I have a Razer Abyssus for a few years. It's great but lately, because of heavy usage and probably dirt the left button doesn't properly *click*. I mean it registers but I don't feel it and it's annoying. Right click is fine.

There doesn't seem to be a way to open it to clean it. I tried sticking a toothpick under the button but it didn't clear anything.

Can I somehow fix this? If not, which mouse should I buy?

I want a mouse that's:
1) Lightweight
2) Reasonably cheap
3) Middle mouse moves in increments and not analog-like
4) WIRED

Maybe I should buy the same mouse again?

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse

If you can open the mouse case, you can open the microswitch casing and rebend the metal spring, or even replace the switch with simple soldering job.

What is that abomination you posted? That's not cheap or light.

The Abyssus according to its site is 80g without cable and the cthulhu-mouse you posted is 121g.

If you are happy with it, I'd say go with the same. Otherwise: prepare yourself to go out and try different ones in the shop.

For the cleaning part (I have a Razer Lachesis) I use a tootpick, sometimes compressed air for the harder to reach spots or a cotton tip (dunno if yours can open that much without breaking).
