There’s a tradeoff: you sacrifice performance. That being said, most people can stave off the ultimate replacement of their mouse. This is a hardware defect that only worsens over time. If you’re unwilling to do that, eventually you’ll need to replace the mouse. That requires some soldering, so isn’t for the faint of heart. You ultimately fix the problem by opening the mouse and swapping out the switches. The mouse registers two clicks, ergo the double click problem. Where the brass metal should pop fully back into place it instead bounces when it hits its new lower position and may touch the contact again. The switch, however, only needs to move part of that distance. When you click, the mouse buttons provide the same amount of travel–meaning that you’re still pressing the full movement of the switch. As a result, the switch sits much closer to the contact. Over time, repeated clicking flattens the curve of the brass metal. Pressing the switch makes it pivot on the fulcrum and touch the switch contact, completing the circuit and registering the click. You can see more about the switch issue in this YouTube video.įor a graphical representation of this issue, here’s a cutaway diagram of the inside of the switch.Ī curved piece of brass metal sits on the top. Logitech likely used these switches because they were in high supply or as a cost-saving measure. In fact, there are other more suitable switches for the left and right mouse buttons. You’ll notice that all of the other switches are Kalih-made. One of the main drawbacks of the G502 Hero–and other Logitech gaming mice as this is an almost universal problem across Logitech (and some non-Logitech) gaming mice–is their use of Omron switches for the left and right click buttons. Many others seem to agree with that sentiment, with the G502 Hero (the one you’ll see featured in this article) being one of the most popular gaming mice. I just personally haven’t used other mice. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t also highly recommend other mice–I 100% would and Logitech is in no way sponsoring that statement. For the past 10 years, I’ve primarily used Logitech mice for my main rig.

Logitech makes, in my opinion, excellent consumer-grade gaming and productivity mice. If you don’t want to replace the switches, the hardware will continue to degrade, so you’ll eventually need to replace your mouse.The only permanent solution to this problem is to replace the switches.You can implement workarounds in Windows to try and make the mouse workable, but eventually, the mouse will cease to work properly.The Logitech double-clicking issue is a hardware defect related to the type of Omron switches it uses for the left and right-click buttons.
