Hello,
I have an older laptop who's only problem is that the mouse button switch failed. I've not yet opened the laptop up, but it feels like it's a basic 4p dip switch which you see used everywhere. Because it's a mouse switch, it's going to take a lot of abuse. So, I decided to look for something with more endurance. I'm now browsing mouser and I see for the highest endurance switches I can choose between the following manufacturers:
C&K Switches
E-Switch
Omron
Alps Alpine
Apem
IDK which of these would be considered the best. I'm also uncertain if there's a particular switch design which, though different, I might bodge in to get a more permanent solution.
Anyone got advice?
Thanks!
