@@enzothatguy Should have done that to mine instead of buying a new one that guess what.. CAME with double click. Edit: I'm afraid of using the warranty and getting one that's even worse..
@@JonatasMonte So.. You had a mouse that worked fine but then it began double clicking and you bought a new one and it came with double click? Damn that sucks man but you gotta return it and get one that works.
Yes indeed. Very easy & intuitively understandable, while being detailed af. It's like when dad tries to make you really understand sth technical lol, just in video form, very well done.
I had that problem with a cheap usb mouse and with an “expensive” Logitech mx master. It’s dumb how Logitech used cheap micro switches on a professional line mouse
Well Omron is probably one of the best maker when it comes to switches though. There probably aren't many other micro switches available on the market for mice, I don't know tbh. Would be interesting to actually check other mouse makers. I have used Logitech mice for a decade (actually more but I dont have the older ones anymore) and my G5, G700s and G502 all have the same Omron D2FC-F-7N switches, although the G5 only use those for the left and right click, and not for the next/previous page buttons and DPI change buttons. Also on the G5 it's D2FC-F-7N (10M) so that might be a slightly different version, unless it's just because the G5 is pretty old (2008). The D2F-F featured on most of the video footage here is an older version, haven't seen it on any mouse so far.
I actually found the D2F-F on a cheap and quite old optical mouse in my office. The metal spring looks a bit bulkier than the one on the new switches, it looks way easier to replace than the new model.
I wonder if those old Omron D2F-F are still in use in other brands, or if all have been replaced by the new ones (D2FC-F-7N) that seem less reliable (I can't say for sure if they are, but they look bulkier)
Just a reminder: the pieces are teeny tiny, you REALLY NEED A WELL LIT AND CLEAR WORKING STATION WITH PREFERABLY A MAGNIFYING TOOL to see better. If you accidentally lost that 0.1-0.2 cm width plastic bit or put too much strength in to messing the copper piece, you'll easily fucked. I did a similar project before and boy it took me hours. The steps were that simple, but holy shit you really need to have the tools to do the job.
Tried fixing a logitech g102 yesterday, but was using some other video which had terrible camera angles and terrible instructions. I should've found this video sooner. Still. The copper part flew away when I tried to remove it, almost broke the pins on the mouse cable trying to disconnect it from pcb, spent hours trying to get the copper part in correct shape and then in the end applied too much pressure and broke it into half. Basically everything that could go wrong went wrong. Wasn't easy at all but i've learnt from my mistakes I feel and i've ordered a replacement switch. I'm probably going to take the copper spring from that and put it into my current mouse since I don't have sodder tools. I'm gonna try and learn to fix this mouse on my own. (Also sorry for replying to a 2 year old post)
yea, that's the only 2 choices we have: either do it yourself, or go buy new one .. in 99% of all cases, people go buy new one. and this is how money is made.......
This was 1,000,000 X more helpful than all the other videos. You actually opening up the mouse button and showing how it is supposed to function allowed me to fix my logitech M720 mouse that had the double click issue over a year ago. I have the same issue with the G903 mouse which I will go and fix too. Thanks!
Last week i fix my mose too but i recomend use eraser (rubber) with fiberglass (contain very fine glass fiber). Because 600 grit sandpaper to large for polishing soft metal used in microswitch contact pad.
It's astonishing how a macro lens can so fully illuminate the world of failing mouse parts. It's cool to see the wear and tear at such a high level of detail.
This is GOLD! I tried to fix my mouse and almost gave up at midway, then I found your video! So clear! Much better than any other videos, in which the youtubers' face took half of the screen! BTW, do you sell the camera used in this video? I'll buy it no matter how much it takes!
Wow.. Today if my mouse failed I don't even think about it and would buy a new one.. 20 years ago (yes, I'm old) I would tried to fix it. Why? Today electronic products are too cheap and hard to fix (this video says the opposite). 20 years ago the electronics were expensive and big enough to fix them yourself.
If you are using a basic mouse, that's the best move. When you invest a bit more into a higher-end (like a good Logitech) the repair is doable, especially if you are fond of a model that is discontinued.
