I am highly skeptical. The thing that breaks first on any given mouse or trackball is the switches or the mouse wheel. To fix them requires desoldering the components and soldering in new ones. The wheel is usually the most complicated and I've never seen one that would actually be easily repairable.
What this means is that Logitech may sell entire replacement PCBs for repairing these things but in all likelihood they will cost as much or more than buying an entirely new device. I don't trust them for a second not to do this.
Any serviceable and replacement parts are better than no serviceable or replacement parts ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Yeah all my breaks are the Left-click or mouse wheel.
