    Hello ShadowTracer, I partially followed your tutorial but I feel I should add some context that is missing/misleading in this video. You should *not* bend the switch, the culprit is in fact the contact surfaces, if you actuate the switch you will recognize that the function is a disconnect between two contact surfaces and in my case there was a clear build up of residue on both surfaces of the contacts, I removed the residue with a combination of electrical cleaner and a small brass brush and the ghost click issue is gone. It may be worth while to refresh this video and clarify because I could imagine less experienced techs or end users inadvertently breaking their switch by following this guide. Not to criticize you or anything, I found your tutorial easy to follow, you have a good voice and clear in your instructions I just don't think that bending the switch should be recommended. Cheers o7

    @greatwolf. Před 6 lety +65

    Before you take the omron housing off put a piece of small tape over the top so it holds the white button in place. This way when you remove the housing the button stays in place with the housing and doesn't get lost.

  • @MonkeyPunchZPoker
    @MonkeyPunchZPoker Před 7 lety +21

    7:38 If you put a piece of tape over the top of the switch before you pry it off it will keep that button thingy in place.

  • @rutvikpanchal466
    @rutvikpanchal466 Před 3 lety +31

    Great guide although you missed the important bit, over time due to many clicks, rust or gunk get settled in between the main contact points(due to electricity and metals and chemistry idk). That's the flat part on the switch itself in bottom side and the rounded surface on the metal piece that you said you should flatten out(you shouldn't do that btw, it messes up the click and the contact). To solve the entire issue of double click all you have to do is to remove that rust with a precision knife or a super small high grit sandpaper. The rust or gunk creates a resistant path, which results into double clicks or sometimes no clicks at all. I recently fixed my G602 switches by removing that gunk. If you have precision tools, you won't even need to remove the metal piece and you can use a slim thin sandpaper thingy to get in between the contacts. Another part that should be to show how fragile that thin metal piece is and you will need tweezers to work with it and how to put it back together.

    • @Jan0123able
      @Jan0123able Před 2 lety +4

      I actually have my mouse taken apart and noticed exactly this, it seems the switch disconnects those two contacts and there is a lot of residue present. I was skeptical about bending the metal and glad I noticed this

    • @Jan0123able
      @Jan0123able Před 2 lety +4

      Update- I was able to remove all the residue from both contacts and the ghost/double click/not able to click and drag has completely gone away- no need to bend anything :)

    @chrisrich3134 Před 7 lety +11

    Hello, I have just followed the guide and I have a few things to say!
    First, whoever try it too, you'll need patience and dexterity, i promise. Also don't buy new mouse feet before actually trying to fix your mouse, because it is going to be a rather difficult process. You can always put back your old ones somehow if you get rid of them smoothly in the first place.
    Then, the process of opening the mouse itself is quite easy, getting rid of the covers is ok (be careful if you use a sharp tool though, and don't lose the tiny white plastic part).
    The very difficult part is to put back the small copper piece. Actually it's hell, I believe that it's the reason why it doesn't appear on the video, and it's honestly fair enough. There are two problems about it:
    1) It is placed in a way that it has to be very tight. You can open the cover of the right button and use it as a base. Look how the copper piece is tightly placed, there are tiny slots.
    2) The fact that it is hard to put back the copper piece correctly, will force you to put pressure on it, maybe bend it so it will not be as flat as it was after you fixed it a moment earlier.
    In conclusion to my experience, well done ShadowTracer, it did fix the double click problem. It is not a perfect result though because my left click is a little more sensitive that it is supposed to be. It's at least less annoying than the double click issue, and i will try to work on that copper part a bit more another time.
    Hope my feedback helped!

    • @ShadowTracer
      @ShadowTracer  Před 7 lety +3

      Thanks for your novel XD jk. I thought this was going to be a troll comment when I started reading it. The reason that part isn't in the video is because, had it been, it would've just been an hour of me cursing and searching around in the carpet. Yeah, it's not a perfect solution. I took the mouse apart again and flattened the copper thing out some more, actually, and now it works perfectly. Glad this worked for you too. You just have to keep messing with it until you get the copper bit into the right shape.

