Before you take the omron housing off put a piece of small tape over the top so it holds the white button in place. This way when you remove the housing the button stays in place with the housing and doesn't get lost.
Hello ShadowTracer, I partially followed your tutorial but I feel I should add some context that is missing/misleading in this video. You should *not* bend the switch, the culprit is in fact the contact surfaces, if you actuate the switch you will recognize that the function is a disconnect between two contact surfaces and in my case there was a clear build up of residue on both surfaces of the contacts, I removed the residue with a combination of electrical cleaner and a small brass brush and the ghost click issue is gone. It may be worth while to refresh this video and clarify because I could imagine less experienced techs or end users inadvertently breaking their switch by following this guide. Not to criticize you or anything, I found your tutorial easy to follow, you have a good voice and clear in your instructions I just don't think that bending the switch should be recommended. Cheers o7
Great guide although you missed the important bit, over time due to many clicks, rust or gunk get settled in between the main contact points(due to electricity and metals and chemistry idk). That's the flat part on the switch itself in bottom side and the rounded surface on the metal piece that you said you should flatten out(you shouldn't do that btw, it messes up the click and the contact). To solve the entire issue of double click all you have to do is to remove that rust with a precision knife or a super small high grit sandpaper. The rust or gunk creates a resistant path, which results into double clicks or sometimes no clicks at all. I recently fixed my G602 switches by removing that gunk. If you have precision tools, you won't even need to remove the metal piece and you can use a slim thin sandpaper thingy to get in between the contacts. Another part that should be to show how fragile that thin metal piece is and you will need tweezers to work with it and how to put it back together.
I actually have my mouse taken apart and noticed exactly this, it seems the switch disconnects those two contacts and there is a lot of residue present. I was skeptical about bending the metal and glad I noticed this
Update- I was able to remove all the residue from both contacts and the ghost/double click/not able to click and drag has completely gone away- no need to bend anything :)
I would advise people to first use some compressed air and some isopropil alcohol drops to try and clean the contact of the mouse. Mine was also double-clicking from time to time, but it was due to dirt build-up. After blowing some compressed air and adding 2-3 drops of alcohol along the button (with a syringe works best) it now works again. So, try this before starting to pull your mouse apart.
Also, try cleaning your damn mouse with some alcohol once per week. Don't let your palm grease accumulate on the mouse. It will easily make it's way to the contacts , especially if you have greasy and sweaty palms.
Hello, I have just followed the guide and I have a few things to say! First, whoever try it too, you'll need patience and dexterity, i promise. Also don't buy new mouse feet before actually trying to fix your mouse, because it is going to be a rather difficult process. You can always put back your old ones somehow if you get rid of them smoothly in the first place. Then, the process of opening the mouse itself is quite easy, getting rid of the covers is ok (be careful if you use a sharp tool though, and don't lose the tiny white plastic part). The very difficult part is to put back the small copper piece. Actually it's hell, I believe that it's the reason why it doesn't appear on the video, and it's honestly fair enough. There are two problems about it: 1) It is placed in a way that it has to be very tight. You can open the cover of the right button and use it as a base. Look how the copper piece is tightly placed, there are tiny slots. 2) The fact that it is hard to put back the copper piece correctly, will force you to put pressure on it, maybe bend it so it will not be as flat as it was after you fixed it a moment earlier. In conclusion to my experience, well done ShadowTracer, it did fix the double click problem. It is not a perfect result though because my left click is a little more sensitive that it is supposed to be. It's at least less annoying than the double click issue, and i will try to work on that copper part a bit more another time. Hope my feedback helped!
Thanks for your novel XD jk. I thought this was going to be a troll comment when I started reading it. The reason that part isn't in the video is because, had it been, it would've just been an hour of me cursing and searching around in the carpet. Yeah, it's not a perfect solution. I took the mouse apart again and flattened the copper thing out some more, actually, and now it works perfectly. Glad this worked for you too. You just have to keep messing with it until you get the copper bit into the right shape.
I'm at it for an hour now... trying tip get the exact amount of bending(I might have tried it too often and it's worn out) However putting it back in is indeed hell.
I got my mouse left click works as a new so you save me money and enhance my patience! One thing that is missing in your video is how to properly put back in place the little metal copper use to click, I found how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/2sh7KwUudtI/v-deo.html After a lot of guess and try while my hand shaking (i'm not a surgeon!), I found that using a tool was not the best for me so I goes the same way presented in the video with my finger and then, most important after I get it in place, I had to push with a tool in the middle of the plate to drop the curved metal part in place and that's it! Thank you !!
I did this and it actually fixed it for me, but man did you leave out the hardest, the most "I want to punch a hole in the wall part". Getting that little metal clip back in was making me want to punch someone in the face. I just got lucky after about an hour and it clicked back into place while I was fighting it. Finished re-assembling, and double click problem is gone. Thanks!
I have this mouse -- not only it developed the double-clicking problem, it had also developed a click-drag problem (basically I could not click and drag any window on the desktop). I put a bit of upward pressure on the left mouse button, blew hard into the gap underneath a few times. Voila! Works like new again! Didn't even need a screwdriver. Moral of the story: Stick to cheap basic mice coz they tend to be more reliable than these newfangled gaming mice whose left button can't even click properly.
Mine is doing EXACTLY this, and I do the same you do (pressure and blow) and it works for 30min, then it's screwed again. Really REALLY irritated now, and mouse is JUST out of warranty, so Logitech won't replace it. @ShadowTracer - thanks for the vid, very informative :) I have read the comments however, and see that putting the copper plate back is a bit of a worry, so not sure if I will attempt this. Thanks anyway :)
The hardest part was putting back the spring ... took like 1 hour and after checking multiple sites : some said the spring needed to be more ROUNDED, in this video it said more FLATTEN. In fact it's both: it needs to be more rounded but being flatten enough to fit the hook in the center of the spring. Anyways, worked, let's see how long it will worked.
I had the same problem and learned a hint from your video. I take your hint and take a simple trial without going through all the complex and difficult detailed work as you did. This hint is that the very little hook needed to be flattened to fix the problem. So, this is what I did and my mouse is working very well for the past two days. I pressed the left button real hard and held it down for a while hoping it will flatten it. I have no idea if it did, but now I do not have the double clicking problem at least for the past two days.
Thanks for this video, I did this to my son's Logitech mouse a few years back and fixed the double-click problem. I could not remember how I did it exacly so your video was great when I had to deal with my G602 with the same problem - then it all started to come back to me. Issue does not seem isolated to a particular model, the ones we have all have the same Omron metal "spring" mechanism.
