Q: Right-click not working after dropping magic mouse

As indicated in the subject line, my wife dropped our Mac's magic mouse...and now the right-click no longer functions unless you push down with a more-than-usual amount of pressure.  That and the noticeable click heard when right-clicking is no longer heard.  Does anyone have some common troubleshooting steps to try for fixing this issue?  I'm hopeful that one of the contact points is just mis-aligned and need to be corrected.

 

Note that this is a physical problem with the mouse.  Everything else still functions normally (left-click, scrolling, connecting via Bluetooth).  I just think that something physically happened with the right-click function and am wondering if there's an easy way to dismantle some of the components to see what might be wrong.

 

Thanks.

    Greetings.

     

    I think that in a case like this you should take it to an Apple store or Authorised re-seller and have it assessed.   From your excellent description it is still not possible to define what may be wrong.  I agree that it is probably a physical thing but from this distance it is not something we can do more than guess at.   If there is no outward sign of damage that would certainly indicate a connection problem inside, but that is not something for D I Y.
