First, let me point you to a Mac newsgroup, since this one is
devoted to the Apple II, the computer that made Apple into the
(then) fastest-to-reach-$1 billion-company.

Second, Apple mice are in abundant supply, both new and used.

Third, if cleaning around the microswitches doesn't fix them, then
the switches will need to be replaced.  (Usually better to replace
the mouse.)