    • @julianzurn1428
      @julianzurn1428 Před 4 lety +1

      However putting it back in is indeed hell.

  • @gmchitaru
    @gmchitaru Před 5 lety +5

    I would advise people to first use some compressed air and some isopropil alcohol drops to try and clean the contact of the mouse. Mine was also double-clicking from time to time, but it was due to dirt build-up. After blowing some compressed air and adding 2-3 drops of alcohol along the button (with a syringe works best) it now works again. So, try this before starting to pull your mouse apart.

    • @gmchitaru
      @gmchitaru Před 5 lety +1

      Also, try cleaning your damn mouse with some alcohol once per week. Don't let your palm grease accumulate on the mouse. It will easily make it's way to the contacts , especially if you have greasy and sweaty palms.

    Thanks for this video, I did this to my son's Logitech mouse a few years back and fixed the double-click problem. I could not remember how I did it exacly so your video was great when I had to deal with my G602 with the same problem - then it all started to come back to me. Issue does not seem isolated to a particular model, the ones we have all have the same Omron metal "spring" mechanism.

  • @ministerofpropaganda9536

    Thank you so much man. I didnt have the problem listed in the video, but i did have a major problem where the mouse wouldnt turn on (because i accidentally dropped it from about 7 feet). Thanks to this video i learned how to take apart the g602, and found that the problem was actually very simple (the black and red wires connecting the batteries to the mouse was unplugged).

  • @Animal_lives_matter
    @Animal_lives_matter Před 7 lety +3

    Thanks for this. I don't think I would have been able to do it without your video. Especially removing the lid of the omron, I probably would have given up and/or been too scared to break it open.
    In my case the problem is the mouse button releasing itself automatically. At first I thought ok that means I should do the opposite of what you did and make the copper hook sit higher rather than bending it down. However I didn't adjust it, and instead, snipped off about 1mm of copper at the back end of the plate to shorten it (using nail clippers) as it appeared to be sitting very close to the connection post in the pressed position, possibly completing the circuit and causing the button to release. I also sprayed it all down with electrical cleaner solvent. Of course, getting the copper plate back on was the hardest part, but actually it's very easy if you use the thin tip pliers and figure out which bit needs to hook underneath first. Without pliers it's almost impossible to do, luckily I had a pair lying around! However, even just removing and refitting the copper plate has changed its shape slightly from all my fidgeting with it, and the button is now super quiet to click, which I like! Not had a single issue yet, but it will probably need a few weeks of perfect operation for me to be certain it's worked. If it starts playing up again I'll then start fiddling with the height of the copper hook. I also noticed that after removing and reapplying the teflon feet (with the same ones) that the mouse is sliding a lot smoother on my desk. So after this tune up I have a super quiet left click and super smooth motion , and possibly a fixed button - very happy! Especially considering logitech have discontinued the 602 and told me to get a refund from the retailer as they don't replace discontinued items under warranty. I wonder what they will be replacing the 602 with as there is no other mouse that satisfies the same battery life and 500hz criteria. Both of these are essential features to me so it will be super depressing if logitech don't come up with a successor. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed my novel :)

  • @Mrjeewoong
    @Mrjeewoong Před 2 lety

    I had the same problem and learned a hint from your video. I take your hint and take a simple trial without going through all the complex and difficult detailed work as you did. This hint is that the very little hook needed to be flattened to fix the problem. So, this is what I did and my mouse is working very well for the past two days. I pressed the left button real hard and held it down for a while hoping it will flatten it. I have no idea if it did, but now I do not have the double clicking problem at least for the past two days.

