My left button on my MX510 is starting to fade. Is there any home remedy to fix this?

Starting to fade? What, you mean visibly, as in electrons are no longer making quantum jumps in thier respective orbits, or physically, and your able to like put your finger through it?
My sweat dissolved the paint on all my stuff too. It's just too bad it isnt fast acting enough to be a super power.

Light spray coating of acrylic lacquer (mask the area off, of course).

it happens.. for some reason very often with Logitech mice, my G5 has a very smooth surface where the click area is compared to the rest of the surface, which was the very same all over two months ago when i got it.

Hrm... I meant more like that it every so often doesn't accept my clicks, aka nothing happens.

The switch is on it's way out. You can either try to open it and change it, If it's still under warranty ask for a new one or buy a new one.

Can I really change it myself and where can I find a replacement switch? (No warranty)

I can't vouch for the MX510, never having opened one up, but most mice I've seen have bog-standard, rectangular microswitches of a specific size. It should be easy to find a replacment from an electronic parts shop (online or off), or even cannibalize an old/cheap mouse for the part.

A friend tried it with his boomslang mouse. So I'm assuming That you can do the same thing. But try it with another mouse first, say like those cheap $5 3 button logitech mouse before taking it on the mx510

Who the fuck cares? You can still use it, until it doesn't work. If it doesn't work you buy another one. If you spent more than $15 on an optical mouse then it's your fault for wasting money.

Try any of the MX series mice and you'll realize how much of an idiot you are. Nothing beats the MX series mice, they're so delicious.

It's not just a mouse. The mouse and keyboard are your primary means of inputting information to the computer and most people use a computer several hours a day be it for school, work, or fun. A good computer is intolerable without a decent interface.
A good mouse is an excellent investment in your PC.
You, good sir, need a brain. Should you find one, I hope you will learn to think more critically.

It's not just a mouse.
It's a fucking mouse, no matter how you jizz over your riced mouse.
I could understand it for keyboards... 15 years old IBM model Ms are always better than the multimedia bullshit of today, but mice? My $15 7-button mouse is just perfect, I can't imagine how would I make it better. It's solid (didn't even lose the wheel ticks after years), smooth, and light, and it has been comfortable after periods of over 10 hours with it. I hereby consider anything more expensive than this mouse a waste of money.

The only big improvement in mice in years was getting rid of the ball. Trust me, everything else is gravy.
The old rolly-ball square two-button Dexxa mice weren't that bad either, so it makes me wonder what the hell all this zOMG MX is about. My cheap $15 mouse fits in my hand, has a scrolly wheel, six (half which I never use) buttons, and most importantly, optical. It doesn't lock, and its resolution is insane.

I'm not >>20, but mine's a Golden Point I got for $15 too and I couldn't be happier with a mouse. It comes with the standard buttons and wheel plus two buttons in the sides which you can use in Windows without any shitty drivers; browsers will use them to move backwards and forwards and you can use them in games as you wish.

Say that to my MX700 and MX500. Both are over a year old.
