howto fix your 100 dollar mouse with a 2mm piece of paper. seriously this shouldn't be an issue in the first place wtf logitech
YES!! what a shame!!
@@noname583 thanks its work g603, i did it
If reading top comment you get it. You know 80000€ Cars have problems when you buy it brand new, how loud you gonna cry then? Manager from logitech explained that it wasnt their issue, it was factory sending them bad parts for scroll.
@@Xartto How is that not Logitechs issue? They are the ones selling bad quality mice to us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_assurance
whats worse is lower model logitech mouses also have the same issue. so they actually made defected units before and instead of fixing these simple issues they just made more new mouses with the same fucking problems.
Thanks for posting this. Just fixed my G703 and I hate that I didn't do this sooner. You know how frustrating it is if you use mouse wheel as jump or weapon swap.
That problem has been driving me nuts for a year now...Decided to give this video a go...Seriously? you are a god. It doesn't flinch...I've got my sanity back. Thank you sir.
I just finished my g703 teardown with this video, it perfectly works. thank you very much.
This is amazing, fixed my G603 following this video, now works almost perfectly, thank you!!!!
I owe you a beer. Freakin' legend, mate!
A good tip for anyone else doing this, buy a set of replacement pads for the bottom in advance.
Also, props to Logitech for making the mouse reasonably easy to disassemble. I've done this with a few of my mice now, and this was the only one that was utterly _simple._
5 years old and yet this video still helps people to this day. Just fixed mine and now it feels great! :D
Thank you man! Your way to fix this problem worked, Instead of paper, I used a small piece of rubber glove. Mouse G403.
Great tutorial! Thanks a bunch! With my scroller I realised that one of the pieces attached to the main part of the wheel had detached, so I superglued it back into place and the scrollers working perfectly fine now. Saved me £50 buying a new one, much love!
this is one of the best no nonsense guides ever THANK YOU
Thanks, worked for my G603 as well. As an added bonus the wheel feels a lot less floaty and has more "weight" behind every scroll step.
2 years and 5 months I've owned this mouse. BARELY out of warranty, super convenient for them so they don't have to replace it... Thanks for the help man!
You absolutely ROCK! Fixed my G 302 and My G 703 in under 5 minutes each. And every electronics company said they were not repairable.. hahaha...Super awesome.
This was a lifesaver! was getting super annoyed and searching online for a solution. Many, many thanks for this video!
I'm going to think twice about getting a Logitech peripheral, when it comes to replace my mouse.
hey just wanna thank you so much for this video. It worked like a gem. I love everything else about this mouse beside this scrolling wheel issues which also happened with my previous G703. Thanks!
worked like a charm on my g703. Brilliant! Thanks!
I was about to buy a replacement and instead came back to this video. The most difficult part was finding the correct size paper shim. Scroll wheel works beautifully now, even if it is a little stiffer to scroll. Thank you!
Honestly a hero move posting this. Saved me another 50e for a new mouse. Never thought that that small of a piece would fix that big of an inconvenience 👍
thanks man! I'm waiting since 2 weeks for my RMA and I was about to go crazy. This helped. I tried rubber, paper and kitchen roll paper. Normal paper worked best for me. Don't put it over the axis like a "cap", but instead push it into the hole (exactly like in the video) and place the paper beside the axis within the hole.
So you mean, push the paper together with the axis so it will make no gap in the hole? , its like tightening it?
@@meatunr Yes
the internet is a wonderful place to share knowledge like this, hats off to ya
Seriously man thank you! Works absoloutly fine now. Amazing.
Oh my God, this really worked. Thank you for this amazing fix!
It really works, I tried it with the sticky part of a post-it at first thinking it would help but it didn't, tried with normal paper next and it worked, definitely worth a try especially if you no longer have warranty
This fixed the obnoxiously loud, rattly scroll wheel on my g603. Highly recommend this guide.
Holy cow I cannot believe such a tiny piece of paper actually fixed this issue, thank you so much!! Fixed my G703 perfectly! Yes the scroll wheel is stiffer afterwards but IMHO it's not too stiff and honestly kinda nice. Thanks for the great video!
STIFF WHEEL AFTER THE FIX READ THIS: The stiffness is caused by pushing the little stem too deep into the groove after putting the piece of paper / plumbers tape / whatever , which causes the wheel supports to friction against the body. Just push the stem out just a tiny bit and the wheel should scroll freely after assembling.
This guide is a life saver, mouse was constantly scrolling the opposite way randomly but now after applying the paper it works perfectly.
What tool did you use?
Thank you so much! I fixed my scroll wheel according to yours demonstration~Mine damaged more serious than yours, the shaft was broken directly, then I glued them haha.. repaired a $200 mouse with $2.5glue. Logi really should improve the quality of the scroll wheel.
Logitech denied my warranty request today - I had nothing to lose, and this worked!!
