Looking To Replace Some Switches / Sensors In My Mouse

I have a Corsair M90, and every 6 months I have to tear the entire thing apart and clean it out because the scroll wheel goes hard down whenever its touched.

What I would like to do is replace the rotary encoder, but I'm having a hard time finding a good source for parts. I am also interested in replacing the button switches, does anyone know where I can find this stuff?

Update, for anyone looking around, I did find a replacement for mine:

These are called rotary encoders, but finding the correct kind made for mice is pretty hard.


If you want to look into the switches, they are called snap action switches with round pin plungers.

Omron D2F-01 and the like is always a great choice.

I ended up going with the D2F series after a bit more research, not sure which one but it was from mouser.