Thanks for this. I don't think I would have been able to do it without your video. Especially removing the lid of the omron, I probably would have given up and/or been too scared to break it open. In my case the problem is the mouse button releasing itself automatically. At first I thought ok that means I should do the opposite of what you did and make the copper hook sit higher rather than bending it down. However I didn't adjust it, and instead, snipped off about 1mm of copper at the back end of the plate to shorten it (using nail clippers) as it appeared to be sitting very close to the connection post in the pressed position, possibly completing the circuit and causing the button to release. I also sprayed it all down with electrical cleaner solvent. Of course, getting the copper plate back on was the hardest part, but actually it's very easy if you use the thin tip pliers and figure out which bit needs to hook underneath first. Without pliers it's almost impossible to do, luckily I had a pair lying around! However, even just removing and refitting the copper plate has changed its shape slightly from all my fidgeting with it, and the button is now super quiet to click, which I like! Not had a single issue yet, but it will probably need a few weeks of perfect operation for me to be certain it's worked. If it starts playing up again I'll then start fiddling with the height of the copper hook. I also noticed that after removing and reapplying the teflon feet (with the same ones) that the mouse is sliding a lot smoother on my desk. So after this tune up I have a super quiet left click and super smooth motion , and possibly a fixed button - very happy! Especially considering logitech have discontinued the 602 and told me to get a refund from the retailer as they don't replace discontinued items under warranty. I wonder what they will be replacing the 602 with as there is no other mouse that satisfies the same battery life and 500hz criteria. Both of these are essential features to me so it will be super depressing if logitech don't come up with a successor. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed my novel :)
In my case... And probably yours as well. No bending was actually required.It was just a dirty contact. I cleaned it after seeing the electrical gunk that built up on it. And immediately tested it. Seems to work now.Very easy fix lol. Don't even have to take the metal thing out.
Thank you so much for making this! I was playing World of Tanks and rage quit and spilled my cup of water on my g602, I was able to open it and air dry it and now it works again!
Hey. I left the little copper plate where it is and just pushed the nose up with a tooth pick. Left mouse button works like new. So i recommend to try that first if you don't want to spend one hour in messing with that copper plate.
I've had this problem with other mice, but was kind of shocked to find an actual (pretty well made) video on the exact model for the exact problem I was having! I was only looking for a way to open the mouse without breaking it. Is this model more prone to this problem than others?
First of all, there's a typo in your title! (It should say double-click) Thank you so much for your video. I hope all people who are considering "upgrading" to the G604 find this. That mouse is truly awful, and now I have so many old G602s to get back to working order. In my case, I didn't really intentionally bend the little metal piece. Instead, I cleaned it with my ancient Radio Shack contact cleaner. I also didn't bother disconnecting that ribbon cable and just was careful with it. Unlike other commenters, I couldn't really see any discoloration on the metal thingie, but it worked. But it's a PITA to get that thing out and to put it back in, especially if your hands shake like me. So next time, I will just use a Q-Tip or something to carefully apply the contact cleaner to it without removing it. Also, I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the switch cover off because it's not that clear in videos. There's a tiny, little gap along the vertical corner that you can stick a small object into. I had a pair of extremely fine tweezers from an acne extraction kit, and those worked great for both that and removing/replacing the gold thingie (don't worry, they were never used for their intended purpose, lol.) Also, I put a Band-Aid (couldn't find tape) on top of the switch cover to keep the white button in place during removal and reseating. Hope this helps someone!
SOLVED: First of all, thank you for this video, as it helped me get most of the steps to solve my left mouse click problem. I had noticed that when playing games, click-hold actions with the left mouse button yielded a choppy movement pattern which made me decide to tackle the problem. To fix the mouse without replacing the button, I followed all your instruction until the point where you "straightened" the copper piece. Instead of straightening it, I removed it, and placed it as back on as high as possible on the frame and made sure it was secure in place. After making sure it was properly centered, I put the cover back in place. I tested it with my game for a quite a bit and can confirm that it is working like new now. So the KEY here was to remove the copper (flat) piece and place it back on the frame as high as possible. I hope this helps a little (and makes sense) :) One more thing: instead of purchasing the rubber "feet", I stuck my old ones back on, and that seems to be holding strong... one way to save $8
@@joshuady1327 Sorry for the delay in responding. When I peeled off the feet, the sticky part was still on them and I just pressed them back on, and they held on well.
The easy way?...Try pressing the left button all the way down with a strong pressure for 30 seconds and you will see that everything returns to normal. I tried it, and it worked very well!
The part number for the switch is D2FC-F-7N. It is a COM-NO micro switch with pin spacing of 5.08mm. The D2FC-F-7N appears to be obsolete. I don't recommend buying from non-franchise distributors as the chances of it being counterfeit are very high. The D2FS-F-N is in stock at franchised distributors, i.e. Digikey, Mouser, Allied, etc, and has the same layout, making it a drop in replacement. Instead of mucking about disassembling a micro switch, just buy new switches and replace them. It is far easier and cheaper.
Thanks for this, just needed to learn how to take it apart so that I could replace the middle button switch. Also, if you take off your mouse feet carefully enough you can reuse them. They're not gonna look as good and even as before you took them off, but the mouse feels essentially the same with them nonetheless.
I actually had the problem with not DOUBLE CLICKING but When holding down click it interrupts and then connects again. So for example holding and dragging when drawing a straight line in paint you would instead get 5-10 mini lines. I have cleaned the little metal plate with some alcohol because it had a white coating on the place it makes contact. Works like a charm now
I have this same mouse and those "scratches" I think are just dead skin and oil buildup for your hands, and it looks pretty normal and uniform normally, until you take a fingernail to it and scrape at it, and it dislodges the gunk, making it visible. It's a good mouse, but I think I prefer glossy mice because it's both grippy and I can wipe off gunk with a dry finger and it comes off. Low maintenance that way. This G602 is high-maintenance when it comes to cleaning.
I have a non-functional G602 that stopped working soon after buying and I never contacted Logitech, and another G602 that I use for my regular PC which has just recently started to give me double clicks, intermittently. I'm pulling a switch off the non-functioning mouse, but getting all three of those legs unsoldered to remove the switch from my spare mouse is challenging.
As Rutvik Panchal bellow has already hinted, +1 here for repairing the double-click issue just by clearing the gunk under the tiny clench-thingy that makes contact with the metal lamela you've unbent. Took me only a tiny screwdriver soaked in WD40. And yep, there was no need to remove nor bend the lamella. For the people who find it hard to remove the switch cover: Inspect the right mouse switch cover. It's "in the open", visible from all sides. There is a horizontal and vertical crevice. Insert a thin blade inside the vertical crevice (preferably the back one), push slightly away from the switch, and then then up. If you do it right, the cover pops up right away. Mouse click works just fine now, woe is me though. The cursor now shakes a bit all the time. I guess I must've polluted the laser refractor. Meh, going to unscrew again. --- Edit: Cleaned and repositioned the refractor, my G602 behaves like a new mouse, yay!
