    sadly I’m not gonna buy Logitech mice anymore until they finally fix the damn double click problem that happens after a year of ownership.

    On a side note, anyone have any sub 50 dollar mouse recommendations?

      if you have a bit of patience, you can fix a chattering microswitch pretty easily:

      its for a logitech mouse, but the procedure is the same for all those microswitches, i got 3 more years out of my roccat mouse (which was in very heavy use and died of another reason)

        Exactly. It’s an easy fix. I haven’t had a mouse break in the last 10 years. The coatings start falling off before the clicks are a problem any more.

        Yes, my Logitech mouse, which is great it every other regard, had the left button give out after about of year of very heavy use (StarCraft, not that my APM is that high). With the addition of some superglue and a piece of plastic I’ve been using it for 4 more years, still going strong.

        Does this also work for the side buttons?
        One of mine started double clicking on my G502 🥲

      Yeah, Hyperx pulsefire. Got mine for $20 and it’s been great. I did have a g602 but wanted a lighter and wired mouse, and decided to go cheap instead of more expensive like I normally would.

      Ah the old double click issue. So it’s mainly the logis that do that ? I thought i was just imagining it. But like others have said I do not have any of those issues with the other brands of mice. Now if I can just find the right silent mouse…
