At around the turning point I guess, where PS/2 and serial mice were “done” and scroll wheels and/or middle buttons actually had a point, I found a place selling the dome switches dirt cheap and I’ve got a small bag of them somewhere I never actually had to use, due to moving on to optical/scroll mice. By that time also, the scroll wheel, now somewhat essential, has gone nasty sticky or otherwise cranky, which much scrubbing with alcohol or anything doesn’t seem to resolve so they get retired for that too. However, while more recent mice do last longer, I find after a couple or three years they get furred up contacts or something and double click on you randomly. However, I found them fairly easy to replace whole, desolder and resolder, never thought of trying to rebuild in situ. I would buy 3 button mice for the “spare” switch because very little actually supported them until into the 2000s. Yah, those switches only used to last like 6 months on the left button for me.

It’s a simple hack, but one that goes to show one shouldn’t always take “ No User Servicable Parts Inside” as an answer. A replacement part can then be sourced, and the remaining rivet stubs can be remelted to hold the new part in place. However, if properly armed with a soldering iron, these plastic rivets can be melted to allow the backing plate and keyboard to be removed. The keyboard is riveted into the top plate assembly, along with the trackpad, which would normally necessitate their replacement as a total unit. The hack begins with removing the top case assembly from a HP Pavilion laptop. It’s not always the case however, as this ingenious hack from bears out. Assuming you’ve just suffered the latter, you can still be out of luck, as many laptops come with fancy integrated keyboards that are not designed to be removable. If you’re lucky you’ll ruin just a keyboard, and if not, your entire machine could go up in smoke.

These products have been widely used for attaching or joining two panels together, securing trims and upholstery to steel or wood panels, and fixing signs or other lightweight objects. Typically, plastic panel fasteners are used in light duty applications in the automotive, industrial and furniture industries. Many of our designs are easily removable and reusable. They generally offer a more secure fixing than a fir tree or w-button fastener.Īn alternative method of fixing offered by some products in this range is by a two part assembly that snaps or ratchets together. One advantage of this type of fastener is that it can be fitted blind from one side of the panel. The rivet is then secured by pushing or screwing the pin through the centre of the rivet causing the sides to expand. ![]() Plastic drive rivet fasteners operate by pushing the stem of the fastener through a hole in a panel or other surface.
