Razer Naga Epic replacement mouse buttons?

I recently replaced the scroll wheel on my 2010-ish Naga Epic (I went for the TTC gold and like it so far), and after using it for a bit longer, I've realized that the original mouse buttons feel fairly understated compared to modern mice. They appear to be standard 3-pin Omron microswitches. For anyone with this mouse (or similar), what switches do you prefer for a slightly stronger click feel, while maintaining a similar required force?

Going to be flushing brake fluid on my Mk1 soon, and figured I might as well replace the 20+ year old brake lines while I'm in there. Stainless steel lines seem to be popular with these cars, but I can't find any consensus on what brands people prefer. Currently stuck between Hel and USP's brake line kits, but also saw Urotuning's kit and thought it might be good. I'd imagine all of them are pretty much the same, but any input is appreciated!

After multiple months, countless hours, and a lot of trial-and-error, my 180 Quattro finally has full compression on all four cylinders!

After a valve broke apart and destroyed the head and two pistons, I pulled everything apart to install forged rods and pistons, a replacement head from a 225, and new intake and exhaust valves. The downpipe was replaced with a 3-inch catted 42DD unit, the entire induction and PCV system was replaced with silicone, the coolant flanges were replaced with metal, and both the intake manifold and valve cover were powder-coated before reinstalling.

Once all of these parts were in, the car still didn't run. I tested a few things, only to discover that cylinder no.4 still had low compression. After a couple of weekends, the head had come off again, and the cylinders were re-lapped. Head goes back on, and like magic, the engine starts up perfectly.

500 miles later, I did my first oil change, swapping out the break-in oil for a full-synthetic 5W40. The block is currently *incredibly* overbuilt for the stock turbo, but I have hopes to eventually upgrade to a mid-frame turbo that can push a consistent 350+ horsepower. But first, the rest of the car (ECU, subframes, suspension, bushings, transmission, and brakes) need to be built up in preparation for the higher power output.

For now, I'm just excited to enjoy this car for what it is 👍
