My left mouse button key is stuck, could you assist me? This is the mouse I received as a gift last Christmas.

It seems there might be a disassembly guide available on ifixit, but if not, the usual steps are to remove the decorative parts at the bottom of the mouse, then unscrew them carefully so it opens fully. Be aware there could be a ribbon cable or similar component between the upper and lower sections, so take it apart slowly and inspect before removing parts. Also look for any debris or objects stuck inside the right-click area. Just a note, I’ve done this on my 2013 Mamba tournament model, and the feet didn’t reattach, though it’s possible I didn’t change the adhesive properly.

Certainly remove the mouse from the computer during the repair. There are many videos available on YouTube. I've fixed two DeathAdders, it's quite simple. Follow the instructions for the ribbon cable. Use a small knife and handle gently to remove the feet. Some adhesive may stick to the pad and the mouse itself. Replace the pad exactly as it was originally to avoid uneven adhesive application. Also, apply isopropyl alcohol (available at drug stores) with a concentration of at least 70% (preferably 90%). Apply it generously to the right mouse button micro switch, then move your finger in and out several times. Drain any excess liquid, repeat if necessary, and let it dry completely before reassembling.
