out there that will let me buy original ones that are guaranteed not to be fake, and will let me buy no more than 20 of them. The sites I've found don't even have pricing, and says to buy them in bulk of thousands.

Any help?

It boggles the mind that people will post for help without having done even a cursory search on google and/or the big parts distributors. :p
