And bling, the little clickclick thing came out. After nearly f'ing it all up, I stood back, used another device and looked up how to replace it. Damn, it's easy when you know how.

Mouse lived. Hopefully no longer rogue-double-clicking.

It is a Roccat Kone mouse that I have had for a few years. With any mouse, I find it necessary to go through a switch-contact cleaning exercise every few months. With an ordinary 3-button mouse I might well just chuck it. But this is much more expensive, and here, very hard to replace at all.

I do not game. But I have simple and vital workflow stuff built into its buttons. and *all that stuff works with Linux*

Sometimes it's not just the contacts but the "spring" that has flattened, which tends to look something like this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/kJkAAOSw~B9bf8b4/s-l300.jpg
and you just need to bend that little curved part back up a bit

Yes! I had already bent it down, messing around. When I found out how to replace it, I also read the advice to flatten it.

I have much firmer clicks now. :)

Oh, yours need to be flattened? On my logitechs it was the opposite and had to be curved more. Hmm good to know.

Honest, I don't know. I read a brief instruction on the net: it seems to have worked out for me.

I think those springs must be some sort of small engineering miracle!
