@@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.
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!
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.
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.
Finally! Not a duct tape solution........................... I use a Razer Mambe TE and I had issues click and dragging. Would unclick and click again rapidly depending on how much pressure I was putting. Just opened the small switch box to see if anything was unsual - now that I know what to look for (thanks to you). After a brief inspection I figured nothing was wrong with it and tried installing the plastic button the other way around instead. It now feels brand new. Thank you, once again!
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!
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.
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)
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 👌👌
Mine had problems of double clicking at once and having to press harder to do the hold action. Did everything according to this video and now my mouse's button works like new. Thanks a lot dude!
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)
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!
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!
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.
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!
An excellent video, thank you. I've just repaired an old Logitech V550 Nano mouse that had a double click issue. I followed the suggested method of removing and reshaping the fine spring and found this to be a very difficult exercise. In addition I took a small strip of clean printer paper (80 gm hence a little stiff) and slid it back and forth between the microswitch contacts (See 6:48). This was sufficient to visibly remove some dark oxide. Upon reassembly the mouse worked perfectly.
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!
Wow, your Video is very high quality. I had this issue for 1 month already, I just didn't want to take apart my mouse. But then while playing games and just using Windows, I noticed it even more, and just had to fix it. So I tried it, and so far, *no more double clicks!* Thanks for this Video!
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.
throwing?hell no old technology is way better keyboard is 25+years old. new ones dont work good i type O or W.. some keys cant be typed same times as other keys.. and it costs money idk how those americans keep throwing stuff away
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
This is fantastic. I saw a few other videos on this topic with a feeble explanation on how to do it and poor camerawork. This video has some amazing close up shots and detailed explanation of what the problem is and how to fix it. 10/10 would fix my own mouse again.
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 😂
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! This video has saved my mouse twice now, first from the double click on the right button and then now with the left button. The first time around, I reshaped the little metal spring and it has been working great ever since. With the left button, I tried to do the same, though ended up breaking the spring. I salvaged another button from another mouse (different model, so different springs) and soldered it, just like in the video. My mouse now works beautifully :)
If I wanted to fix a problem with an old or just dirty USB mouse this is the video I would come to. Very detailed and potentially a profitable fix for more expensive hardware used in less than clean environments. Roller ball was easier to see, this is basically the same problem just at a smaller scale.
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!
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.
Beautiful. For me, my tweezers did not have great grip at the tip. So, while taking out the spring was easy, putting it back after sanding and re-tensioning was terribly hard.
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!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a nice video! so well done! and most better it made me repair my Logitech G100s, i was for an hour trying to put these **** string and ah, almost drove me crazy men! But, i decide to replace it with another piece from a mouse that i had lying around, the only "problem", is that the replace is too noisy but, it works flawlessly! So, please keep going with this kind of production, i think as other said that this is a exceptional video, i haven´t seen anither like yours in a long time... well again, thanks a lot!
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.
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.
For those who're not much of instruction follower and does things abruptly, I recommend to follow all of these steps presented in the video. Have some patience and just follow the video. Set up the tools needed (All of them don't need to be the exact tools used in the video but resembles the work the tools are used for) and make sure to box in all of the things for procedure in order to avoid messy and destructive process of repairing the mouse switch. Lit the area to the brightest as much as possible for locating the parts easier. This video is all you need to fix your mouse switch, it's about half an hour to 40 minutes procedure for me, but it could be less to you if you actually know what you're doing.
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...
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.
I fixed it thanks to you! I'm using an old razer naga left handed, cant find a decent left handed mouse with lots of buttons so needed this repair. thanks a lot for making this
👌👌👌👌👌Really , that's a great video . It's so much useful . 😍. Nicely explained .👌 Great camera zoom to show small part . Excellent job . Thank you so much 🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️❣️❣️🥰❣️
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
Thanks bro it helped me a lot (I had a new Logitech g502 hero and in this lockdown I was unable to change it so I just replaced the spring from a button that I don’t use much and now it’s working fine )
Hello And for they new mouses , like Razer ? The system is totally different.. And im trying to check i dont see any explanation or video on ethernet about it.
I did it on my Logitech G203. It's not double clicking anymore (so far). Click feels a little stiffer, the only problem I got is that the skates won't stick anymore, I will have to buy new ones. Great video!
Bought a logitech gaming mouse for my brother about 6 months ago and it already has the issue. Logitech support is taking super long to reply, so if they don't let us return it I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the video
Just did this, thank you. First one was quite easy, in the second switch I've ended up breaking two springs and had to settle for one that I've just bent :(
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.
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.
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.
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?