  • @kkhalifah1019
    @kkhalifah1019 Před 7 lety +71

    I have this mouse -- not only it developed the double-clicking problem, it had also developed a click-drag problem (basically I could not click and drag any window on the desktop).
    I put a bit of upward pressure on the left mouse button, blew hard into the gap underneath a few times. Voila! Works like new again! Didn't even need a screwdriver.
    Moral of the story: Stick to cheap basic mice coz they tend to be more reliable than these newfangled gaming mice whose left button can't even click properly.

    • @shaundehoog8283
      @shaundehoog8283 Před 7 lety +3

      Mine is doing EXACTLY this, and I do the same you do (pressure and blow) and it works for 30min, then it's screwed again. Really REALLY irritated now, and mouse is JUST out of warranty, so Logitech won't replace it.
      @ShadowTracer - thanks for the vid, very informative :)
      I have read the comments however, and see that putting the copper plate back is a bit of a worry, so not sure if I will attempt this. Thanks anyway :)

    And....Sorry dude, but it feels just like a bad joke that of all the most difficult part of the whole re-assembly is missing on your video. I thin k everyone wants to know how you put the little metal plate back into the switch. I want to see it!! because that is, like you said so often before, really terrifying!!
    1:30 minutes about removing 6 screws but nothing about that really important step, which your viewers what they need to see.

    Thanks for this, just needed to learn how to take it apart so that I could replace the middle button switch. Also, if you take off your mouse feet carefully enough you can reuse them. They're not gonna look as good and even as before you took them off, but the mouse feels essentially the same with them nonetheless.

  • @emanueleforte6984

    The hardest part was putting back the spring ... took like 1 hour and after checking multiple sites : some said the spring needed to be more ROUNDED, in this video it said more FLATTEN. In fact it's both: it needs to be more rounded but being flatten enough to fit the hook in the center of the spring. Anyways, worked, let's see how long it will worked.

  • @cricodul
    @cricodul Před 7 lety +1

    Awesome tutorial. Altho I didn't have the issue you had after because probably I first bent the metal slightly on the part where the white button comes in contact with it(I bent it upwards counteracting the push of the white button) and then proceeded to "straightening" out the curved part of the metal which you mentioned.

    @TheCCallaway Před 7 lety +4

    SOLVED: First of all, thank you for this video, as it helped me get most of the steps to solve my left mouse click problem. I had noticed that when playing games, click-hold actions with the left mouse button yielded a choppy movement pattern which made me decide to tackle the problem.
    To fix the mouse without replacing the button, I followed all your instruction until the point where you "straightened" the copper piece. Instead of straightening it, I removed it, and placed it as back on as high as possible on the frame and made sure it was secure in place. After making sure it was properly centered, I put the cover back in place. I tested it with my game for a quite a bit and can confirm that it is working like new now. So the KEY here was to remove the copper (flat) piece and place it back on the frame as high as possible. I hope this helps a little (and makes sense) :)
    One more thing: instead of purchasing the rubber "feet", I stuck my old ones back on, and that seems to be holding strong... one way to save $8

  • @radio_obscura
    @radio_obscura Před rokem

    First of all, there's a typo in your title! (It should say double-click)
    Thank you so much for your video. I hope all people who are considering "upgrading" to the G604 find this. That mouse is truly awful, and now I have so many old G602s to get back to working order. In my case, I didn't really intentionally bend the little metal piece. Instead, I cleaned it with my ancient Radio Shack contact cleaner. I also didn't bother disconnecting that ribbon cable and just was careful with it. Unlike other commenters, I couldn't really see any discoloration on the metal thingie, but it worked. But it's a PITA to get that thing out and to put it back in, especially if your hands shake like me. So next time, I will just use a Q-Tip or something to carefully apply the contact cleaner to it without removing it.
    Also, I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the switch cover off because it's not that clear in videos. There's a tiny, little gap along the vertical corner that you can stick a small object into. I had a pair of extremely fine tweezers from an acne extraction kit, and those worked great for both that and removing/replacing the gold thingie (don't worry, they were never used for their intended purpose, lol.) Also, I put a Band-Aid (couldn't find tape) on top of the switch cover to keep the white button in place during removal and reseating. Hope this helps someone!