How is G703/G903/G Pro wireless cheap compared to mices 20years ago? Logitech mices are probably the most expensive ones yet they fail in 3-6 months. I'd replace the switch rather than paying 200$ for G Pro every few months. The switch cost 1$ and u can buy one with 50m clicks rather than the 10M logitech is using for some weird reason (its obviouslly to make people buy new mice more often).
I am your new subscriber, came from one of your older soldering video. Only missing thing was subtitles or better explanations. Now you got that covered too!! Awesome! Keep up the good work!
fuck, gotta get a new mouse. i have to REALLY press on the left click, and when im playing cs or left 4 dead the automatic guns just stop in the middle of a firefight. moticed this when i was playing Left 4 Dead 2 Singleplayer. thought the mouse was just not registering. but it was actually the clicking switch. i was watching vids, id want to change quality but it would double click so i couldnt open the video settings. i played with its buttons all day yesterday, i pulled them out, put them back in, all night till 3am. and tommorow i did it one more time and thats when it got fucked. mine isnt old i just fucking deformed the micro switch with all that plug in - plug out action. it was a very chead mouse.
I have like this problem. But i got benefits from double click problem example like playing games that require a lot clicks dmr,pistols,hip fire repeatly gun. So i decide to buy new one for normal mouse😉
it took 3 hours, i bleeded several times because i only had some safety pins and a rusty pair of nail scissors as tools. But i did it! Thanks for showing how it's done (with proper tools though, much less pain in the *ss)
Thank you so much for this, I tried the first method where you don't replace your spring and just fine tune it and it worked perfectly. It's a little hard to do yourself though because the pieces are smaller than you expect but if you're willing to do it than buy a new mouse it works perfectly!
Excellent video! Now among all the approaches for fixing the double click issue, I personally prefers switch replacement by soldering, as this is the easiest method for those that are comfortable with soldering. I would recommend the de-soldering method in 8:56 but make sure you have solder sucker or de-soldering wick at hand.
Daedalus G302 was my go to mouse for the past 8-9 years , had 4 of them , as theyd get the double click quite often , but they were cheap so , id just buy a new one. But once i threw one of the mice into isopropyl alcohol and let it dip in a liter of the stuff for a couple hours. Worked as well as news afterwards.
This is a great video and should be near the top of google results. Some guides also suggest switching the middle mouse clicker with the left mouse, but that requires some soldering. What camera do you use to get such clear footage up close? Edit: I took apart my mouse and removed the cover on the clicker so that I could see that copper switch 2:28. The copper wasn't very dirty or worn, and it didn't look like it was doing a double click. I cleaned out some hair and dirty, then once I put it back together it had stopped doing the double click (didn't do any sanding or bending of the switch). So it seems like the mouse just needed a bit of a clean out.
Anyone been able to fix the doubleclick issue occurring with a brand new mouse? I can't tell what's wrong. Tried all kinds of things. It just randomly doubleclicks no matter what. With the black little click box open, if I press on the upper side of the copper spring, it never double clicks. But if I press on the backside of it, producing the normal click sound of a mouse, the doubleclick appears.. so it definitely has something to do with the spring slightly bouncing on the connection part.. or something like that. Just can't seem to solve it even after trying more than 20 times to pull it out and tweak various things.
I have a much easier way to fix any buttons including the power button of your smartphone. You need to drop a drop of mineral oil on the button contacts. The oil will prevent the formation of an oxide film and the button will function like new. You can use engine oil or any other liquid mineral oil used to lubricate mechanisms. This also works with volume control potentiometers in audio amplifiers.
This video is to fix Mice with double-click errors, where clicking once randomly does unintended double-clicks because of dirty or worn out spring in the button. Not to disable double-click
wow ..pin to pin ...1 2 3 step by step, zoom quality ...spring actions...100% ...even a non tech guy will just learn to repair things by your vedio bro ....it is so helpfull ...good work 👌👌
This is insane, this is the best tutorial ever to explain why and how to fix it. you made a realy realy nice job! For my part i got this problem but i simply bought a new mouse, exactly the same one. :D I saw your video only after. But now when my second same mouse will got problem too, i could try all this on my first one without risk to destroy my last one. Thank you!
