A map illustrating the rise and expansion of the Tsardom of Russia under the rule of Ivan IV Vasilyevich (commonly known as The Terrible, from the Russian “grozny“(грозный), Fearsome or Awe-inspiring). Originally a Grand Prince of Moscow, Ivan IV became the first to be crowned and rule as the Tsar of all Russia (from the Latin Caesar), previously a conglomerate of dutchies. He laid the foundation of absolute rule, engaged in a reign of terror against the nobility, reformed the government, opened diplomatic relations with England, wrote music, oversaw cultural and religious renaissance, and aggressively expanded the Russian borders through war and conquest. Shortly after his death (in 1584), Russia entered decades of instability known as The Troubles (Смута) that ended his Rurik dynasty and opened the way for the Romanovs.

    If you are comfortable soldering on a circuit board you could probably replace the switch fairly easily but then you probably wouldn't be asking the question. But from my experience when a mouse starts havving issues clicking its time to find a new one because it will only get worse.

      Dang, I have similar issues with mine and I have experience soldering, but it's crappy and doesn't have any clear way of disassembling it. Planned obsolescence can eat my butt

        The trick is to get a medium expensive mouse and overuse it so it dies in less than a year and then complain so they send you a replacement.
