My DA 2013 left mouse click is harder to click than my right click. But that doesn't mean it's really hard to click, it easy to click but its much more rough than the right click, also when i push the left button hard it squeaks but the right button doesn't squeak, anybody knows how to fix this issue? This mouse is only 2 months old with normal use. I have a can of compressed air if that helps
 
If you wish to lose RMA option and open the mouse, there are following DIY options:
-solder another switch;
-open the existing switch and try adjusting the spring inside it, like shown here. But in order to reduce required actuation force instead of flattening the shown section you should curve it a little bit more (be careful);
-try gluing something thin (preferrably slick, too) onto a clicker of an upper shell - that'll reduce button travel and make it a bit easier to click. Don't use if travel is already too short.

Thanks for the answer

EDIT : As for the squeaking button, I fix mine by removing the rubber-ish top and cleaning the plastic. The noise is due to dead skin/oils that get stuck here,
I used some of that compressed air, the squeaking was MUCH less than it was before (still squeaks a bit though), also my scroll button was squeaking, that's gone now.

The left click is still the same, i might need to fix that but if i do it with the complicated DIY options i'd probably break it >.<
Yeah the squeaking is really due to crap getting stuck here. Good thing that it's not hard to fix.
