M0100 replacement parts

Hi all, I have an M0100 mouse and one (or more) of the emitter LEDs are shot, so the cursor isn't moving properly. Are these little LEDs still available to buy? Or is there a modern alternative?

According to DigiKey, these have a Last Time Buy date of 1/15/2020.    I imagine there'll still be old stock kicking around after that, but they will no longer be manufactured.   Might be time to stock up.   But we so seldom need them.    Unless all our mice are about to wear out because they've reached that age.

DigiKey has 0 stock, but Mouser has them on hand, for those of us in the Americas.

Slight update to my post. That original link is incorrect, and this is the correct item:

https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/ir-leds/1713858/

Although functionally the same, the other ones are slightly the wrong size and required a bit of fiddling to get them in. The link in this post is the correct size.

Incidentally, replacing these did fix my faulty mouse (hooray!)

Thanks,

Bruce

Are the first ones you linked a little too thick?

They are. I shaved some of the plastic off with a file. They're also narrower, but that didn't stop them from fitting.
Thank you for pioneering this.   I looked at the dimensions in the datasheets after you posted the second emitter.  

The first one is shorter and narrower (by about 1 mm) but thicker.   The second one is wider and taller and flatter.

The second one also costs about twice as much at Mouser as the first one, although if you're buying one, the difference hardly matters.

Ah, nice.  The second one is also in stock at Digi-key and does not appear to be end-of-life like the first one.