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.
This is such a well made video, nicely explained, camera zoom to show little parts, relaxing music. Excellent job.
Excellent 👌👍
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! ;)
The way you made this video is amazing. The camera angles, visuals, and specific steps make tutorials like these VERY HELPFUL. Keep up the great work!
This was 1,000,000 X more helpful than all the other videos.

This is the best narration-free instructional video I've ever watched, on any subject. It's a work of art.
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.
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.
Total success I feel like a professional
Thank you so much now im up to fix my other mouses
Little fighter 2 fan
Finally! Not a duct tape solution........................... I use a Razer Mambe TE and I had issues click and dragging. Would unclick and click again rapidly depending on how much pressure I was putting. Just opened the small switch box to see if anything was unsual - now that I know what to look for (thanks to you). After a brief inspection I figured nothing was wrong with it and tried installing the plastic button the other way around instead. It now feels brand new. Thank you, once again!
The explanation of positioning of spring was absolutely brilliant. Well done sir.
This is so well detailed I could open up a mouse repair shop from it. Thanks man!
even though there's no voice, the high quality zooming to take a good look at all the little pieces really helps, thanks for this

Worked properly! Didn't even need to replace anything, just moved the spring part a bit and the mouse is all right again.
Nice, its how I tend to like to fix things, take them apart and fix them rather than buy whole new mouse, etc.

Nice and meticulous job. It is master level. Presentation is excellent. Thanks for sharing such a quality work.
Fixed my favourite old alienware mouse. Thank you so much for this highly comprehensive video!
YESSS you saved my mouse. I just scratched the contacts a litte bit with some fine sandpaper. So glad I clicked, epic thanks
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.
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.
Gotta admire the quality of the tutorial. Thanks !
Thanks to this guy. I fixed my steelseries rival 310. Quite hard but satisfied. Luked your vid
Superb video...with tips and edited with instructions...mouse is working perfectly now🙏👍🏻👏👌
For those who're not much of instruction follower and does things abruptly, I recommend to follow all of these steps presented in the video. Have some patience and just follow the video. Set up the tools needed (All of them don't need to be the exact tools used in the video but resembles the work the tools are used for) and make sure to box in all of the things for procedure in order to avoid messy and destructive process of repairing the mouse switch. Lit the area to the brightest as much as possible for locating the parts easier. This video is all you need to fix your mouse switch, it's about half an hour to 40 minutes procedure for me, but it could be less to you if you actually know what you're doing.
Holly shi/ this is the best image video DIY i've even seen!
Thank you,
struggled to put the spring back in, but now my old ikari mouse is fixed :)
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...
Just subscribed , love your content , greetings from Spain
Can you clean the copper spring with a cotton bud and a little alcohol if you don't have sandpaper?
this video clip really is a total solution, many thanks for your effort, great job!!
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.
I've just finished reparing my kone pure's right click,thanks you so much!!!!
I fixed it thanks to you! I'm using an old razer naga left handed, cant find a decent left handed mouse with lots of buttons so needed this repair. thanks a lot for making this
Amazing guide. Just fixed my G703 left switch without soldering.
Great video, but what is the best way to remove the rubber covering the screw. I don't want to break it you know.
OMG thank you so much, I've met the double-click trouble twice and always thought that it was virus problem, now i can solve this trouble :3
Is there a software-wise solution?
For example, scripts that ignore additional clicks if they are inputed within certain interval after last click.
What kind of camera do you use for shooting? Thanks
👌👌👌👌👌Really , that's a great video .
It's so much useful . 😍. Nicely explained .👌 Great camera zoom to show small part .
Excellent job . Thank you so much 🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️🥰🥰❣️❣️❣️🥰❣️
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
Thanks bro it helped me a lot
(I had a new Logitech g502 hero and in this lockdown I was unable to change it so I just replaced the spring from a button that I don’t use much and now it’s working fine )
They *LOOK SO BIG* in the VIDEO, when I took them out they were like some tiny leftover in Lay's
Hello
And for they new mouses , like Razer ? The system is totally different.. And im trying to check i dont see any explanation or video on ethernet about it.
so the gap between the spring has to be smaller or bigger?
I did it on my Logitech G203. It's not double clicking anymore (so far).
Click feels a little stiffer, the only problem I got is that the skates won't stick anymore, I will have to buy new ones.
Great video!
I did what you did
It took me almost an hour and a few vocal chords but it works a-ok now
Thanks\
Bought a logitech gaming mouse for my brother about 6 months ago and it already has the issue. Logitech support is taking super long to reply, so if they don't let us return it I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the video
Just did this, thank you. First one was quite easy, in the second switch I've ended up breaking two springs and had to settle for one that I've just bent :(
Fantastic video! I can't imagine how long it took to take these shots. Thank you so much for sharing. My mouse is fixed!
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.
The whole mouse? Or just the switch?
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.
