I opened up my mouse, and im currently using it without the top, because the left click on the mouse is only working about 1 in every 50 or so clicks with the shell on it.
Is there a way I can make the click work again with the shell on or do I simply have to buy a new mouse?

if you are any good with soldering electrical equipment, you may be able to fix it, but a regular mouse costs $20.
You can probably even get one free after rebates if you look.
Try your local newspaper advertisements.
Usually just easier to get a new mouse, unless you have some really cool expensive one.

You might be better off buying a new mouse.
There are some out there that are dirt cheap.
You can try cleaning the gunk out of it, if there is any noticeable.
I bought an optical mouse 5 years ago for 20 bucks. It still works perfectly.

Well, I don't really have much experience in fixing mice on computers, but with the cost of a mouse today (less than $10 for a cheap one), I would recommend just buying a new one. Its a product that would be more expensive to fix than to simply buy a new one. Sorry.

If you like repairing electronics, you could buy a small momentary SPST switch at Radio Shack or somewhere and install it. I had a mouse like this and it worked fine for years, it was a bit better than a regular mouse in fact because my index finger was raised a bit higher because of the height of the switch; less pressure necessary to click.

Hi The 'click' is a microswitch tripping. Sometimes the plastic wears down just enough so the switch won't trip. Put a small piece of electrical tape on the back side of the mouse button and try it. Good luck!

Yeah it is a whole lot easier to buy a new mouse. Fixing it is a pain, and would probably not work right once you put it back together

I would buy a new mouse, a laser mouse that's wireless because those are the best!

I would get a logtech LX7 wireless. You will love it, they are very good at response and last forever. Plus they are wireless and they have a high range.