I Used this video to repair my G602 and everything went well, I didn't depart the hook like part, instead I flatten it on the place. Now I have my Mouse working like first day I bought it. thanks a lot for this video👍🏻🙏🏻
FYI to anyone coming to fix their mouse, mine was suffering from an inability to click and hold. A single press down would register a double-click. If you have the same issue try this: After removing the top cover assembly, put the batteries back in and test the clicking by pushing on the physical switch. I found that my mouse was working just fine. I noticed that there was a groove in the plunger of the top assembly left mouse button. The repair kit I got had little shims included so I covered the groove with the shim, put the mouse back together and it works fine again! No de-soldering or other disassembly required. If this fix doesn't give me long-term success I'll come back and edit this comment. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! I'm just now experiencing the same issue with my G602. Is your fix still working? I was just about to go on Amazon and buy a new mouse, but I forgot how expensive this mouse was, so then I looked into self-repairing it.
ok so instead of flattening it I actually did the opposite and bent it a bit further up. The result is the click is louder and I need to put a bit more force into each click but I can click from anywhere on the mouse button and the double click problem is gone
CAUTION!! this guide is only for people who has a really REALLY calm hand ... and a lot of patience! And....Sorry dude, but it feels just like a bad joke that of all the most difficult part of the whole re-assembly is missing on your video. I thin k everyone wants to know how you put the little metal plate back into the switch. I want to see it!! because that is, like you said so often before, really terrifying!! 1:30 minutes about removing 6 screws but nothing about that really important step, which your viewers what they need to see. but anyway, thanks for showing the basic theory - for me it works!
Thanh you. I didn't know where the screws are. I was able to fix it but it's kind of soggy so I switched the left and right siwtches and it works great. Now, I encounter a new problem, sort of. I think I was used to the sogginess of the worn out spring switch the NEW switch feel like hard. I have to press harder to make it work. I suppose I will get used to it after awhile.
I succeeded perfectly my experience: you don't need new pads. The button plate placement is much more intricate than it looks, be prepared to fiddle allot there. There is actually notches where button plate is placed, use other button as a reference to place it right. ! EDIT NO BENDING NEEDED ! And maybe you actually need to bend it in opposite side, because look at how it works, you need more tension to stop double clicks, but be very gentle :] EDIT! Actually you don't need to remove that plate at all (Rutvik comment below) there is grease on the plate you need to clean, and yes i saw that grease and it was cleaned while i was fiddling with it :D
Thank you so much man. I didnt have the problem listed in the video, but i did have a major problem where the mouse wouldnt turn on (because i accidentally dropped it from about 7 feet). Thanks to this video i learned how to take apart the g602, and found that the problem was actually very simple (the black and red wires connecting the batteries to the mouse was unplugged).
Awesome tutorial. Altho I didn't have the issue you had after because probably I first bent the metal slightly on the part where the white button comes in contact with it(I bent it upwards counteracting the push of the white button) and then proceeded to "straightening" out the curved part of the metal which you mentioned.
i too got this problem with my 3 years old G602, all i do is blast a small amount of WD40 from the left mouse button gap and it will magically fixed! never had problem till this day. i'm planning to replace it with G903 prior to blasting, but looks like i don't need it for a while.
@@axxohex i pull the left mouse button up to make a bigger gap at the front of the mouse then just blast a small amount of WD40, mind you that the leftover oil will occasionally sip through while using the mouse but will disappear after a while
Followed your guide and it worked perfectly! I had the same doubleclick problem and its completly gone now :) feels like I have a new mouse again. Thanks alot!
I think you should do a followup video. Also, if you can show what you 'actually' did, it would be really helpful. Otherwise, it would be a bit theoretical. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting, my mouse just started developing this problem. It's not quite full blown bad, just occasionally doing it. It's my own fault tho. I sometimes smash the button when I'm raging in game and not even meaning to click, just upset, not often, but I did it a few times. Not even mad tho, this is a beautiful mouse. I've also had it for over 3 years now and this is the only problem I'm experiencing, also I've only changed the batteries like twice, maybe three times, but I game on it all the time, @least an hour or two most days. I think I'm just going to buy a new one when this one starts going really bad and buying the mouse feet pads and trying to repair this one as a back-up incase the new one acts up too. I really wish Logitech would release an updated version of this mouse with some new tech, maybe more durable parts (omron switch?). The design is just amazing for mobas (I play Smite, but came from LoL) and basically any game I've played it has enough buttons and awesome placement.
dude PLEASE learn how to edit. So much of this could've been clipped out to make it less confusing. And in the cases where you make mistakes, just do a retake. Seriously, it's not that hard and it makes it 300% easier to follow
Put a piece of tape over the switch cover. That way when you open it up the spring/button won't come flying off, and when you put everything back into place, just remove the tape and you're set.
Thanks for this. Getting the copper plate back in isn't easy. You need to slot the two ends under the retainers, then the copper loop under a third retainer by gently pressing on it. The click is not as hard and satisfying as when the mouse is new, but the double click is gone, and the mouse is working fine.
I had 5 RMAs for this mouse, its still my favorite. 4 had middle click button stopped working after 2-3 months, 5th one has the same issue but now left click is registering double clicks etc. Really horrible quality tasters
After learning that there was a major defect with the G602 mouse causing it to double click, I went back and tried to contact customer service. This has been one of the worst customer service experience I have ever gone through! The first representative sent me to an empty line where I waited for 30 minutes just to hit a voice mail (the voice mail never got back to me). I called back and got a different representative, who went through the testing phase to determine whether it was my computer. After going through all of these steps, the Customer service representative had me fill out a form, and told me they would review and likely replace the product rather than attempting to repair it like so many Sony products would do. At this point I thought I had actually arrived at a good position, but I kept receiving E-mails asking me to provide videos with different lengths of the mouse not working. Eventually I figured out a good compression app for videos, and sent them a video of me clicking 100 times. After all of this, wasting hours on the phone and proving that indeed my mouse had this common defect, as well as linking this video to them, I got a response that said they couldn't replace the product because it was out of their warranty. I had given them the serial number, which is what they used to deny my claim, at the very start of this process. To make it all even worse, they tried to offer me a 30% off coupon, as if owning a defective product would make me want to buy a new one! It's not even a very good coupon considering the original product purchased was defective! I do not plan on purchasing another Logitech mouse, and am frankly disgusted.
When replacing these switches, try to find the Japanese-made Omron switches instead of the Chinese-made ones. The difference in quality is obvious once you open them up and compare them.
I replaced the switches in my G602 and now it only works on dark surfaces. On my mousepad, my couch, my pants it works ok, but not on my white table or wooden floor. Before I opened the mouse it worked on any surface.
For my mouse, the left click double clicks AND the middle button hardly ever works (to quick scroll up or down). For the middle button, I have to press it down hard. I've had it for 3 years, and thankfully I just recently moved from pc gaming to ps4 gaming. Solution? I'm just going to buy a M series logitech mouse like I had before. I really only wanted the G series for gaming. If you have the same issues, and still want to game on the pc, either buy another g602 or buy something from Logitech's M series. I actually own at least 3 other M series mice, and they work like a charm. One of them is currently replacing the g602 until I buy another.