Thank you very much for posting. Fixed it just in time for battlefield 2042 launch!
Same problem, gonna try this when I have time. Thank you for help sir.
literally done it the second after watching and the mouse works fine. thanks for the help
Thank you so much, I was losing my mind with the mouse wheel scrolling randomly up or down and generally not doing what I wanted it to. Now instead of replacing it I can use it for many more years to come!
Thanks for the video, helped me fix my G703 and saved me money!
Worked for me when the patch did not. Thank you very much. Logitech was no help with warranty as I did not have my receipt as this was a gift. I'm going to write them back and tell them how disappointed I am that a piece of paper helped more than they would.
Dude this fixed it instantly, it made my day! Thank you.
Scroll wheel issue started about a year ago but the firmware update fixed it for a while, came back this month and thought I would need to buy a new mouse but this has fixed it.
Hope it holds up for a while. Great video!
finally got a properly working scroll again. Many thanks for the video man
thanks to you i opened and fixed my issue both the plastics were broken on mine so hot glued the them to the wheel as a temporary fix till i buy a new one but with your video i felt confident to open it up and fix it thanks
cant believe this actually worked, i was getting ready to buy a new mouse. Thank you so much man!!!
Software update did not fix the problem, but this did! Great solution and it worked like a charm! Thanks a lot man!
i download the firmware update of the mouse itself, it fixed it instantly, no need to open your mouse like this idiot. support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g703-wireless-gaming-mouse/downloads
Firmware fix did not work on mine. Now also this hardware fix is not working either. Ah well, goodbye to Logitech. I'm done with their mice.
@@sdtrussell1473 Doesn't work for many people, including myself. This "idiot" simply knows more than you do and has a better solution. #DunningKruger
@@BigBadBrahd Christian Bradley omg. i didnt remember this problem because i fixed it long time ago and my mouse still run perfectly. You have guaratee wich you cancelled if you open the mouse so and it did'nt prove what so ever on how long his solution can last.
Works wonders. STIFF WHEEL AFTER THE FIX READ THIS: The stiffness is caused by pushing the little stem too deep into the groove after putting the piece of paper / plumbers tape / whatever , which causes the wheel supports to friction against the body. Just push the stem out just a tiny bit and the wheel should scroll freely after assembling.
This piece paper fixed my wheel and Still works flawless, thanks bro
Thank you a lot mate for your guidance video it was very helpful and well made!
OMG! this works for my G403, thank you!
This worked! Thanks for putting this out here. Also finding literally any information about this issue is really difficult, logitech knows they made a big mistake and they clearly don't want people to get this fixed..
OR most people dont have any issues and simply dont need to talk about it on the internet lol
That's how they can keep making money dude, like Microsoft....we are their cows, they just keep milking us and made us poorer and they are getting richer each day.
Holy this actually worked. Nice! Thanks for the instructions
Wow this fixed my scroll back issue where it would randomly scroll the opposite direction which was so annoying. Thank you so much!
I'm surprised that it worked.... especially since the mouse wasn't cheap. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
This helped me fix mine, thanks bro! 🙏
This seems to have fixed it for me. I had two(!) G703 starting to scroll in the opposite direction every now and then. I tried this on one, and after 5 minutes of usage I think the problem has finally gone away! Thank you so much for the straightforward video.
Thank you, this fixed my scroll wheel problem.
Omg well turns out the tiny plastic clear pole going thru the wheel snapped, so even tho my problem was a bit different, thanks SOOO much for showing me how to get there. I just had to gorilla glue it back on and now it works fine (it's a bit delicate however)!!! Thank you so much! Fr!
Bro, you're amazing. Thanks a lot!
Saved me from a lot of headache! Thanks!
lmao was gonna buy g903 due to the scroll wheel driving me nuts. this fixed it. thank you
>buys the 903 anyway
Hi, what kind of problem does this method fix? is it the random up and down scrolling?
@@prokariotik8984 Yep thats it
i have g903 and this happened to me....
scroll wheel still garbage. ended up with the g903. no issues there. shame
beauty! This fix worked like a charm, thanks
You, sir, are a prince amongst men. This was easy to follow, and seems to have fixed the scrolling issue for the moment. I'm not sure how long will it last, but it'd be easy enough to repeat this. Shame on Logitech for releasing such a faulty HW. The mouse broke down exactly 1 month after the end of warranty. Some engineer at Logitech got a raise for such precisely timed fail I guess :(
So far with this exact mouse, which I otherwise love, the left and/or right click switches I've repaired (soldered on new ones) 3 times in few years I've had it, and now this wheel thing. Glad to see it's working but this is shameful quality coming from a bran I had a lot of respect for. But at least you can hack it back together for a fraction of the cost :D
@@versusforward I know this is over a year old, but in case you read this: when I select text it often deselect itself again after I release the button, or it will just click and deselect while im still (under the assumption that I am) holding the mouse button. Is that the kind of issue you meant with the click switches?
