In today's episode of "things made of wet toilet paper", Godzilla's right flipper's plunger link went onto greener pastures.

Much to my annoyance I didn't have the whole plunger+link part in stock, but seeing the plunger itself was still in okay shape, I just tapped the pin out and replaced the link as I had plenty of extras.

Checking everything else in the mechanism I also noticed all 8 base plate screws were in various stages of being about to fall off and the end of stroke switch was dead.

Dealt with now.

Wow, this was a surprisingly detailed article about how to fix a jumpy mouse scroll wheel by fixing or replacing the encoder.

Unfortunately, I do not feel up for this right now actually. It's cool to know it's possible though.