Should I stay with g700s (2years gaming no problem but accu is everyday charging) ? I am now in g602 testing. Please is this model really so bad? Logitech gives 3y warranty
Just wanted to say this worked for me. Hardest part was replacing the small metal piece after adjusting it, but once it was put back together the left click i think is actually working better than ever. The click itself feels much more 'defined'. Double click, click-and-drag issues are gone. Doesn't appear to be any more sensitive as others have noted. Was it worth saving $35 bucks? Maybe, if you have patience and enjoy tinkering fixing this kid of thing.
oh man, luckely my mouse isn't as bad as yours, I am noticing i have to press the left mouse click down a bit harder than normal , same with the middle button. I've gained some knowledge from this video. Thanks for the video. I don't know If i'll want to watch how to change the switch board but it would be interesting. good job
Vic M hey i would like to know if this mouse can play fps games without disconnecting because i have read a review pf this thing happening with one person and he said that when clicking alot the mouse disconnects for a brief moment and then reconnects. So is this thing happening to you?? Thank for your response.
i repaired it the way you did, it took like 7 months to show up again, now im ordering some omron switches from aliexpress and gonna solder the new one bruv but thanks.
This has happened for a long time for me, but it started out very rare. Then maybe a year ago I played Skyrim as an archer, and kept double firing arrows which was very annoying. Still not a major issue though. Now I can't drag windows from one monitor to the other most of the time! plus trying to pause videos is a PITA
Little confused as to you saying "flatten out the copper thingy? Another vid shows "raising" it. And then there's getting the copper thingy back on place. I just can't do it!
God fucking damnit, i love the design and placement of everything of this mouse but it just messes up so god damn quickly, On my second one and considering a different mouse but nothing else is similar g502 doesn't have as many side buttons (And is uglier imo) then the g4 something apparently uses a shitty software AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Mine doesn’t register as a double click when I left click once but a right click, anyone else have this problem? I can’t find anything about it online and it just started happening out of the blue last night. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, which proved difficult not being able to left click properly, but it did nothing. Even changed the batteries, not sure what I thought that’d do but hey, I don’t know what else to do.
I love everything about this mouse except for these shitty Omron switches. 20 million clicks my ass. I just had my second one die in under 3 years, both due to the same problem. I warrantied the first and got a new one and now it's died the same death. I tried to fix this second one but it was a no go. I got it all back together after about 3 hours of messing with it to fix that copper spring, but it's now worse. I must be a glutton for punishment cause I'm actually thinking of ordering a third one of these. Feature wise I love this mouse, but the build quality of these switches is is just shit. I don't care what claims Logitech makes. This is basically a short term disposable mouse.
@@jackflynn779 Jesus. I just filed a warranty ticket, that's something I don't usually consider and luckily I think I have 5 months before the 3 year deadline is up. I've never warrantied before, do you have to send it in or do they just send you a new one?
@@metalmayhem3622 I've never had to send one back. On the ticket they'll ask you to try a laundry list of things, none of which will work because it's a faulty switch. Just tell them you tried everything they suggested and it's still got the problem, making it unusable. All 4 warrantied have been the exact same left click fail problem. The one I warrantied the other day lasted only seven months.
Not only do I have the double click problem, sometimes it doesn't register left clicking at all. I was in a chat with logitech support for, I kid you not, a couple of hours, doing all sorts of click tests, and in the end they said "if there's not any other problems I wish you a good day", and I was like "YOU DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL!!!" This has seriously scarred my relationship with logitech, I've only had 3-4 mice in all my life as they all worked flawlessly for allmost a decade, but this mouse was malfunctioning after little more than a couple of years. Oh and am I the only one that has serious problems with the Logitech Gaming Software. It randomly doesn't open on boot, sometimes it opens two processes instead of one, and it evens defaults all my settings. As I told support, I probably won't ever buy a logitech product again, which sucks as they used to be the best edit: literally had to press the post comment button trice to get it to work, stupid mouse
I know this video is old, but thank you for this tutorial; My mouse is now working perfectly again, which is nice since it means I don't have to buy another 50-80$ mouse. Sucks that it didn't work for you, though. :(
the hell man... I just followed along then when you get to putting the mouse back together you just sort of skipped it. I'm sitting here with a mouse in pieces and you fucking skipped how to put the metal bit back in properly, I have no fucking clue...
Thanks for showing where us the screw place,m just fixde mine and i fixed a lot of my mouse before but this one is the worst type to fix since there are no room for removing and fixing the left button. btw you can fix it without replacing the black tape if you carefully remove it since it stick again or removing that elec tape since i tried to remove it but it was so tight so i put the mouse above pillow and fix it without that much of movement :) still love it one of the best mouse i ever had.
wth, i found out that omron switch with white color is actually the cheapest model they have (literally less than 1 cent US)? the 50M click is blue color. For G602 using 1 cent (and this is commercial price) of micro switch, my mind just shot out "WTF"
The biggest screwup logitech made was the laser tracker hole area is deep and dog hair gets up there and screws up tracking. They should have made that a solid surface
I have this same exact mouse and I accidentally dropped this at work. Now, one of the side buttons is actually stuck when I press it. I had to start using my old mouse :(
I watched this video because I remembered trying to replace the microswitch on my G700S. Long story short, that mouse is put together weird, and I botched the job. Looks like this mouse should be much easier. For what it's worth, these switches are so cheap (barely a dollar each on Amazon), that if I were going to take my mouse apart this far anyway, I would just go ahead and replace the switch.
hey man nice video. i saw a other video where the guy didn't flat that piece of metal. In the opposite he pushed it up and could activate the mousklick everywhere not just on front and it fixxed the Problem. he did it on the g502 but it looks exactly the same like the g602
thanks dude, it looks like it solved the problem for me after a long term of playing around with the little clip inside like a btch, tho really hard to get actually the balancing point but yeah it´s not double clicking anymore...
Just got done watching your vid. I was curious how to fix this mouse. I also just got done (60 minutes ago) chatting with Logitech support. They are shipping me a new 602. From my searching, I've seen that this is a big problem with logitech mice. But my warranty is not up so, WALA! I get a new one. After I get my new one, maybe ill try this. Thanks for the infor!
lol kept tried to pause the video but the double click issue keeps fullscreening. The Irony.
Space bar my dude
remap one of the side buttons for Left Click.
My god it worked :D genius
I tried to like your comment but I kept un-clicking it.
ahahaahaha
Cant upvote, my mouse double clicks when I do.
Before you take the omron housing off put a piece of small tape over the top so it holds the white button in place. This way when you remove the housing the button stays in place with the housing and doesn't get lost.
Woah...This...Actually worked. haha
Thank you for the tip!
Smart! Should make it easier to put back on too.
Thanks for the pro tip
Great advice! It helped a lot!
Hello ShadowTracer, I partially followed your tutorial but I feel I should add some context that is missing/misleading in this video. You should *not* bend the switch, the culprit is in fact the contact surfaces, if you actuate the switch you will recognize that the function is a disconnect between two contact surfaces and in my case there was a clear build up of residue on both surfaces of the contacts, I removed the residue with a combination of electrical cleaner and a small brass brush and the ghost click issue is gone. It may be worth while to refresh this video and clarify because I could imagine less experienced techs or end users inadvertently breaking their switch by following this guide. Not to criticize you or anything, I found your tutorial easy to follow, you have a good voice and clear in your instructions I just don't think that bending the switch should be recommended. Cheers o7
7:38 If you put a piece of tape over the top of the switch before you pry it off it will keep that button thingy in place.