    The part number for the switch is D2FC-F-7N. It is a COM-NO micro switch with pin spacing of 5.08mm. The D2FC-F-7N appears to be obsolete. I don't recommend buying from non-franchise distributors as the chances of it being counterfeit are very high. The D2FS-F-N is in stock at franchised distributors, i.e. Digikey, Mouser, Allied, etc, and has the same layout, making it a drop in replacement. Instead of mucking about disassembling a micro switch, just buy new switches and replace them. It is far easier and cheaper.

    I have a non-functional G602 that stopped working soon after buying and I never contacted Logitech, and another G602 that I use for my regular PC which has just recently started to give me double clicks, intermittently. I'm pulling a switch off the non-functioning mouse, but getting all three of those legs unsoldered to remove the switch from my spare mouse is challenging.

    I actually had the problem with not DOUBLE CLICKING but When holding down click it interrupts and then connects again. So for example holding and dragging when drawing a straight line in paint you would instead get 5-10 mini lines. I have cleaned the little metal plate with some alcohol because it had a white coating on the place it makes contact. Works like a charm now

    Mine doesn’t register as a double click when I left click once but a right click, anyone else have this problem? I can’t find anything about it online and it just started happening out of the blue last night. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, which proved difficult not being able to left click properly, but it did nothing. Even changed the batteries, not sure what I thought that’d do but hey, I don’t know what else to do.

    Just wanted to say this worked for me. Hardest part was replacing the small metal piece after adjusting it, but once it was put back together the left click i think is actually working better than ever. The click itself feels much more 'defined'. Double click, click-and-drag issues are gone. Doesn't appear to be any more sensitive as others have noted.
    Was it worth saving $35 bucks? Maybe, if you have patience and enjoy tinkering fixing this kid of thing.

    I have this same mouse and those "scratches" I think are just dead skin and oil buildup for your hands, and it looks pretty normal and uniform normally, until you take a fingernail to it and scrape at it, and it dislodges the gunk, making it visible.
    It's a good mouse, but I think I prefer glossy mice because it's both grippy and I can wipe off gunk with a dry finger and it comes off. Low maintenance that way. This G602 is high-maintenance when it comes to cleaning.

    Thanks for this. Getting the copper plate back in isn't easy. You need to slot the two ends under the retainers, then the copper loop under a third retainer by gently pressing on it.
    The click is not as hard and satisfying as when the mouse is new, but the double click is gone, and the mouse is working fine.

  • @martink2875
    @martink2875 Před 2 lety

    As Rutvik Panchal bellow has already hinted, +1 here for repairing the double-click issue just by clearing the gunk under the tiny clench-thingy that makes contact with the metal lamela you've unbent. Took me only a tiny screwdriver soaked in WD40. And yep, there was no need to remove nor bend the lamella.
    For the people who find it hard to remove the switch cover: Inspect the right mouse switch cover. It's "in the open", visible from all sides. There is a horizontal and vertical crevice. Insert a thin blade inside the vertical crevice (preferably the back one), push slightly away from the switch, and then then up. If you do it right, the cover pops up right away.
    Mouse click works just fine now, woe is me though. The cursor now shakes a bit all the time. I guess I must've polluted the laser refractor. Meh, going to unscrew again.
    ---
    Edit: Cleaned and repositioned the refractor, my G602 behaves like a new mouse, yay!

  • @TheInvisibleAssassin
    @TheInvisibleAssassin Před 2 lety +1

    FYI to anyone coming to fix their mouse, mine was suffering from an inability to click and hold. A single press down would register a double-click.
    If you have the same issue try this: After removing the top cover assembly, put the batteries back in and test the clicking by pushing on the physical switch. I found that my mouse was working just fine. I noticed that there was a groove in the plunger of the top assembly left mouse button. The repair kit I got had little shims included so I covered the groove with the shim, put the mouse back together and it works fine again! No de-soldering or other disassembly required.
    If this fix doesn't give me long-term success I'll come back and edit this comment. Cheers!

