Favourite mouse - double click issue

[413x]

My trusty g700 has the dreaded double click issue.

Is there any way at to fix this? There's no other mouse I really want!

I know there are software options, but I use this on a work pc too. So that isn't an option

Dang, looks like it's a pretty known issue :/ there are a few videos on youtube with potential fixes, best of luck my dude

Replace the switch? I presume it's a stock Omron of some kind.

My MX500 did this a month or so ago, lasted about a week and then it stopped. Shift + arrow key is one workaround for selecting text. The scroll wheel stops working occasionally too, it's getting old like me

Remember my beloved old g7 wireless getting that
Vaguely recollect taking it apart and bending the bit of copper inside the switch a tiny bit
Very fiddly from my memory of it

In the past I've bought omron microswitches for a few quid on eBay and soldered them on. You'll need a soldering iron and a desoldering pump (or a desoldering wire). It's pretty easy to do, as long as you can get the mouse apart safely

The switch you typically find in mice are d2fc-f-7n.. try to get the 20m click variant (or higher) if possible.

Yeah I don't have a soldering iron unfortunatel

Some it the videos have no solder options may give it a g . Never wanted to fix broken tech before