Great guide although you missed the important bit, over time due to many clicks, rust or gunk get settled in between the main contact points(due to electricity and metals and chemistry idk). That's the flat part on the switch itself in bottom side and the rounded surface on the metal piece that you said you should flatten out(you shouldn't do that btw, it messes up the click and the contact). To solve the entire issue of double click all you have to do is to remove that rust with a precision knife or a super small high grit sandpaper. The rust or gunk creates a resistant path, which results into double clicks or sometimes no clicks at all. I recently fixed my G602 switches by removing that gunk. If you have precision tools, you won't even need to remove the metal piece and you can use a slim thin sandpaper thingy to get in between the contacts. Another part that should be to show how fragile that thin metal piece is and you will need tweezers to work with it and how to put it back together.
I actually have my mouse taken apart and noticed exactly this, it seems the switch disconnects those two contacts and there is a lot of residue present. I was skeptical about bending the metal and glad I noticed this
Update- I was able to remove all the residue from both contacts and the ghost/double click/not able to click and drag has completely gone away- no need to bend anything :)
+1 thanks! Made it so much easier this way, the mouse works alright again.
LOL it works so well, there are 5 years or so layer of thick dirty stuck between the gaps, after cleaning no more double click issue👍👍
Totally agree with this! I just cleaned the rust off of the contacts and it works perfectly fine.
I would advise people to first use some compressed air and some isopropil alcohol drops to try and clean the contact of the mouse. Mine was also double-clicking from time to time, but it was due to dirt build-up. After blowing some compressed air and adding 2-3 drops of alcohol along the button (with a syringe works best) it now works again. So, try this before starting to pull your mouse apart.
Also, try cleaning your damn mouse with some alcohol once per week. Don't let your palm grease accumulate on the mouse. It will easily make it's way to the contacts , especially if you have greasy and sweaty palms.
Fixed it WOW I added a little spring to it instead of flattening it out. Thank You Shadow Tracer
The double click is gone!!!
Hello, I have just followed the guide and I have a few things to say!
First, whoever try it too, you'll need patience and dexterity, i promise. Also don't buy new mouse feet before actually trying to fix your mouse, because it is going to be a rather difficult process. You can always put back your old ones somehow if you get rid of them smoothly in the first place.
Then, the process of opening the mouse itself is quite easy, getting rid of the covers is ok (be careful if you use a sharp tool though, and don't lose the tiny white plastic part).
The very difficult part is to put back the small copper piece. Actually it's hell, I believe that it's the reason why it doesn't appear on the video, and it's honestly fair enough. There are two problems about it:
1) It is placed in a way that it has to be very tight. You can open the cover of the right button and use it as a base. Look how the copper piece is tightly placed, there are tiny slots.
2) The fact that it is hard to put back the copper piece correctly, will force you to put pressure on it, maybe bend it so it will not be as flat as it was after you fixed it a moment earlier.
In conclusion to my experience, well done ShadowTracer, it did fix the double click problem. It is not a perfect result though because my left click is a little more sensitive that it is supposed to be. It's at least less annoying than the double click issue, and i will try to work on that copper part a bit more another time.
Hope my feedback helped!
Thanks for your novel XD jk. I thought this was going to be a troll comment when I started reading it. The reason that part isn't in the video is because, had it been, it would've just been an hour of me cursing and searching around in the carpet. Yeah, it's not a perfect solution. I took the mouse apart again and flattened the copper thing out some more, actually, and now it works perfectly. Glad this worked for you too. You just have to keep messing with it until you get the copper bit into the right shape.
I'm at it for an hour now... trying tip get the exact amount of bending(I might have tried it too often and it's worn out)
However putting it back in is indeed hell.
I got my mouse left click works as a new so you save me money and enhance my patience!
One thing that is missing in your video is how to properly put back in place the little metal copper use to click, I found how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/2sh7KwUudtI/v-deo.html
After a lot of guess and try while my hand shaking (i'm not a surgeon!), I found that using a tool was not the best for me so I goes the same way presented in the video with my finger and then, most important after I get it in place, I had to push with a tool in the middle of the plate to drop the curved metal part in place and that's it!
Thank you !!
I did this and it actually fixed it for me, but man did you leave out the hardest, the most "I want to punch a hole in the wall part". Getting that little metal clip back in was making me want to punch someone in the face. I just got lucky after about an hour and it clicked back into place while I was fighting it. Finished re-assembling, and double click problem is gone. Thanks!
I have this mouse -- not only it developed the double-clicking problem, it had also developed a click-drag problem (basically I could not click and drag any window on the desktop).
I put a bit of upward pressure on the left mouse button, blew hard into the gap underneath a few times. Voila! Works like new again! Didn't even need a screwdriver.
Moral of the story: Stick to cheap basic mice coz they tend to be more reliable than these newfangled gaming mice whose left button can't even click properly.
Mine is doing EXACTLY this, and I do the same you do (pressure and blow) and it works for 30min, then it's screwed again. Really REALLY irritated now, and mouse is JUST out of warranty, so Logitech won't replace it.
@ShadowTracer - thanks for the vid, very informative :)
I have read the comments however, and see that putting the copper plate back is a bit of a worry, so not sure if I will attempt this. Thanks anyway :)
Yeah.... mine worked like new for like a week, then it crapped out again.
This is a really shit mouse especially considering its premium price..!!
its same double click problem just replace the thing that showed in the video with a one from old mouse and it should fix it.
You are officially my favorite person.
Cant believe this worked lol
Do we have part 2 of this one? Btw I like your Elite Dangerous videos
Looks like he just bought a new G502 instead
@@windtalker4191 Shame 😢
The hardest part was putting back the spring ... took like 1 hour and after checking multiple sites : some said the spring needed to be more ROUNDED, in this video it said more FLATTEN. In fact it's both: it needs to be more rounded but being flatten enough to fit the hook in the center of the spring. Anyways, worked, let's see how long it will worked.
I had the same problem and learned a hint from your video. I take your hint and take a simple trial without going through all the complex and difficult detailed work as you did. This hint is that the very little hook needed to be flattened to fix the problem. So, this is what I did and my mouse is working very well for the past two days. I pressed the left button real hard and held it down for a while hoping it will flatten it. I have no idea if it did, but now I do not have the double clicking problem at least for the past two days.
Thanks for this video, I did this to my son's Logitech mouse a few years back and fixed the double-click problem. I could not remember how I did it exacly so your video was great when I had to deal with my G602 with the same problem - then it all started to come back to me. Issue does not seem isolated to a particular model, the ones we have all have the same Omron metal "spring" mechanism.
Thanks for this. I don't think I would have been able to do it without your video. Especially removing the lid of the omron, I probably would have given up and/or been too scared to break it open.