I'm a total noob in this department so I'm not sure what the problem is, but I have both that issue and the scroll wheel issue and I'm wondering if I should just replace the whole mouse at this point. Fixing the scroll wheel looks simple in the video but I've never done soldering.
I could send it out for repair but research cost alone is 65 euros, 2/3rd of the mouse's cost. Can't imagine that the price for the actual repair would be worth it.
Thank you so much, was about to turf my mouse and buy a new one. wheels a little tighter than normal but no longer jumps, thanks heaps.
it worked, same with other people i was puzzled and was about to nuy a new mouse and then found this video, method still works! thank you
It worked like a charm, thanks for this video!
You're a funcking legend!! Thanks mate!
Thank you very much, it works perfectly! Firmware update to v14.2.7 had unfortunately brought only minimal improvement...
Thank you! It really works... I used a small piece of rubber glove too. Mouse G703.
Thank you! This was perfect, I saved $100 for adding in a piece of paper. What a deal!
It works perfect on G603!!! Thanks man !!!
this worked like a charm. ordinary paper will do. thanks for the tip.
It worked perfectly. Thank you!
I can confirm I have fixed my G403 wired using this method. Thanks!
it worked perfectly, thank you so much !
Fixed my g603. Thank you!!!
thx now i fixed my g703 this is amazing :)
Great tutorial, I used teflon tape and worked like a charm
Thank you so much! Much better, now it jumps only once or twice a day. Though the wheel feels now a bit more stiff.
I noticed the hexagon was covered in some glue as i pulled it out, so I wonder if replacing it with something stronger would also work... But i didn't try it, with my luck I would break it completely. Hell, I even managed to lose one of the botttom sliding paddings in the process.
yea the stuff is grease not glue. now that i think about it maybe a thicker grease might work? i did the paper whicjs works for now but if it happen again i might just try a very very little dab of hot glue on the shaft.
Logitech G703 ...it works! THX A LOT!!!!
One less thing to drive me crazy in this world! I agree with a comment below, for a premium mouse, this should not be a problem. Your video was awesome and to the point. Thank you!
Worked to repair my G603. The scroll issue was very frustrating zooming the opposite direction in Inventor. Much thanks to NsK's Tech.
Been 4 weeks and so far the fix is still working a charm. Im sure one day it will need to be readjusted but working well so far
it's work OMG unbelieveable!! thx bro :)
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the how-to and beautiful background music
Thank you for your help bro! It worked. I just wish it's not as stiff at it is now but that doesnt matter as long as the scroll wheel is fixed. Pretty annoying when it isnt.
STIFF WHEEL AFTER THE FIX READ THIS: The stiffness is caused by pushing the little stem too deep into the groove after putting the piece of paper / plumbers tape / whatever , which causes the wheel supports to friction against the body. Just push the stem out just a tiny bit and the wheel should scroll freely after assembling.
Worked for G603. Thank you!
Dude you a legend. You saved my mouse from being send back and probably thrown away by Logitech. It works again! I used small piece of ducktape instead of paper because it cant soften by the grease as much as paper would is my theory. Also you don't need to remove the battery. Thanks a lot, I hope it will last peace
they dont ask you to send it back. they will send you an OEM version if you are in warranty. same thing happened with my performance mx mouse.
That's true I didn't have to send back my G700s as well and they send me a G703
they just send you mouse, no need to pay for anything
This worked for me, thanks bro!
I also cleaned the mouse wheel axels and then gave them some fresh lube.
It works perfect!! Thanks a lot
WOW this really worked. You're awesome! Thank you so much!!
just did it to my G703 and it fixes the issue. thank you !!!
A little different take down on the 603 - but it works as well. Good lookin out!
Thanks man! It worked in G603 :D
It still occurs but not that often, thanks man, really helped
Try doing it again the first time i had it still occur but less second time I decided to try again it worked great no scroll issue anymore
It was so helpful, i did it and it worked! Thx
holy crap this worked on my G603. thanks a ton
works perfectly on the g603 thank you
Worked for me, awesome
For anyone like me having issues with separating the halves where they snap together at the front, a good wiggle and a reasonable amount of force was required to eventually get the halves apart.
Bought one of these from eBay with "scroll wheel issues" listed... 10min to teardown and insert the shim and it's as good as gold.
oh my god it worked, its still noticeable but not as bad, thanks!
Was gonna buy a new mouse when I figured I might aswell google a fix to my issue. You saved me €120, thanks :)
Works much better now, thank you very much!
Thank you so much, my scroll wheel work normally again👍👍👍👍💰
This also worked on a Prodigy 403. Exactly the same way.
thanx dude
Thanks! Really works. Used small piece of paper. The wheel becomes stiffer.
