    the broken part is made out of plastic. so natrully i glued it and that work untill i pressed it in to use the middle mouse button and it snapped of again.
    Do you guys have any tips on how to resolve this issue ?

    what kind of glue did you use. I am not a glue expert, but I believe epoxi is strong.

    No matter which kind of glue you use, you probably will not be able to click down on it without it breaking.

    Hi Jin,

    I think Senlis is right. No glue alone is going to hold. If there is room use a piece of tubing or roll a piece of tin can metal to fit the diameter of the shaft. Now use epoxy. should be strong enough but, I doubt there is room for such a patch.

    Good Luck, Jim

    buy a new mouse it will be cheaper and you won't be wasteing your time trying to repair you old mouse


    but on the subject here sound like you need a stronger adhesive go and get some krazy glue gorilla glue or basiclly speaking some super glue

    ps when handleing these types of adhesives you'll need to wear rubber gloves don't want your fingers getting stuck together or so something or someone XD

    most games that i know of dont have the middle mouse button set as a default key bind anyway. you could probably get by without it if you dont wanna get a new one. otherwise yeah, scrap it and get a new one if you need the middle button for something.
