My MX 500 is still going relatively strong, except for some left-click issues.
That's why at home I replaced it with a G400, and am using it at work instead.
Might have to open her up and see if there's any gunk blocking the action, or if the clicker is worn out.
If it's a clicker, I guess it's just a matter of soldering on a new one in place of the old one..

It is. Easy fix. I did that to my old MX500. Scavenged some clickers from a basic Microsoft mouse (same buttons inside) and rebuilt the MX500. My brother has been using the MX500 for a few years now :D

Same, cleaned the scroll last week. And I have a nib one waiting. Great deal about a year ago.
