A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Are you able to open it up and clean the parts around the scroll wheel? You'd be surprised how much crap accumulates there!
If you are looking, Logitech now offers replacement parts for some of their mice through ifixit: https://www.ifixit.com/News/75363/genuine-parts-for-logitech-mice-coming-to-ifixit
I've got the MX Anywhere 3 as my general use mouse. It works well, but I do wish it had AA batteries, instead of an internal one. I hadn't considered repairability when I got it, but it's nice to know that I can get replacement parts, and a replacement battery, should I need it.
I can, and I have! Maybe I should try a little bit harder, though. I used some contact cleaner spray and that did seem to help for a little while, but now the problem is starting to come back.
