Hello , I love my mouse mx logitec but it has this annoyign bug that after a while it get an infamous double click , no matter what and no matters to logitech how many customers referred about this issue , after some time it starts double clicking and its aboslutely annoying when working , I have changed it throught the warranty and now again the new mouse started to do this again after a few months , and since I already changed I can't change again ...

Now I would like to ask if do you guys know of a similar mouse per weight and freedoom to use, the number of buttons and precision , if more even better that I could buy to replace and be sure to not get that damn doubleclick?

probably a different brand is needd ... thanks for any sugestion .

    one of the reasons why I got a razer .

    The deathadder is standard mouse but if you need a load of buttons you could go for the Naga.

    Took me a while to get used to the razer after the mx as it's considerably lighter but after a few weeks you wont notice.

    cheers

    Razer mice are very accurate for 3D work :poly121: (16,000 DPI 5G laser sensor)

    "Furthermore, you can still use the Razer Mamba while it’s charging"

    go for it

    Yeah, I love Logitech mice, but for some reason their microswitches (even though they are the same ones used in Razer mice) always start double clicking or letting go when you try to drag and drop something after some time. You can fix them, but you have to solder new switches on.

    Mine almost always starts to double click just after my warranty runs out. Part of me thinks it's a planned obsolescence thing. Especially because it appears in almost every Logitech mouse.

    When mine starts acting weird I just smack it a few times (like an old NES) and it starts working correctly again :p

    At work I've recommended the Steelseries Sensei to lots of people and they all love it. Most end up buying a second one for home use like I did.

    Check out the video.

    Since I live and die on my computer as a software engineer I can tell you this, mouses die.
    In my experience after ~a year of heavy use logitech mouses just die. Learn to love it I guess, that's just how it goes. The G700S is a logical extension if you are looking for more buttons.

    Razer Deathadder, Logitech, E-blue.... All of them starts getting this double click issue which is usually related to a worn out trigger. It's weird that my old favourite Microsoft Explorer 3.0 could last for five years but these "gaming mice" can't even last one year. It's kinda ironic. I first bought two Razer Deathadders at the same time, one for work and one for home. Both broke down at the same time, double clicking. I repeated the same thing but with the E-blue, same issues again! It's hard not to think like a conspiracy theorist and wonder if they intentionally produce weak components to make them break down faster.

    I'm now on a Roccat Savu mouse and I hope it will last...

    odd i got a 6 year old mx518, still no problems. no double click issues, the really the only issue i got is the pads on the bottom are almost completely worn out.

    Before buying a new one, try open it, and straightening the small copper clip that's inside the button mechanism, shoot some photos of the components before removing them to see how they were positioned, and take a look at the RMB too for reference.


    I followed this video and got the LMB functioning again:

    Compare the sound the button makes with the working one to be sure to have fixed the problem correctly, it requires some time, but then you have your mouse working as it was new.

    It is a delicate operation, you may end up with the LMB stuck or clicking in a weird delayed way, so be careful.

    Edit:

    Another thing I just remembered, you don't necessarily need to remove the copper clip, with a small object, like a screwdriver you can apply some pressure on the part that is bended to straighten it again.
