We buy a $300 tablet because we need a $300 tablet with a stylus for drawing. But once that tablet occupies your best desktop space, there is no place to use a mouse anymore, and you still need a mouse. Most regular mice don't work very well on top of a tablet for a variety of reasons, and there's no space for using a mouse next to the tablet, and you don't want to stick the tablet in a drawer every time you need to select something from a dropdown, for instance, so all the real tablets come with both a stylus and a mouse. That mouse, unlike regular mice, is designed to work fine on top of the tablet. Until it doesn't work anymore, and that's where my blogpost comes in. Does it make sense now?

Left trigger isnt working correctly so I was thinking I'll take a peak. Thanks, this is the only place I could find on how to disassemble the mouse.