In my case the problem is the mouse button releasing itself automatically. At first I thought ok that means I should do the opposite of what you did and make the copper hook sit higher rather than bending it down. However I didn't adjust it, and instead, snipped off about 1mm of copper at the back end of the plate to shorten it (using nail clippers) as it appeared to be sitting very close to the connection post in the pressed position, possibly completing the circuit and causing the button to release. I also sprayed it all down with electrical cleaner solvent. Of course, getting the copper plate back on was the hardest part, but actually it's very easy if you use the thin tip pliers and figure out which bit needs to hook underneath first. Without pliers it's almost impossible to do, luckily I had a pair lying around! However, even just removing and refitting the copper plate has changed its shape slightly from all my fidgeting with it, and the button is now super quiet to click, which I like! Not had a single issue yet, but it will probably need a few weeks of perfect operation for me to be certain it's worked. If it starts playing up again I'll then start fiddling with the height of the copper hook. I also noticed that after removing and reapplying the teflon feet (with the same ones) that the mouse is sliding a lot smoother on my desk. So after this tune up I have a super quiet left click and super smooth motion , and possibly a fixed button - very happy! Especially considering logitech have discontinued the 602 and told me to get a refund from the retailer as they don't replace discontinued items under warranty. I wonder what they will be replacing the 602 with as there is no other mouse that satisfies the same battery life and 500hz criteria. Both of these are essential features to me so it will be super depressing if logitech don't come up with a successor. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed my novel :)
In my case... And probably yours as well. No bending was actually required.It was just a dirty contact. I cleaned it after seeing the electrical gunk that built up on it. And immediately tested it. Seems to work now.Very easy fix lol. Don't even have to take the metal thing out.
@@azraela9 actually I was wrong. It started happening again. I did have to bend it. It works great now though
now I just need a scroll wheel fix.
Thank you so much for making this! I was playing World of Tanks and rage quit and spilled my cup of water on my g602, I was able to open it and air dry it and now it works again!
Are you loco? Crazy?
And how do you manage to always cut the most important part ? Like reassembling the copper part. I can't figure out how to do it.
Because he did it wrong
@@themysticbg Yeah that's easily the worst tutorial i've ever seen and I'm not exagerating. It doesn't show anything.
@@SaladCesar2052 it took a lot of time and patience for me to get it in right
Hey. I left the little copper plate where it is and just pushed the nose up with a tooth pick. Left mouse button works like new. So i recommend to try that first if you don't want to spend one hour in messing with that copper plate.
I've had this problem with other mice, but was kind of shocked to find an actual (pretty well made) video on the exact model for the exact problem I was having! I was only looking for a way to open the mouse without breaking it. Is this model more prone to this problem than others?
First of all, there's a typo in your title! (It should say double-click)
Thank you so much for your video. I hope all people who are considering "upgrading" to the G604 find this. That mouse is truly awful, and now I have so many old G602s to get back to working order. In my case, I didn't really intentionally bend the little metal piece. Instead, I cleaned it with my ancient Radio Shack contact cleaner. I also didn't bother disconnecting that ribbon cable and just was careful with it. Unlike other commenters, I couldn't really see any discoloration on the metal thingie, but it worked. But it's a PITA to get that thing out and to put it back in, especially if your hands shake like me. So next time, I will just use a Q-Tip or something to carefully apply the contact cleaner to it without removing it.
Also, I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the switch cover off because it's not that clear in videos. There's a tiny, little gap along the vertical corner that you can stick a small object into. I had a pair of extremely fine tweezers from an acne extraction kit, and those worked great for both that and removing/replacing the gold thingie (don't worry, they were never used for their intended purpose, lol.) Also, I put a Band-Aid (couldn't find tape) on top of the switch cover to keep the white button in place during removal and reseating. Hope this helps someone!
SOLVED: First of all, thank you for this video, as it helped me get most of the steps to solve my left mouse click problem. I had noticed that when playing games, click-hold actions with the left mouse button yielded a choppy movement pattern which made me decide to tackle the problem.
To fix the mouse without replacing the button, I followed all your instruction until the point where you "straightened" the copper piece. Instead of straightening it, I removed it, and placed it as back on as high as possible on the frame and made sure it was secure in place. After making sure it was properly centered, I put the cover back in place. I tested it with my game for a quite a bit and can confirm that it is working like new now. So the KEY here was to remove the copper (flat) piece and place it back on the frame as high as possible. I hope this helps a little (and makes sense) :)
One more thing: instead of purchasing the rubber "feet", I stuck my old ones back on, and that seems to be holding strong... one way to save $8
+Carl Callaway what did you use to stick the old rubber feet on the bottom of the mouse?
@@joshuady1327 Sorry for the delay in responding. When I peeled off the feet, the sticky part was still on them and I just pressed them back on, and they held on well.
The easy way?...Try pressing the left button all the way down with a strong pressure for 30 seconds and you will see that everything returns to normal. I tried it, and it worked very well!
The part number for the switch is D2FC-F-7N. It is a COM-NO micro switch with pin spacing of 5.08mm. The D2FC-F-7N appears to be obsolete. I don't recommend buying from non-franchise distributors as the chances of it being counterfeit are very high. The D2FS-F-N is in stock at franchised distributors, i.e. Digikey, Mouser, Allied, etc, and has the same layout, making it a drop in replacement. Instead of mucking about disassembling a micro switch, just buy new switches and replace them. It is far easier and cheaper.
Thanks for this, just needed to learn how to take it apart so that I could replace the middle button switch. Also, if you take off your mouse feet carefully enough you can reuse them. They're not gonna look as good and even as before you took them off, but the mouse feels essentially the same with them nonetheless.
worked thank uuuu
I actually had the problem with not DOUBLE CLICKING but When holding down click it interrupts and then connects again. So for example holding and dragging when drawing a straight line in paint you would instead get 5-10 mini lines. I have cleaned the little metal plate with some alcohol because it had a white coating on the place it makes contact. Works like a charm now
It works so well for me thanks a lot. God it was so hard to replace the mini steel piece on the right click as there is no place to operate.
I have this same mouse and those "scratches" I think are just dead skin and oil buildup for your hands, and it looks pretty normal and uniform normally, until you take a fingernail to it and scrape at it, and it dislodges the gunk, making it visible.
It's a good mouse, but I think I prefer glossy mice because it's both grippy and I can wipe off gunk with a dry finger and it comes off. Low maintenance that way. This G602 is high-maintenance when it comes to cleaning.
I have a non-functional G602 that stopped working soon after buying and I never contacted Logitech, and another G602 that I use for my regular PC which has just recently started to give me double clicks, intermittently. I'm pulling a switch off the non-functioning mouse, but getting all three of those legs unsoldered to remove the switch from my spare mouse is challenging.
As Rutvik Panchal bellow has already hinted, +1 here for repairing the double-click issue just by clearing the gunk under the tiny clench-thingy that makes contact with the metal lamela you've unbent. Took me only a tiny screwdriver soaked in WD40. And yep, there was no need to remove nor bend the lamella.
For the people who find it hard to remove the switch cover: Inspect the right mouse switch cover. It's "in the open", visible from all sides. There is a horizontal and vertical crevice. Insert a thin blade inside the vertical crevice (preferably the back one), push slightly away from the switch, and then then up. If you do it right, the cover pops up right away.
Mouse click works just fine now, woe is me though. The cursor now shakes a bit all the time. I guess I must've polluted the laser refractor. Meh, going to unscrew again.
