The mouse clicks twice instead of once - how to fix the microswitch? Logitech warranty and double click mouse Repair logitech double click mouse.

It is clear that we will not be repairing the click, but the Logitech MX Revolution mouse button, or rather the microphone that lies under it. The essence of the problem is that the click has become glitchy. Instead of a single click, when pressed, the button acted as a double click, or stuck, as if the long-released button remained pressed.

The mouse is good, very comfortable and expensive enough that you just throw it away and buy a new one. Therefore, at first there were experiments with reinstalling SetPoint of different versions, as a result of which it became finally clear that the problem was purely mechanical. Googling also confirmed the unfortunate fact of the weakness of the microphones in Logitech mice. Although, it’s worth noting that I’ve already had another copy of the previous top-end mouse from Logitech in extremely aggressive use mode for about 5 years now and there are no problems with the microphone.

Disassembling the mouse

To do this, you need to unscrew 4 bolts on its belly, which are hidden under the patches. Try to peel off the marks carefully. The adhesive layer stubbornly remains on the belly. And don’t bend them, if later there are creases on the patches, it will be difficult to straighten them out. After unscrewing the bolts, the top cover can be easily removed, but is connected to the bottom with a cable. The long cable does not interfere with the repair of the mic, but it can be disconnected if desired.

The ill-fated mikrik is in front of us

Model D2FC-F-7N. By the way, googling this number yielded several very interesting links. They will be at the end of the article. Off the top of my head, I couldn’t find these mics online in Moscow stores. They're on eBay for $3 a pair. Also, such microphones were used in other Logitech mice, so if you have a dead one lying around somewhere, you can unsolder the microphone from the old mouse and solder it into a new one.

I decided to disassemble the microphone

It's not difficult to do this. Using a thin screwdriver or knife, pry the lid off first from one side, then from the other, and remove the lid. When we remove the cover the button falls out. Try not to lose it. The long end of the button is inserted back into the lid.

The essence of the problem with a sticky button is that the tongue of this plastic gets tired. The plate must be removed, the tongue bent slightly and the plate inserted back.

The most difficult thing in the whole repair is just putting the record back. It is small, bends easily, you need to insert it so that there is tension so that the right end of the plate is pressed tightly against the upper contact on the right.

It took me about five minutes to disassemble the mouse, and about half an hour to install the plate for the first time. Then I took the mouse apart twice more to make the click more distinct. But in the end the mouse works. As a bonus, the click is quieter.

In conclusion, some useful links that helped me a lot.
I highly recommend looking at the links before starting the repair, especially in terms of bending the tongue.

Once upon a time, I bought a Logitech Performance MX mouse. I bought it at random because I liked the look. And it seemed to fit comfortably in my hand. And it turned out to be so successful that I used it for many years and knew no grief. I won’t say how much exactly. I remember that I bought at “White Wind”, which closed in the fall of 2014. And I seem to have made the purchase two years before, immediately taking both the K800 glowing keyboard and the G700 gaming mouse in reserve.

It seemed that the Performance MX was not going to be demolished. But about two weeks ago I started noticing double clicks. That is, just like a Gillette razor: I make one click, and the mouse makes two.

To be honest, I was depressed. Because I managed to buy a backup for my favorite K800 keyboard, just in case, but somehow it didn’t work out to get the exact same mouse. Others are a little different and less pleasing.

What to do? Run to the store for a new one? I complained about the problem on social networks, and then they told me that my problem was widespread. And it lies in the switch responsible for the button, where the contacts simply oxidize. If you clean them, everything will work like new. Because nothing else breaks in Performance MX.

This is a simple procedure, but it requires care and special tools. At a minimum, thin, grippy tweezers and a thin flat-head screwdriver. First you need to very carefully remove the Teflon pads on the bottom of the mouse, under which the screws are hidden. Care is very important because the pads are easy to damage and will not glide properly once you return them. However, you can buy spare ones on eBay. Left ones - 200 rubles each, original - for 1500.

