What’s that button near at the spring on top. Is that a middle mouse button? (yellow button thing at the middle at the top)
You are correct, that is the middle mouse button

What’s a good replacement switch for the 2 main left/right buttons? They say OMRON 3159C21 D2FC-F-K
That’s a good switch to replace them with
Me personally, I like to pull the switches off of other mice, like those rebranded Logitech ones that are bundled with some computers
The G502 is easy enough to pull apart and put back together that I don't mind replacing the switches on occasion

@spslizer sorry I wasn’t clearer before: the switches that are on the primary/secondary buttons are the OMRON D2FC-F-K and the primary switch has failed. I’m replacing them both with Kailh GM 8.0 switches since they seemed to have a good reputation.
I definitely need to study desoldering more though, I am having a lot of trouble removing the bad switches!!
I find that the easiest way to desolder them is to heat up the existing solder, add more new solder, then use a desolder vacuum pump as close as you can to the pin while your iron is still there. If there's still a small residual amount “tacking” it on, heat up the pad around the hole and then wiggle the switch around
It helps to have a helping hands station and a pair of tweezers or hemostats to hold the switch, as the switch and pads will get hot

Hi! I was just wondering if you knew the dimensions of the screw! I lost one when I took it apart and now my right click is a little bit wonky. Thanks!
Hi Sophie. I unfortunately cannot find the shell and screws of one of these mice.
I would recommend trying one of the shell screws from one of the bottom holes and put it in the hole under the right click or the front hole, depending on which is missing
The microswitch may also be on its way out; a “bounce” click when you click and hold is a good indication of this

Disregard the first part of my comment. I have the measurements from the shell screws
On mine they are M2x10.25mm screws. The head looks to be about 3.25mm wide

Can you plz let me know the dimensions of yellow button (middle click button)? Thanks.
From my measurements with a non-digital caliper, it is approximately 9.5mm square, with a height of approximately 1mm
If measuring from the outside where the component is indented for the contacts, it is about 8.5mm. The button looks almost like a very stubby “+” symbol. I hope this information helps!