---
Edit: Cleaned and repositioned the refractor, my G602 behaves like a new mouse, yay!
I Used this video to repair my G602 and everything went well, I didn't depart the hook like part, instead I flatten it on the place. Now I have my Mouse working like first day I bought it. thanks a lot for this video👍🏻🙏🏻
FYI to anyone coming to fix their mouse, mine was suffering from an inability to click and hold. A single press down would register a double-click.
If you have the same issue try this: After removing the top cover assembly, put the batteries back in and test the clicking by pushing on the physical switch. I found that my mouse was working just fine. I noticed that there was a groove in the plunger of the top assembly left mouse button. The repair kit I got had little shims included so I covered the groove with the shim, put the mouse back together and it works fine again! No de-soldering or other disassembly required.
If this fix doesn't give me long-term success I'll come back and edit this comment. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! I'm just now experiencing the same issue with my G602. Is your fix still working?
I was just about to go on Amazon and buy a new mouse, but I forgot how expensive this mouse was, so then I looked into self-repairing it.
ok so instead of flattening it I actually did the opposite and bent it a bit further up. The result is the click is louder and I need to put a bit more force into each click but I can click from anywhere on the mouse button and the double click problem is gone
There is another video that says bend it down ... so I did both lol
CAUTION!! this guide is only for people who has a really REALLY calm hand ... and a lot of patience!
And....Sorry dude, but it feels just like a bad joke that of all the most difficult part of the whole re-assembly is missing on your video. I thin k everyone wants to know how you put the little metal plate back into the switch. I want to see it!! because that is, like you said so often before, really terrifying!!
1:30 minutes about removing 6 screws but nothing about that really important step, which your viewers what they need to see.
but anyway, thanks for showing the basic theory - for me it works!
Thanh you. I didn't know where the screws are. I was able to fix it but it's kind of soggy so I switched the left and right siwtches and it works great. Now, I encounter a new problem, sort of. I think I was used to the sogginess of the worn out spring switch the NEW switch feel like hard. I have to press harder to make it work. I suppose I will get used to it after awhile.
I succeeded perfectly my experience: you don't need new pads. The button plate placement is much more intricate than it looks, be prepared to fiddle allot there. There is actually notches where button plate is placed, use other button as a reference to place it right. ! EDIT NO BENDING NEEDED ! And maybe you actually need to bend it in opposite side, because look at how it works, you need more tension to stop double clicks, but be very gentle :] EDIT! Actually you don't need to remove that plate at all (Rutvik comment below) there is grease on the plate you need to clean, and yes i saw that grease and it was cleaned while i was fiddling with it :D
Thank you so much man. I didnt have the problem listed in the video, but i did have a major problem where the mouse wouldnt turn on (because i accidentally dropped it from about 7 feet). Thanks to this video i learned how to take apart the g602, and found that the problem was actually very simple (the black and red wires connecting the batteries to the mouse was unplugged).
Awesome tutorial. Altho I didn't have the issue you had after because probably I first bent the metal slightly on the part where the white button comes in contact with it(I bent it upwards counteracting the push of the white button) and then proceeded to "straightening" out the curved part of the metal which you mentioned.
thanks, but bend it out a little bit instead of flattening (it's already flattened from use) and clean the contact.
i too got this problem with my 3 years old G602, all i do is blast a small amount of WD40 from the left mouse button gap and it will magically fixed! never had problem till this day. i'm planning to replace it with G903 prior to blasting, but looks like i don't need it for a while.
I too am looking at doing the exact same thing with WD40. Care to share with me which button gap you are pointing the WD40 nozzle to ?
@@axxohex i pull the left mouse button up to make a bigger gap at the front of the mouse then just blast a small amount of WD40, mind you that the leftover oil will occasionally sip through while using the mouse but will disappear after a while
Followed your guide and it worked perfectly! I had the same doubleclick problem and its completly gone now :) feels like I have a new mouse again. Thanks alot!
Glad I could help!
Have you done Part 2 of this video? If so where did you get the switch? Thanks
I did not. It barely got any views, so I didn't do a follow-up.
I think you should do a follow up. You present your videos well and are very viewer focused.
I think you should do a followup video. Also, if you can show what you 'actually' did, it would be really helpful. Otherwise, it would be a bit theoretical. Thanks for sharing.
sad... did watch this video twice. In process of fixing my g602
Interesting, my mouse just started developing this problem. It's not quite full blown bad, just occasionally doing it. It's my own fault tho. I sometimes smash the button when I'm raging in game and not even meaning to click, just upset, not often, but I did it a few times.
Not even mad tho, this is a beautiful mouse. I've also had it for over 3 years now and this is the only problem I'm experiencing, also I've only changed the batteries like twice, maybe three times, but I game on it all the time, @least an hour or two most days.
I think I'm just going to buy a new one when this one starts going really bad and buying the mouse feet pads and trying to repair this one as a back-up incase the new one acts up too.
I really wish Logitech would release an updated version of this mouse with some new tech, maybe more durable parts (omron switch?). The design is just amazing for mobas (I play Smite, but came from LoL) and basically any game I've played it has enough buttons and awesome placement.
What the point of filming that at 1m of distance ? Don't you want to be film at 1km, to be sure that we don't see anything ?
dude PLEASE learn how to edit. So much of this could've been clipped out to make it less confusing. And in the cases where you make mistakes, just do a retake. Seriously, it's not that hard and it makes it 300% easier to follow
Put a piece of tape over the switch cover. That way when you open it up the spring/button won't come flying off, and when you put everything back into place, just remove the tape and you're set.
Wow, I did not think of that. You, sir, are a genius!
Thanks for this. Getting the copper plate back in isn't easy. You need to slot the two ends under the retainers, then the copper loop under a third retainer by gently pressing on it.
The click is not as hard and satisfying as when the mouse is new, but the double click is gone, and the mouse is working fine.
How do you get those effing buttons above your thumb from reacting to accidental pushes???
I cant get the white part to click and the copper isint tight HELP
Done this today, still works.
I had 5 RMAs for this mouse, its still my favorite. 4 had middle click button stopped working after 2-3 months, 5th one has the same issue but now left click is registering double clicks etc. Really horrible quality tasters
Do you know how to fix the issue where the side buttons don't press sometimes while in a game?
could anyone drop me their opinion on this: i've had this mouse for 4 years and only now am i getting problems, should i fix or replace?
Logitech wants you to replace. Mother earth wants you to not buy shit that lasts only 4 years...
@@DondeRob more like mother earth wants you to not buy a g502 hero se that lasts for only a month lol
After learning that there was a major defect with the G602 mouse causing it to double click, I went back and tried to contact customer service. This has been one of the worst customer service experience I have ever gone through! The first representative sent me to an empty line where I waited for 30 minutes just to hit a voice mail (the voice mail never got back to me). I called back and got a different representative, who went through the testing phase to determine whether it was my computer. After going through all of these steps, the Customer service representative had me fill out a form, and told me they would review and likely replace the product rather than attempting to repair it like so many Sony products would do.