When the mouse is disassembled, you will see two switches. They are the problem. The saddest thing is that this switch costs 20 cents with shipping, but it ruins a $100 mouse. The switch must be carefully opened (see instructions), clean the contacts with something sharp (the same screwdriver) and carefully return the thin “rocker arm” to its place. It took me about forty minutes.

And the problem disappeared! Double click no longer appears.

True, it seems that I was a little too clever with the “rocker arm”, as a result of which the click on the left button became a bit harsh. You can use it, but... not ideal. So I ordered new switches from eBay along with a set of stickers. When it arrives, I will resolder the switch.

But in general the problem can be solved quite easily. And taking into account the fact that nothing else breaks in this mouse at all, a penny repair can extend the service life very, very significantly.

Recently, my son Igor called from Prague; his expensive mouse had a double click and he needed to understand whether Logitech’s warranty on their product was still valid? The problem began to manifest itself six months ago, the Logitech Deadalus G302 mouse began to produce a double click instead of one left click.

At first, the double click showed itself infrequently, about 1 double out of 20 “single” ones, that is, in principle, it was not noticeable, but sometimes it was a little annoying. For example, when you want to move a file from one location to another, instead of “grabbing” the file, double-clicking it simply opens it. And okay, if this is a photo or a folder, but what if you are trying to transfer a shortcut to some Adobe SpeedGrade (a rather heavy program for video color correction)? Or you're editing a video and want to select a video track, but instead the mouse suddenly decides that you need to open this video file!

Yes, it sounds a little chaotic, and perhaps even incomprehensible, but just take my word for it, this is very similar to one of the manifestations of the Devil in our world. The sensations are comparable to the appearance of a sore somewhere on the edge of your tongue - you live in peace, not suspecting that such a splinter may appear in this place that will not allow you to live in peace for even a minute.

Double clicking is a progressive disease, and if it is not “cured” in time, it can progress to such an extent that the mental component of the owner (me) is also at risk. Today, double-clicking occurs with a frequency of approximately 1:1, and yes, I was not mistaken.

Above is a screenshot from a program that “artificially” canceled this second click, and it worked far from perfectly, but at least this way. I made a test 50 clicks on the desktop, and it gave these results. In practice, I have already noticed the appearance of the “quadruple click”.

In general, one day, not the most wonderful day, I freaked out very much and realized that I needed to do something about it. I’m the son of a techie, a man who can even solder a motherboard! I found a bunch of tutorials on the Internet that told me how and where to unscrew the bolts, what to bend, what to tear off, and I realized that the only items that looked like a micro-screwdriver in my dorm room were nail scissors. Unfortunately, the plan to cure the mouse failed.

A few days later I read on one well-known portal about Logitech technical support, they say Logitech’s warranty is something, they are so great, with just one message about some kind of malfunction they send you a new device without any additional payments and even (!) checks So I asked myself: “What will I lose if I write to them too?” And now the fun begins

Does the Logitech World Warranty work?

I am a Russian student in the Czech Republic, originally from Kazakhstan. The mouse was bought in Astana, and now I am studying, and, accordingly, the mouse is with me in Prague. No receipts, no boxes, after 14 months of use. I find the Logitech website with a Czech version, register and decide to write to this same technical support to find out if the Logitech warranty works.

He briefly described the problem with the mouse, where it was purchased, wrote about the lack of receipts and the box nearby, complained about how double-clicking interferes with my life, at the same time indicated where I live and that seems to be all.

On the same day I receive a response in which, in a very polite manner, the employee suggested some ways to correct the situation, such as “clean the space under the left key with a stream of air”, “check on other computers/USB ports” etc. In the same letter it was written that “if these steps do not help you, we will create an RMA order.”

RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) - return of low-quality or faulty products to the manufacturer for refund, repair or credit.

Naturally, no manipulations with cleaning or replacing the computer helped me, which I notified them about on the same day. A night later, a response came with a request to send them a photo of the purchase receipt (apparently, they didn’t read the first message very carefully). At this point I was a little upset, but I remembered that you can register the purchased product on their website. I found a tag on the wire from the mouse with a serial number written on it and successfully went through the procedure of registering the mouse on their website. I wrote to them that this is how it is, I’m not local, there are no receipts, but I registered the mouse, to which I received the answer: “We see in the database that you have registered the mouse, so a receipt is not required. Just tell us your phone number and the type of operating system you use."

