@@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 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!
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.
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.
This is the best of these mouse switch repair videos on CZcams. 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".
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!
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)
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)
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.
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 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!
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 👌👌
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!
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.
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.
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!
Last week i fix my mose too but i recomend use eraser (rubber) with fiberglass (contain very fine glass fiber). Because 600 grit sandpaper to large for polishing soft metal used in microswitch contact pad.
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!
throwing?hell no old technology is way better keyboard is 25+years old. new ones dont work good i type O or W.. some keys cant be typed same times as other keys.. and it costs money idk how those americans keep throwing stuff away
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!
it took 3 hours, i bleeded several times because i only had some safety pins and a rusty pair of nail scissors as tools. But i did it! Thanks for showing how it's done (with proper tools though, much less pain in the *ss)
my logitech g302 had a double clicking problem for the last 6 months (i've owned it for 5 years now) and its been driving me crazy. after watching this video i read a forum post about how simply blowing into the gap of the mouse could fix the problem. i tried it and lord behold it actually worked...
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.
Daedalus G302 was my go to mouse for the past 8-9 years , had 4 of them , as theyd get the double click quite often , but they were cheap so , id just buy a new one. But once i threw one of the mice into isopropyl alcohol and let it dip in a liter of the stuff for a couple hours. Worked as well as news afterwards.
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
yea, that's the only 2 choices we have: either do it yourself, or go buy new one .. in 99% of all cases, people go buy new one. and this is how money is made.......
For those who're not much of instruction follower and does things abruptly, I recommend to follow all of these steps presented in the video. Have some patience and just follow the video. Set up the tools needed (All of them don't need to be the exact tools used in the video but resembles the work the tools are used for) and make sure to box in all of the things for procedure in order to avoid messy and destructive process of repairing the mouse switch. Lit the area to the brightest as much as possible for locating the parts easier. This video is all you need to fix your mouse switch, it's about half an hour to 40 minutes procedure for me, but it could be less to you if you actually know what you're doing.
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!
Best tutorial ever, in some days I'll try this. Will report how it went. Edit: forgot to write how it went. Well it fixed it ofc. Worked like a charm. :) Perfect video with the closeups, leaving no questions open! But beware: This spring is REALLY tiny irl, I was actually shocked at how tiny it is 😂
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.
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.
And last, as my conclusion and advice, if it's your first time trying to fix this kind of switch and you have access to soldering tools and you can buy new switches, I would recommend that you just replace the entire switch. Or you might want to train on the switch of an old mouse before proceeding on your expensive mouse. But once you have done it several time successfully, when you get used to it, replacing the spring might take 10 min and is not too risky anymore, so in this case it's easier and cheaper than replacing the whole switch. I think having good tweezers with a non slippery surface is a must (I have very good ones at my company but it wasn't the case this weekend...). Or maybe pliers like those @2:35 although I wonder how you can do such precision work with this rather big tool. By the way I'm not a native english speaker so maybe the tool names or other words are wrong.
Bought a logitech gaming mouse for my brother about 6 months ago and it already has the issue. Logitech support is taking super long to reply, so if they don't let us return it I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the video
I have a Logitech VX Nano, the best mouse ever, and they are not made anymore, I see new old stock for $200plus, I want to fix mine, I already ordered 5 omicron microswitches online, i will replace the spring only not the whole switch, By far the best video explaining what is going on with the double clicking thanks
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.
I did it on my Logitech G203. It's not double clicking anymore (so far). Click feels a little stiffer, the only problem I got is that the skates won't stick anymore, I will have to buy new ones. Great video!
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!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is a great video and should be near the top of google results. Some guides also suggest switching the middle mouse clicker with the left mouse, but that requires some soldering. What camera do you use to get such clear footage up close? Edit: I took apart my mouse and removed the cover on the clicker so that I could see that copper switch 2:28. The copper wasn't very dirty or worn, and it didn't look like it was doing a double click. I cleaned out some hair and dirty, then once I put it back together it had stopped doing the double click (didn't do any sanding or bending of the switch). So it seems like the mouse just needed a bit of a clean out.
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 :)
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 wonder if all switches in the same mouse are the same. Then we can take a good spring from another less-often used switch/button. We can try to bend the bad one still, but use it on the less often-used button in case it doesn't work. (My Logitech 502 has 7 buttons.)
while you can do this, blowing into the seems on the button that multi clicks while spamming it removed alot of gunk in there and while its not a 100% fix and the spring still might be "lazy" it helps alot! if you dont wanna pull it apart, tho at some point you may want to switch the switch (pun intented) or the spring for that matter
Just did this, thank you. First one was quite easy, in the second switch I've ended up breaking two springs and had to settle for one that I've just bent :(
So it's a mechanical failure and can't be solved by spraying some good amount of contact cleaner right? Thanks for the guide, I think I don't have the dexterity to attempt this fix.
Having seen this, I will try that the next time I have the double click problem.Instead, I used a dropper to put a drop of isopropyl alcohol into the switch and then use a desoldering tool to vacuum the alcohol out. I repeated it twice more just in case. When this no longer works, I will pry my switch open, as described. I am terrible prying stuff open, and sometimes thing break.
Tried to like your video but the damn double-click kept taking it back.
LOL
because the button's plastic parts are damaged. Happened to me 2. its not always about just the switch
@@Betonoszlop It stopped happening to me. I took a vacuum cleaner to the mouse and cleaned it a little. dont know if thats why but its fixed now