Great analysis of the switches and soldering! I did not think they are so simple mechanically. It is a shame that so many relatively expensive mice from reputable vendors such as Logitech are frequently failing this way.
i knew how to fix it, but thank you for the explanation of why it happens! also do you know if i would need to do this often, my g903 has started playing up with double clicking and i cant rma it.
And last, as my conclusion and advice, if it's your first time trying to fix this kind of switch and you have access to soldering tools and you can buy new switches, I would recommend that you just replace the entire switch. Or you might want to train on the switch of an old mouse before proceeding on your expensive mouse. But once you have done it several time successfully, when you get used to it, replacing the spring might take 10 min and is not too risky anymore, so in this case it's easier and cheaper than replacing the whole switch. I think having good tweezers with a non slippery surface is a must (I have very good ones at my company but it wasn't the case this weekend...). Or maybe pliers like those @2:35 although I wonder how you can do such precision work with this rather big tool. By the way I'm not a native english speaker so maybe the tool names or other words are wrong.
I know this is 2 years old, but this does show to those who cannot solder cause of no instruments to do so(or are accident prone to burning themselves too many times), that it can be done. So thank you for this, I appreciate the videos, and keep up the good work with these.
I was expecting a really shitty how to that doesn't even work based on the thumbnail *WELL DAMN AM I WRONG* In that note: very nice video m8, keep up the good work!
The best explanation of double click nature! I just fixed my Logitech G203, but it now clicks a little bit harder than before :) Thank you for the video!
I have planned to repair my Logitech mr100, and I ordered replacement huano buttons. Though I would get the parts soon, I opened the button and repaired it today. Its a success and the button works like charm!
My problem is "different" because apparently it only happens IN WINDOWS 7!! Let me explain!! First UNDERSTAND I have a single mouse hooked to a KVM Switch.....so the mouse is actually being used on THREE computers all at once!!! Two of my computers are Windows 7 PCs that up until about a week or so ago WAS NOT "double clicking" every time I used this same mouse on them!! Where this gets strange IS the third computer on my KVM switch is a Ubuntu Linux based machine I have been using now for five years WITH this same mouse on the same KVM switch, since I built all these systems myself!! THIS is where I notice that the problem only happens on my Windows machines and never on my Linux computer though!! In short the only difference is that the other two machines are running Windows 7, and by selecting the other two computers they both see a "double click" (left click) when I am using the mouse ON THOSE MACHINES, when they are "switched on" through the KVM switch!!! Switching the KVM to the Linux machine and the mouse works like it should NORMALLY!! Without any problems what so ever!! AND I have double checked and double checked the mouse settings in BOTH of the windows computers, they are set to "Single click only" and nothing has changed in their settings!! But for some strange reason....the mouse STILL double clicks when and where I don't want it too, like when I am trying to drag and drop files or select multiple files to move and so on!!!
Best tutorial ever, in some days I'll try this. Will report how it went. Edit: forgot to write how it went. Well it fixed it ofc. Worked like a charm. :) Perfect video with the closeups, leaving no questions open! But beware: This spring is REALLY tiny irl, I was actually shocked at how tiny it is 😂
Why they are even allowed to sell junk like this? My mouse was double-clicking out of the box! Now even my latest mechanical keyboard does the same thing! Edit: The funny part is that my expensive Logitech mouse double-clicked out of the box but the cheapest I could find Logitech mouse doesn't. Go figure. Never expensive peripherals ever again.
My Logitech G102 mouse developed double clicks within 1 months of usage. Then I threw money on G502 Hero (not a cheap mouse)... and it developed double clicks after 8 months of usage. Now I just bought the cheapest mouse out of frustration - Xmate Zorro... and it has lasted me 2 years with NO DOUBLE CLICKS.... and still no issues as of this writing. Can anyone please explain what's going on?? Why expensive mouse go bad while cheap unknown brands do better job with durable clicks??
