Corsair M65 middle mouse button failed

hughtrimble · 1 Feb 2016 at 17:54

Afternoon all,

I've had a Corsair M65 for under two years now, and today I've noticed the middle mouse button click now requires a substantial amount of force to get it to actually register.

Any tips on how to rectify this? I see it's a common hardware fault with them, but who knows, perhaps there's a trick to up its sensitivity that I'm unaware of and that you knowledgeable folk know about.

Any tips at all would be much appreciated.

Hugh

Silly question, but is it worth giving it a blast out with some compressed air to clean it, perhaps?

Not silly at all (at least I hope not, as I tried!).

No change, unfortunately, but thank you for the suggestion though.

If it's under two years still, rma it as they have a two year warranty. I rmad my first one due to that exact problem, have had my current one for almost three years now and no problems at all.

You're most welcome, they have an rma department in the Uk now, in Bolton I believe.

Grand, that sounds even more promising then.

I'll keep this updated on response times just in case others have similar issues in future.
