@@enzothatguy Should have done that to mine instead of buying a new one that guess what.. CAME with double click. Edit: I'm afraid of using the warranty and getting one that's even worse..
@@JonatasMonte So.. You had a mouse that worked fine but then it began double clicking and you bought a new one and it came with double click? Damn that sucks man but you gotta return it and get one that works.
Yes indeed. Very easy & intuitively understandable, while being detailed af. It's like when dad tries to make you really understand sth technical lol, just in video form, very well done.
This is the best of these mouse switch repair videos on RU-vid. Best closeup shots, best view of the spring problem and fix. Other videos don't show which way to bend the spring back, they just say "flatten it".
This was 1,000,000 X more helpful than all the other videos. You actually opening up the mouse button and showing how it is supposed to function allowed me to fix my logitech M720 mouse that had the double click issue over a year ago. I have the same issue with the G903 mouse which I will go and fix too. Thanks!
I know this is 2 years old, but this does show to those who cannot solder cause of no instruments to do so(or are accident prone to burning themselves too many times), that it can be done. So thank you for this, I appreciate the videos, and keep up the good work with these.
I am your new subscriber, came from one of your older soldering video. Only missing thing was subtitles or better explanations. Now you got that covered too!! Awesome! Keep up the good work!
It's astonishing how a macro lens can so fully illuminate the world of failing mouse parts. It's cool to see the wear and tear at such a high level of detail.
Excellent video! Now among all the approaches for fixing the double click issue, I personally prefers switch replacement by soldering, as this is the easiest method for those that are comfortable with soldering. I would recommend the de-soldering method in 8:56 but make sure you have solder sucker or de-soldering wick at hand.
Wow, your Video is very high quality. I had this issue for 1 month already, I just didn't want to take apart my mouse. But then while playing games and just using Windows, I noticed it even more, and just had to fix it. So I tried it, and so far, *no more double clicks!* Thanks for this Video!
Finally! Not a duct tape solution........................... I use a Razer Mambe TE and I had issues click and dragging. Would unclick and click again rapidly depending on how much pressure I was putting. Just opened the small switch box to see if anything was unsual - now that I know what to look for (thanks to you). After a brief inspection I figured nothing was wrong with it and tried installing the plastic button the other way around instead. It now feels brand new. Thank you, once again!
Mine had problems of double clicking at once and having to press harder to do the hold action. Did everything according to this video and now my mouse's button works like new. Thanks a lot dude!
This is fantastic. I saw a few other videos on this topic with a feeble explanation on how to do it and poor camerawork. This video has some amazing close up shots and detailed explanation of what the problem is and how to fix it. 10/10 would fix my own mouse again.
Thank you so much! This video has saved my mouse twice now, first from the double click on the right button and then now with the left button. The first time around, I reshaped the little metal spring and it has been working great ever since. With the left button, I tried to do the same, though ended up breaking the spring. I salvaged another button from another mouse (different model, so different springs) and soldered it, just like in the video. My mouse now works beautifully :)
wow ..pin to pin ...1 2 3 step by step, zoom quality ...spring actions...100% ...even a non tech guy will just learn to repair things by your vedio bro ....it is so helpfull ...good work 👌👌
Thank you so much for this, I tried the first method where you don't replace your spring and just fine tune it and it worked perfectly. It's a little hard to do yourself though because the pieces are smaller than you expect but if you're willing to do it than buy a new mouse it works perfectly!
I been having the same problem with my mouse and I only got it a few days ago. So when I found this video and looked inside the switch, I found one half of the spring was bent up. So I flattened it back down and now it stopped double clicking. Thank you.
The best explanation of double click nature! I just fixed my Logitech G203, but it now clicks a little bit harder than before :) Thank you for the video!
This is GOLD! I tried to fix my mouse and almost gave up at midway, then I found your video! So clear! Much better than any other videos, in which the youtubers' face took half of the screen! BTW, do you sell the camera used in this video? I'll buy it no matter how much it takes!
I have planned to repair my Logitech mr100, and I ordered replacement huano buttons. Though I would get the parts soon, I opened the button and repaired it today. Its a success and the button works like charm!
An excellent video, thank you. I've just repaired an old Logitech V550 Nano mouse that had a double click issue. I followed the suggested method of removing and reshaping the fine spring and found this to be a very difficult exercise. In addition I took a small strip of clean printer paper (80 gm hence a little stiff) and slid it back and forth between the microswitch contacts (See 6:48). This was sufficient to visibly remove some dark oxide. Upon reassembly the mouse worked perfectly.
