I've come across many a mouse where the soldering of the switch to the
printed circuit board has mechanically failed, either through just the
normal use of the mouse, or when mice get dropped and land on a button.
That's easily fixed by resoldering it. But if you don't have the
tools, and the particular mouse isn't worth the effort of trying to fix
it, it's usually far easier just to get a new one.
Thanks to all who have answered!
My surprise is that I bought my mouse not so long ago (less than one year).
