+The buttons on my Logitec MX Ergo trackball were not working so well, so I investigated replacing the switches.
+
+Michael Stapelberg has a nice [guide to replacing the default buttons with Kailh GM 8.0 switches](https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2021-12-05-logitech-mx-ergo-mouse-button-kailh/), which are described as 'ultra high life'.  Replacing the switches does require soldering.

+For now, I ensure I keep a decent charge in the Logitec MX Ergo trackball which seems to help greatly.