It was on Friday, and in the evening of the same day I received this letter in the mail:

Note from V.S.: The inscription is in an incomprehensible language, my son claims that it is Czech

“The purpose of this automated message is to inform you that our Returned Delivery Center (not sure if translated correctly) has received your RMA order and has released your requested product for shipment.”

Here I was a little surprised. No not like this. Here I went nuts. No questions about the address, no month-long delays in response, no attempts to deceive “there is no receipt, they didn’t buy from us, we can’t help”, they didn't even ask me to send them my sick mouse. In theory, I could, having a normal working mouse, say that it doesn’t work, and demand that they send me a new one simply “because”. And then on Monday I receive a message from UPS containing the tracking number and parcel information.

The Logitech Guarantee Works!

I watched as the parcel was sent from the Netherlands, passed through Germany and already on Wednesday (!), at lunchtime I picked it up at the reception in my hostel!!

Bottom line

This is the happy ending to the story, when the company “stands by its words”, Logitech’s worldwide guarantee really works! For a huge company, such a step is a drop in the ocean, and this is not the first time, having heard positive reviews about Logitech, and having personally seen their attitude towards customers, I already know exactly which company to recommend to others.

Several years ago the question arose of buying a wireless mouse. It was needed for normal everyday work at the computer, i.e. not for toys. After surfing the Internet, the choice was made in favor of the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX Black USB.

What can I say... the mouse turned out to be very worthy: a stylish body, fits well in the hand, and glides easily on any surface. The weight of the mouse is quite comfortable - it is pleasantly heavy. Power is supplied from two AA batteries. When using Duracell as batteries, they last for approximately a month of operation when using the mouse for 12-14 hours a day. A unified transceiver is inserted into the computer port, with the help of which, in addition to the mouse, you can also connect about 5 devices, if memory serves. All this is controlled through a program that can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website. The exact same animal was bought for work.

First you need to disassemble the rodent. Using a knife, screwdriver or something suitable, carefully pry off the front sliding pads. This must be done so that the sticky layer remains on them, and not on the base of the mouse, in the future it will be easier to glue them back. Let's take them off. Under them there are two screws that need to be unscrewed.

Next, remove the battery compartment cover and take out the batteries. Where the positive terminals for connecting the batteries are located, carefully bend the sticker, there are two more screws under it. Unscrew and remove the top part of the mouse.

Then we need to make an auxiliary tool with which we will open the microphone. Initially I tried using a sewing needle, but it didn't work. The body turned out to be quite fragile and began to crack when the needle was inserted. I was already depressed and thought that nothing would work out without soldering the mic. But then a paper clip caught my eye, an ordinary paper clip. Using a file, we process it so that we get a wedge, like on a flat-head screwdriver. The thinner the wedge, the better and more painlessly it will fit between the button cover and its base.

Carefully insert the wedge of our paper clip between the cover of the microphone and the base, until it clicks into place, and turn it slightly along the axis. The lid should move slightly away from the base of the microphone and snap off. We do the same on the opposite side. Mikrik is disassembled. The bulk of the work was done.

We collect all the button parts in a pile so that nothing gets lost. Using fine sandpaper or just a knife, we clean the button contacts indicated by the arrows in the picture.

Then we install the moving contact as shown in the picture. It’s better, of course, to use tweezers, the parts are very small and you have to be vigilant all the time, the contact can fly away at any moment, you won’t find it. In general, maximum attention!

Pay attention to one more point. The mikrik's pimplet is very small. During the installation process, it flew away somewhere, I thought that was it, the mouse was covered. But 10 minutes of searching saved the situation. Therefore, be very careful and install the button carefully. Also, to facilitate assembly, it is first necessary to apply a small amount of lubricant to the inside of the little cover so that it does not fall out when installing the button. That's it, after that we install the microphone cover with the button on the base and snap it into place. Next, assemble the mouse in reverse order. In this way, two mice were repaired, both continue to serve properly.

I hope the article will be useful and you will extend the life of your favorite rodent-)
