>>61296393

>>61296010
Where can I buy one though?

>>61296996
type ring mouse

Only a completely vaguely related note, my nipple mouse nub is kind of worn and is less than responsive when going up and left.

I cannot see myself buying another nipple mouse nub, what are some field expedient fixes for replacing it?

>>61298061

Dismantle the keyboard & wd-40

naw man, the rubber on the nub is deforming and the nub is stretching instead of pushing the plastic square

They're like 50 cents on ebay

Buy a new nub on AliExpress

>>61299504
those things are tiny and mass produced, it's like nothing, and it's an egay auction, cucks will bid way more than it's worth

Big corporation A in the United States contract factory B in China to make 500k pcs of cheap shit, with blueprints provided. B makes 600k pcs and sell the extras on eBay/Aliexpress/Alibaba.

>>61299504
simple, they make the 45 cents from you and thousands when they sell your identity and credit card info.

>>61300319
Patently false. Your credit card info is never revealed to the seller.

The reason they profit is because in china a huge industry is shipping out and they can't ship a cargo ship that is half full and so they get a small cash incentive for everything they ship.

So that cash incentive is why they can sell it for 45 cents.

>>61299504
The Chinese government subsidizes shipping.

>>61300606

it all makes sense now

im ok with this

>>61300606
Why?

>>61300642
You buy crap. You don't produce crap. You send money to produce crap. Crap is produced on various general purpose manufacturing plants that can produce anything, including, but not limited to, crap. They get manufacturing plants. You get crap.

>>61300606
And US government subsidizes Chinese shipping. Yep. I'm not making this up. It's cheaper to ship something from China to the US than shipping from one US state to another.

>>61299504
Usually factories sell off stock that's been overproduced. For example

Lenovo orders 120,000 nubs from Ching Chong Factory. The factory machines makes them in batches of 100,000. They run two batches and have 80,000 left over. They can either store them and hope Lenovo orders from them again, which might not happen, or sell them for a slight profit so the merchandise isn't taking up space
