I'm trying to find suppliers / distributors of actual 'mouse wheel parts' but so far I've had no luck. It seems that unlike other electrical components / switches / etc, finding these things is quite a bit more difficult. Any ideas on what terminology to use / where to look for these things would be greatly appreciated.
Back story:
Basically I dropped my mouse one too many times, and one of the clear plastic shafts (for the LED) inside the wheel (connecting to the rotary switch) broke...I tried repairing it (I won't bore you with the details), but in the end my hand done fix is having too many problems (I would try to 'machine' new shafts myself, but I don't have much equipment that isn't scissors and hammers...).
If anyone wonders why even go through the effort, essentially this is by far my favorite mouse ever, and unfortunately it was discontinued so I can't get another.