    For my mouse, the left click double clicks AND the middle button hardly ever works (to quick scroll up or down). For the middle button, I have to press it down hard. I've had it for 3 years, and thankfully I just recently moved from pc gaming to ps4 gaming. Solution? I'm just going to buy a M series logitech mouse like I had before. I really only wanted the G series for gaming. If you have the same issues, and still want to game on the pc, either buy another g602 or buy something from Logitech's M series. I actually own at least 3 other M series mice, and they work like a charm. One of them is currently replacing the g602 until I buy another.

    Interesting, my mouse just started developing this problem. It's not quite full blown bad, just occasionally doing it. It's my own fault tho. I sometimes smash the button when I'm raging in game and not even meaning to click, just upset, not often, but I did it a few times.
    Not even mad tho, this is a beautiful mouse. I've also had it for over 3 years now and this is the only problem I'm experiencing, also I've only changed the batteries like twice, maybe three times, but I game on it all the time, @least an hour or two most days.
    I think I'm just going to buy a new one when this one starts going really bad and buying the mouse feet pads and trying to repair this one as a back-up incase the new one acts up too.
    I really wish Logitech would release an updated version of this mouse with some new tech, maybe more durable parts (omron switch?). The design is just amazing for mobas (I play Smite, but came from LoL) and basically any game I've played it has enough buttons and awesome placement.

    After a lot of guess and try while my hand shaking (i'm not a surgeon!), I found that using a tool was not the best for me so I goes the same way presented in the video with my finger and then, most important after I get it in place, I had to push with a tool in the middle of the plate to drop the curved metal part in place and that's it!

    I succeeded perfectly my experience: you don't need new pads. The button plate placement is much more intricate than it looks, be prepared to fiddle allot there. There is actually notches where button plate is placed, use other button as a reference to place it right. ! EDIT NO BENDING NEEDED ! And maybe you actually need to bend it in opposite side, because look at how it works, you need more tension to stop double clicks, but be very gentle :] EDIT! Actually you don't need to remove that plate at all (Rutvik comment below) there is grease on the plate you need to clean, and yes i saw that grease and it was cleaned while i was fiddling with it :D

    Not only do I have the double click problem, sometimes it doesn't register left clicking at all. I was in a chat with logitech support for, I kid you not, a couple of hours, doing all sorts of click tests, and in the end they said "if there's not any other problems I wish you a good day", and I was like "YOU DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL!!!"
    This has seriously scarred my relationship with logitech, I've only had 3-4 mice in all my life as they all worked flawlessly for allmost a decade, but this mouse was malfunctioning after little more than a couple of years.
    Oh and am I the only one that has serious problems with the Logitech Gaming Software. It randomly doesn't open on boot, sometimes it opens two processes instead of one, and it evens defaults all my settings.

    After learning that there was a major defect with the G602 mouse causing it to double click, I went back and tried to contact customer service. This has been one of the worst customer service experience I have ever gone through! The first representative sent me to an empty line where I waited for 30 minutes just to hit a voice mail (the voice mail never got back to me). I called back and got a different representative, who went through the testing phase to determine whether it was my computer. After going through all of these steps, the Customer service representative had me fill out a form, and told me they would review and likely replace the product rather than attempting to repair it like so many Sony products would do.
    At this point I thought I had actually arrived at a good position, but I kept receiving E-mails asking me to provide videos with different lengths of the mouse not working. Eventually I figured out a good compression app for videos, and sent them a video of me clicking 100 times. After all of this, wasting hours on the phone and proving that indeed my mouse had this common defect, as well as linking this video to them, I got a response that said they couldn't replace the product because it was out of their warranty. I had given them the serial number, which is what they used to deny my claim, at the very start of this process. To make it all even worse, they tried to offer me a 30% off coupon, as if owning a defective product would make me want to buy a new one! It's not even a very good coupon considering the original product purchased was defective!
    I do not plan on purchasing another Logitech mouse, and am frankly disgusted.