Beautiful. For me, my tweezers did not have great grip at the tip. So, while taking out the spring was easy, putting it back after sanding and re-tensioning was terribly hard.
I fixed it thanks to you! I'm using an old razer naga left handed, cant find a decent left handed mouse with lots of buttons so needed this repair. thanks a lot for making this
This is insane, this is the best tutorial ever to explain why and how to fix it. you made a realy realy nice job! For my part i got this problem but i simply bought a new mouse, exactly the same one. :D I saw your video only after. But now when my second same mouse will got problem too, i could try all this on my first one without risk to destroy my last one. Thank you!
I had that problem with a cheap usb mouse and with an “expensive” Logitech mx master. It’s dumb how Logitech used cheap micro switches on a professional line mouse
Well Omron is probably one of the best maker when it comes to switches though. There probably aren't many other micro switches available on the market for mice, I don't know tbh. Would be interesting to actually check other mouse makers. I have used Logitech mice for a decade (actually more but I dont have the older ones anymore) and my G5, G700s and G502 all have the same Omron D2FC-F-7N switches, although the G5 only use those for the left and right click, and not for the next/previous page buttons and DPI change buttons. Also on the G5 it's D2FC-F-7N (10M) so that might be a slightly different version, unless it's just because the G5 is pretty old (2008). The D2F-F featured on most of the video footage here is an older version, haven't seen it on any mouse so far.
I actually found the D2F-F on a cheap and quite old optical mouse in my office. The metal spring looks a bit bulkier than the one on the new switches, it looks way easier to replace than the new model.
I wonder if those old Omron D2F-F are still in use in other brands, or if all have been replaced by the new ones (D2FC-F-7N) that seem less reliable (I can't say for sure if they are, but they look bulkier)
Ok this is the first time I leave a comment on YT but man this save my life, well explained video I just finished fixing mine, it worked well after.. And some advice for the guys who are going to try it, if you don't have the tools/experience to work with small objects just go buy a new one, it took me 20 mins even I have good experience with such things, plus I ruined the plastic top part but luckily I have an old mouse that I used to replace it.. Good luck
Thanks bro it helped me a lot (I had a new Logitech g502 hero and in this lockdown I was unable to change it so I just replaced the spring from a button that I don’t use much and now it’s working fine )
Great analysis of the switches and soldering! I did not think they are so simple mechanically. It is a shame that so many relatively expensive mice from reputable vendors such as Logitech are frequently failing this way.
If I wanted to fix a problem with an old or just dirty USB mouse this is the video I would come to. Very detailed and potentially a profitable fix for more expensive hardware used in less than clean environments. Roller ball was easier to see, this is basically the same problem just at a smaller scale.
What a nice video! so well done! and most better it made me repair my Logitech G100s, i was for an hour trying to put these **** string and ah, almost drove me crazy men! But, i decide to replace it with another piece from a mouse that i had lying around, the only "problem", is that the replace is too noisy but, it works flawlessly! So, please keep going with this kind of production, i think as other said that this is a exceptional video, i haven´t seen anither like yours in a long time... well again, thanks a lot!
I have the world of Warcraft legendary cataclysm mouse, from steel series. I love this mouse. Unfortunately they stopped making it. People that do have it have over priced it for a sack of money💰... I own 5 . I am very lucky to have found this video, seems like an easy repair for my five which each one have their own problems but all of them have the click issue. I believe.i can salvage one to keep on playing wow. I tried buying the night sword and the naga, and the g503. Which for me are horrible... Thanks for this video!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just a reminder: the pieces are teeny tiny, you REALLY NEED A WELL LIT AND CLEAR WORKING STATION WITH PREFERABLY A MAGNIFYING TOOL to see better. If you accidentally lost that 0.1-0.2 cm width plastic bit or put too much strength in to messing the copper piece, you'll easily fucked. I did a similar project before and boy it took me hours. The steps were that simple, but holy shit you really need to have the tools to do the job.
Tried fixing a logitech g102 yesterday, but was using some other video which had terrible camera angles and terrible instructions. I should've found this video sooner. Still. The copper part flew away when I tried to remove it, almost broke the pins on the mouse cable trying to disconnect it from pcb, spent hours trying to get the copper part in correct shape and then in the end applied too much pressure and broke it into half. Basically everything that could go wrong went wrong. Wasn't easy at all but i've learnt from my mistakes I feel and i've ordered a replacement switch. I'm probably going to take the copper spring from that and put it into my current mouse since I don't have sodder tools. I'm gonna try and learn to fix this mouse on my own. (Also sorry for replying to a 2 year old post)
