My Logitech G500s had the funny clicker, I have a soldering iron but that felt a bit too fiddly (at the time) but I was able to dismantle the switch itself on the board and bend the contacts a bit. Been three years and it's still behaving. The cable went too at one point, with random disconnects as it moved. Was surprised to discover I could just order a new cable that plugged into the internal socket and it was good as new!

Sometimes it can be an exercise in frustration. My wife's Redmi note 10 is on its 4th screen, the original and third ones were dropped, the second was shit and crapped out after a couple of months, the fourth is showing signs of going the same way. Along with occasional locking up and WiFi problems that are fixed with a reboot (pretty sure I didn't break it on my many delves into its guts) I decided fuck it, its a ~£200 phone, get something else this time.
So instead I'm tearing my hair out trying to get her new Samsung A54 to restore the last Google backup.
