I have two Logitech M331. One for desktop, another for traveling laptop. Lately, the desktop one left click is stiff and need to press harder to register click. I'm comparing it with the right button and the other mouse, they're still smooth and easy to click. I have to admit, I play games a lot, maybe that's why the switch wear out or something.
From what I can see in Shopee, the switch ranges from RM 0.50 to RM 10++. Although this one seems most popular, Kailh GM 8.0 Mouse Micro Switch, at RM 5.5. It doesn;t seem expensive to me, although I have no idea of the pricing of such switches. I would prefer high quality over cheap products if it's only in these range.
Any input for this? I would just buy one the popular (according to Shopee search) and ask a shop to replace it for me. Should I get a set and replace both left and right switchs?

If you have broken mouse, just use pin remove the switch cap, replace the metal contact inside with the working one from your broken mouse.

Don't have any broken one. They're all working great. I guess all the mashing from playing games spoil this one switch for this one mouse only.

Used to replace a switch in my old Logitech MX510. It felt worse despite claiming superior omron. That time not much choice in market.