I found a fix you need to get autohotkey then make this script LButton:: If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 150) ;hyperclick Return Click Down KeyWait, LButton Click Up Return
I been having the same problem with my mouse and I only got it a few days ago. So when I found this video and looked inside the switch, I found one half of the spring was bent up. So I flattened it back down and now it stopped double clicking. Thank you.
Ok this is the first time I leave a comment on YT but man this save my life, well explained video I just finished fixing mine, it worked well after.. And some advice for the guys who are going to try it, if you don't have the tools/experience to work with small objects just go buy a new one, it took me 20 mins even I have good experience with such things, plus I ruined the plastic top part but luckily I have an old mouse that I used to replace it.. Good luck
was just trying it out, i bent the string so hard that it become perpendicular. Mange to bent it back to a curve line and put it back take forever BUT the double click it gone, it harder to press now(that 100% my false). Anyway thank, if it double again, i will buy a new omron switch from japan instead of china.
Good video, but I spent 200$ on a Logitech G903+pad... Just joustfind out after 4 months that is crap Chinese "quality"... and got the recommendation to watch this, yes right. Do not spend money on Logitech products, lately they are utter crap, the old but gold Logitech is gone, now is just a profit oriented company that makes their CRAP in China :/
I have the world of Warcraft legendary cataclysm mouse, from steel series. I love this mouse. Unfortunately they stopped making it. People that do have it have over priced it for a sack of money💰... I own 5 . I am very lucky to have found this video, seems like an easy repair for my five which each one have their own problems but all of them have the click issue. I believe.i can salvage one to keep on playing wow. I tried buying the night sword and the naga, and the g503. Which for me are horrible... Thanks for this video!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So it's a mechanical failure and can't be solved by spraying some good amount of contact cleaner right? Thanks for the guide, I think I don't have the dexterity to attempt this fix.
Thank you. I don't have any apropriate tools, but I could fix my logitech mouse switch left button. I think it will last more 5 years ahead Word of advice: Careful with the switch. It is very very tiny and you might break it easily. Need some patience without proper tools
I have a Logitech VX Nano, the best mouse ever, and they are not made anymore, I see new old stock for $200plus, I want to fix mine, I already ordered 5 omicron microswitches online, i will replace the spring only not the whole switch, By far the best video explaining what is going on with the double clicking thanks
amazing, thanks for your help, I was able to fix my Logitech g303! hopefully it will last for long time now (it didn't last more than 3 months originally)
my logitech g302 had a double clicking problem for the last 6 months (i've owned it for 5 years now) and its been driving me crazy. after watching this video i read a forum post about how simply blowing into the gap of the mouse could fix the problem. i tried it and lord behold it actually worked...
I have a really cheap chinese (but really cheap) mouse "brand new" and try to fix with your advise, I let all the spring almost flat and mounted again, with this the mouse stops to produce the damn double click for now. Thank you.
Tried to like your video but the damn double-click kept taking it back.
LOL
because the button's plastic parts are damaged. Happened to me 2. its not always about just the switch
@@Betonoszlop It stopped happening to me. I took a vacuum cleaner to the mouse and cleaned it a little. dont know if thats why but its fixed now
@@enzothatguy Should have done that to mine instead of buying a new one that guess what.. CAME with double click.

Agree with antonio..
@@AndreeArdiansjah hi
Indeed, this man is awesome!
Don't forget to click like! I mean single click, don't double click if you have a faulty mouse switch! ;)

Last week i fix my mose too but i recomend use eraser (rubber) with fiberglass (contain very fine glass fiber). Because 600 grit sandpaper to large for polishing soft metal used in microswitch contact pad.
I think depend on abrasion level of contact. For make flat surface, faster with sandpaper, if contact surface still good, so eraser rubber is best

You know if you didn’t want that mouse you could have just gaven it to me.
Thank you for the information.
Great analysis of the switches and soldering! I did not think they are so simple mechanically. It is a shame that so many relatively expensive mice from reputable vendors such as Logitech are frequently failing this way.
