はじめに
The MX2 suffers a similar fate to the first MX series of ghost clicks after a year or 2 of usage. This is due to a faulty microswitch that needs replacement.
I found Omron D2FC-F-7N(10M) switches inside and decided to replace the left one only for now.
This forum post was very useful in understanding the Omron switch naming convention. I am attaching a pdf print-out of the post in this guide, in case the post/forum vanishes.
I replaced my fault switch with an Omron D2F=01F made in Japan. Living in India, I managed to order it on tanotis.com.

The click switch as 3 pins (boxed in red). I replaced the left button mouse switch only as the right one is still working.
-
I had to prime the solder, by adding some fresh solder to each pin in order to get the circuit solder to melt and loosen the pins.
-
I clamped the board and used a small flat screwdriver as a lever below the switch to gently pry it away while I heated each pin.
-
I used a desoldering pump to clean the circuit holes
-
the original Omron switch is made in China, and I managed to find one made in Japan, hoping for better life-time.

Take care when placing the wheel assembly to insert the from screw guide (the small black piece) first.

I compiled this guide with my fixed mouse which works like a charm again. The MX Anywhere is a great mouse for travelling and I hope to get many more years of service from it.
