The left-click switch on my Logitech G305 started glitching-out after a couple years, particularly noticeable when trying to drag something, the drag would drop randomly in the middle. Disappointing to only last a couple years.

I found replacement switches for $10 on amazon, pre-wired with little plug, easy enough to install with just a micro-screwdriver, no soldering. This problem is common enough that there is a good selection of different switch brands/types available. Fantastic. Not disappointed at all anymore, honestly.

I also have a G305 where the left click button wore out.

I removed a switch from the Pi 400 desktop kit mouse I had laying around and replaced it with that.

Upgraded the slider pads while I had everything apart. These actually made more of a difference than I anticipated.

Virtually brand new, although amuses me that left and right click sound different now.