Used to be reputable
Thank you.. You saved my wallet bro!!
i knew how to fix it, but thank you for the explanation of why it happens! also do you know if i would need to do this often, my g903 has started playing up with double clicking and i cant rma it.
And last, as my conclusion and advice, if it's your first time trying to fix this kind of switch and you have access to soldering tools and you can buy new switches, I would recommend that you just replace the entire switch. Or you might want to train on the switch of an old mouse before proceeding on your expensive mouse.
But once you have done it several time successfully, when you get used to it, replacing the spring might take 10 min and is not too risky anymore, so in this case it's easier and cheaper than replacing the whole switch.
I think having good tweezers with a non slippery surface is a must (I have very good ones at my company but it wasn't the case this weekend...). Or maybe pliers like those @2:35 although I wonder how you can do such precision work with this rather big tool. By the way I'm not a native english speaker so maybe the tool names or other words are wrong.
I know this is 2 years old, but this does show to those who cannot solder cause of no instruments to do so(or are accident prone to burning themselves too many times), that it can be done. So thank you for this, I appreciate the videos, and keep up the good work with these.
So different switches have the same spring?
Mouse switches nowadays are already standardized, difference would probably miniscule
This, is art.
I'm finding a tutorial on how to make it double click not to fix it LMAO.
I want to make it double click for minecraft LOL
trust me. u will not like double click mouse
just write a macro. most mouse drivers for gaming mice allow you to write macros.
@@Griffin12536 I don't have money for a gaming mouse, My mouse is only $2 dollars LMAO
I was expecting a really shitty how to that doesn't even work based on the thumbnail
*WELL DAMN AM I WRONG*
In that note: very nice video m8, keep up the good work!
What camera are you using ? Is it a professional microscope ?
This is Amazing, a complete mouse switch repair/replace guide along with expert level soldering tips and tricks!!!!!!
hats off to this guy : )
👨💻ALL the Problem is slower d/click on settings 2 bars fixed it was on 4 and went chitty in games 👍 dont pull mouse apart WTF 🏴☠️🗯
not that easy, I pulled that bar to the slowest, still double clicking, you are lucky if you fixed it like that.
That was very good and helpful, thank you so much it solved my problem.
This video deserves oscar
You make it look like installing springs is actually easy. 🙄
Nah, I am just gonna get a new mouse, too much efforts. Good video though.
Thanks bro you explained very well keep it up 👍
You really love electronics
The best explanation of double click nature! I just fixed my Logitech G203, but it now clicks a little bit harder than before :) Thank you for the video!
how long did your mouse last before this problem occurred ?
I have planned to repair my Logitech mr100, and I ordered replacement huano buttons. Though I would get the parts soon, I opened the button and repaired it today. Its a success and the button works like charm!
My problem is "different" because apparently it only happens IN WINDOWS 7!! Let me explain!!
First UNDERSTAND I have a single mouse hooked to a KVM Switch.....so the mouse is actually being used on THREE computers all at once!!! Two of my computers are Windows 7 PCs that up until about a week or so ago WAS NOT "double clicking" every time I used this same mouse on them!! Where this gets strange IS the third computer on my KVM switch is a Ubuntu Linux based machine I have been using now for five years WITH this same mouse on the same KVM switch, since I built all these systems myself!! THIS is where I notice that the problem only happens on my Windows machines and never on my Linux computer though!! In short the only difference is that the other two machines are running Windows 7, and by selecting the other two computers they both see a "double click" (left click) when I am using the mouse ON THOSE MACHINES, when they are "switched on" through the KVM switch!!! Switching the KVM to the Linux machine and the mouse works like it should NORMALLY!! Without any problems what so ever!! AND I have double checked and double checked the mouse settings in BOTH of the windows computers, they are set to "Single click only" and nothing has changed in their settings!! But for some strange reason....the mouse STILL double clicks when and where I don't want it too, like when I am trying to drag and drop files or select multiple files to move and so on!!!
Best tutorial ever, in some days I'll try this. Will report how it went.