@@AndreeArdiansjah hi
Indeed, this man is awesome!
Don't forget to click like! I mean single click, don't double click if you have a faulty mouse switch! ;)

even though there's no voice, the high quality zooming to take a good look at all the little pieces really helps, thanks for this
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!
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.
Can relate. Took the left click cover off, and both the spring and white piece went flying off. I'm just gonna buy another mouse tomorrow lol
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.

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.

This dude is the BOMB! Doesn't even need to speak to be able to help us plebs 🤣
You make it look so easy but I've tried this same repair and it damn near drove me to madness.

Bought a logitech gaming mouse for my brother about 6 months ago and it already has the issue. Logitech support is taking super long to reply, so if they don't let us return it I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the video
I have a Logitech VX Nano, the best mouse ever, and they are not made anymore, I see new old stock for $200plus, I want to fix mine, I already ordered 5 omicron microswitches online, i will replace the spring only not the whole switch, By far the best video explaining what is going on with the double clicking thanks
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.
I did it on my Logitech G203. It's not double clicking anymore (so far).
Click feels a little stiffer, the only problem I got is that the skates won't stick anymore, I will have to buy new ones.
Great video!
Well the parts looked way larger in the video than in person, but I made it through and all works now, thanks!
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!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
never knew fixing it was this easy, you just helped me fix my Logitech m705 instead of buying a new one
thanks a lot
This is a great video and should be near the top of google results. Some guides also suggest switching the middle mouse clicker with the left mouse, but that requires some soldering.
What camera do you use to get such clear footage up close?
Edit: I took apart my mouse and removed the cover on the clicker so that I could see that copper switch 2:28. The copper wasn't very dirty or worn, and it didn't look like it was doing a double click. I cleaned out some hair and dirty, then once I put it back together it had stopped doing the double click (didn't do any sanding or bending of the switch). So it seems like the mouse just needed a bit of a clean out.
Nice and meticulous job. It is master level. Presentation is excellent. Thanks for sharing such a quality work.
I swap the left button for the middle one. But your video is much better.
I used dead mouse and fixed my mouse. Thank you man.
Thank you so much dude, you saved my kone aimo and me 80 bucks. Perfectly explained, took me 10 minutes and works like new
This is what happens when you ask a rocket scientist to fix your mouse.
Fantastic video, thank you.
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 :)
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!
Just subscribed , love your content , greetings from Spain
We *need* a _scroll wheel_ documentary!! Pleaaase!! =)
Fixed my favourite old alienware mouse. Thank you so much for this highly comprehensive video!
YESSS you saved my mouse. I just scratched the contacts a litte bit with some fine sandpaper. So glad I clicked, epic thanks
I wonder if all switches in the same mouse are the same. Then we can take a good spring from another less-often used switch/button. We can try to bend the bad one still, but use it on the less often-used button in case it doesn't work. (My Logitech 502 has 7 buttons.)
By far the best tutorial I've ever seen, Keep up the good work.
while you can do this, blowing into the seems on the button that multi clicks while spamming it removed alot of gunk in there and while its not a 100% fix and the spring still might be "lazy" it helps alot! if you dont wanna pull it apart, tho at some point you may want to switch the switch (pun intented) or the spring for that matter
Hi, thanks for this perfect video. İt was so usefull.
this video clip really is a total solution, many thanks for your effort, great job!!
Amazing guide. Just fixed my G703 left switch without soldering.
Thank you,
struggled to put the spring back in, but now my old ikari mouse is fixed :)
Just did this, thank you. First one was quite easy, in the second switch I've ended up breaking two springs and had to settle for one that I've just bent :(
So it's a mechanical failure and can't be solved by spraying some good amount of contact cleaner right? Thanks for the guide, I think I don't have the dexterity to attempt this fix.
This excellent video almost made me try to fix my mouse. But I will throw it in the garbage and buy a new one.
Superb video...with tips and edited with instructions...mouse is working perfectly now🙏👍🏻👏👌
Is there a software-wise solution?
For example, scripts that ignore additional clicks if they are inputed within certain interval after last click.
What kind of camera do you use for shooting? Thanks
Having seen this, I will try that the next time I have the double click problem.Instead, I used a dropper to put a drop of isopropyl alcohol into the switch and then use a desoldering tool to vacuum the alcohol out. I repeated it twice more just in case. When this no longer works, I will pry my switch open, as described. I am terrible prying stuff open, and sometimes thing break.
Gotta admire the quality of the tutorial. Thanks !
I did what you did
It took me almost an hour and a few vocal chords but it works a-ok now
Thanks\
I've just finished reparing my kone pure's right click,thanks you so much!!!!