Edit: forgot to write how it went. Well it fixed it ofc. Worked like a charm. :)
Perfect video with the closeups, leaving no questions open! But beware: This spring is REALLY tiny irl, I was actually shocked at how tiny it is 😂
Why they are even allowed to sell junk like this? My mouse was double-clicking out of the box! Now even my latest mechanical keyboard does the same thing! Edit: The funny part is that my expensive Logitech mouse double-clicked out of the box but the cheapest I could find Logitech mouse doesn't. Go figure. Never expensive peripherals ever again.
My Logitech G102 mouse developed double clicks within 1 months of usage. Then I threw money on G502 Hero (not a cheap mouse)... and it developed double clicks after 8 months of usage. Now I just bought the cheapest mouse out of frustration - Xmate Zorro... and it has lasted me 2 years with NO DOUBLE CLICKS.... and still no issues as of this writing. Can anyone please explain what's going on?? Why expensive mouse go bad while cheap unknown brands do better job with durable clicks??
I found a fix you need to get autohotkey then make this script
LButton::
If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 150) ;hyperclick
Return
Click Down
KeyWait, LButton
Click Up
Return
I been having the same problem with my mouse and I only got it a few days ago. So when I found this video and looked inside the switch, I found one half of the spring was bent up. So I flattened it back down and now it stopped double clicking. Thank you.
Nice and meticulous job. It is master level. Presentation is excellent. Thanks for sharing such a quality work.
Ok this is the first time I leave a comment on YT but man this save my life, well explained video I just finished fixing mine, it worked well after..
And some advice for the guys who are going to try it, if you don't have the tools/experience to work with small objects just go buy a new one, it took me 20 mins even I have good experience with such things, plus I ruined the plastic top part but luckily I have an old mouse that I used to replace it.. Good luck
was just trying it out, i bent the string so hard that it become perpendicular. Mange to bent it back to a curve line and put it back take forever BUT the double click it gone, it harder to press now(that 100% my false). Anyway thank, if it double again, i will buy a new omron switch from japan instead of china.
Good video, but I spent 200$ on a Logitech G903+pad... Just joustfind out after 4 months that is crap Chinese "quality"... and got the recommendation to watch this, yes right.
Do not spend money on Logitech products, lately they are utter crap, the old but gold Logitech is gone, now is just a profit oriented company that makes their CRAP in China :/
I have the world of Warcraft legendary cataclysm mouse, from steel series. I love this mouse. Unfortunately they stopped making it. People that do have it have over priced it for a sack of money💰... I own 5 . I am very lucky to have found this video, seems like an easy repair for my five which each one have their own problems but all of them have the click issue. I believe.i can salvage one to keep on playing wow. I tried buying the night sword and the naga, and the g503. Which for me are horrible... Thanks for this video!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So it's a mechanical failure and can't be solved by spraying some good amount of contact cleaner right? Thanks for the guide, I think I don't have the dexterity to attempt this fix.
it's supposed to be a diy / tech video, but the later half has become almost artistic.
Thank you. I don't have any apropriate tools, but I could fix my logitech mouse switch left button. I think it will last more 5 years ahead
Word of advice: Careful with the switch. It is very very tiny and you might break it easily. Need some patience without proper tools
I have a Logitech VX Nano, the best mouse ever, and they are not made anymore, I see new old stock for $200plus, I want to fix mine, I already ordered 5 omicron microswitches online, i will replace the spring only not the whole switch, By far the best video explaining what is going on with the double clicking thanks
amazing, thanks for your help, I was able to fix my Logitech g303! hopefully it will last for long time now (it didn't last more than 3 months originally)
my logitech g302 had a double clicking problem for the last 6 months (i've owned it for 5 years now) and its been driving me crazy. after watching this video i read a forum post about how simply blowing into the gap of the mouse could fix the problem. i tried it and lord behold it actually worked...
I have a really cheap chinese (but really cheap) mouse "brand new" and try to fix with your advise, I let all the spring almost flat and mounted again, with this the mouse stops to produce the damn double click for now. Thank you.