At this point I thought I had actually arrived at a good position, but I kept receiving E-mails asking me to provide videos with different lengths of the mouse not working. Eventually I figured out a good compression app for videos, and sent them a video of me clicking 100 times. After all of this, wasting hours on the phone and proving that indeed my mouse had this common defect, as well as linking this video to them, I got a response that said they couldn't replace the product because it was out of their warranty. I had given them the serial number, which is what they used to deny my claim, at the very start of this process. To make it all even worse, they tried to offer me a 30% off coupon, as if owning a defective product would make me want to buy a new one! It's not even a very good coupon considering the original product purchased was defective!
I do not plan on purchasing another Logitech mouse, and am frankly disgusted.
When replacing these switches, try to find the Japanese-made Omron switches instead of the Chinese-made ones. The difference in quality is obvious once you open them up and compare them.
I replaced the switches in my G602 and now it only works on dark surfaces. On my mousepad, my couch, my pants it works ok, but not on my white table or wooden floor. Before I opened the mouse it worked on any surface.
I Blowed every gap on my mouse hard. And it worked.
For my mouse, the left click double clicks AND the middle button hardly ever works (to quick scroll up or down). For the middle button, I have to press it down hard. I've had it for 3 years, and thankfully I just recently moved from pc gaming to ps4 gaming. Solution? I'm just going to buy a M series logitech mouse like I had before. I really only wanted the G series for gaming. If you have the same issues, and still want to game on the pc, either buy another g602 or buy something from Logitech's M series. I actually own at least 3 other M series mice, and they work like a charm. One of them is currently replacing the g602 until I buy another.
Should I stay with g700s (2years gaming no problem but accu is everyday charging) ? I am now in g602 testing. Please is this model really so bad? Logitech gives 3y warranty
Is this the same bug im getting where i hold it down and it randomly clicks while im doing it. ITS HORRIBLE for dead by daylight
My stupid G602 actually holds the left click on so it grabs and holds everything on scree!! How to fix that?
Just wanted to say this worked for me. Hardest part was replacing the small metal piece after adjusting it, but once it was put back together the left click i think is actually working better than ever. The click itself feels much more 'defined'. Double click, click-and-drag issues are gone. Doesn't appear to be any more sensitive as others have noted.
Was it worth saving $35 bucks? Maybe, if you have patience and enjoy tinkering fixing this kid of thing.
What to do if the mouse stop working mid-use?
oh man, luckely my mouse isn't as bad as yours, I am noticing i have to press the left mouse click down a bit harder than normal , same with the middle button. I've gained some knowledge from this video. Thanks for the video. I don't know If i'll want to watch how to change the switch board but it would be interesting. good job
Thank you :)
Vic M hey i would like to know if this mouse can play fps games without disconnecting because i have read a review pf this thing happening with one person and he said that when clicking alot the mouse disconnects for a brief moment and then reconnects. So is this thing happening to you?? Thank for your response.
i repaired it the way you did, it took like 7 months to show up again, now im ordering some omron switches from aliexpress and gonna solder the new one bruv but thanks.
is there inside enught space to convert it wit a rechargable battery?
This has happened for a long time for me, but it started out very rare. Then maybe a year ago I played Skyrim as an archer, and kept double firing arrows which was very annoying. Still not a major issue though. Now I can't drag windows from one monitor to the other most of the time! plus trying to pause videos is a PITA
Little confused as to you saying "flatten out the copper thingy? Another vid shows "raising" it. And then there's getting the copper thingy back on place. I just can't do it!
God fucking damnit, i love the design and placement of everything of this mouse but it just messes up so god damn quickly, On my second one and considering a different mouse but nothing else is similar g502 doesn't have as many side buttons (And is uglier imo) then the g4 something apparently uses a shitty software
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Mine doesn’t register as a double click when I left click once but a right click, anyone else have this problem? I can’t find anything about it online and it just started happening out of the blue last night. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, which proved difficult not being able to left click properly, but it did nothing. Even changed the batteries, not sure what I thought that’d do but hey, I don’t know what else to do.
I love everything about this mouse except for these shitty Omron switches. 20 million clicks my ass. I just had my second one die in under 3 years, both due to the same problem. I warrantied the first and got a new one and now it's died the same death. I tried to fix this second one but it was a no go. I got it all back together after about 3 hours of messing with it to fix that copper spring, but it's now worse. I must be a glutton for punishment cause I'm actually thinking of ordering a third one of these. Feature wise I love this mouse, but the build quality of these switches is is just shit. I don't care what claims Logitech makes. This is basically a short term disposable mouse.
3 years later, what did you go with?
@@metalmayhem3622 Another G602, lol. I just warrantied my fourth one the other day, now on my fifth.
@@jackflynn779 Jesus. I just filed a warranty ticket, that's something I don't usually consider and luckily I think I have 5 months before the 3 year deadline is up.
I've never warrantied before, do you have to send it in or do they just send you a new one?
@@metalmayhem3622 I've never had to send one back. On the ticket they'll ask you to try a laundry list of things, none of which will work because it's a faulty switch. Just tell them you tried everything they suggested and it's still got the problem, making it unusable. All 4 warrantied have been the exact same left click fail problem. The one I warrantied the other day lasted only seven months.
@@jackflynn779 Awesome, thanks
Not only do I have the double click problem, sometimes it doesn't register left clicking at all. I was in a chat with logitech support for, I kid you not, a couple of hours, doing all sorts of click tests, and in the end they said "if there's not any other problems I wish you a good day", and I was like "YOU DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL!!!"
This has seriously scarred my relationship with logitech, I've only had 3-4 mice in all my life as they all worked flawlessly for allmost a decade, but this mouse was malfunctioning after little more than a couple of years.
Oh and am I the only one that has serious problems with the Logitech Gaming Software. It randomly doesn't open on boot, sometimes it opens two processes instead of one, and it evens defaults all my settings.
As I told support, I probably won't ever buy a logitech product again, which sucks as they used to be the best
edit: literally had to press the post comment button trice to get it to work, stupid mouse
Where you buy the muse feet ?
I thought it was only a problem for me :)
I know this video is old, but thank you for this tutorial; My mouse is now working perfectly again, which is nice since it means I don't have to buy another 50-80$ mouse. Sucks that it didn't work for you, though. :(
the hell man...
I just followed along then when you get to putting the mouse back together you just sort of skipped it.
I'm sitting here with a mouse in pieces and you fucking skipped how to put the metal bit back in properly, I have no fucking clue...
Thanks for showing where us the screw place,m just fixde mine and i fixed a lot of my mouse before but this one is the worst type to fix since there are no room for removing and fixing the left button. btw you can fix it without replacing the black tape if you carefully remove it since it stick again or removing that elec tape since i tried to remove it but it was so tight so i put the mouse above pillow and fix it without that much of movement :)
still love it one of the best mouse i ever had.
i purchased 4 of these from BestBuy and 3 of them are having this issue. About to open the 4th one.
wth, i found out that omron switch with white color is actually the cheapest model they have (literally less than 1 cent US)? the 50M click is blue color. For G602 using 1 cent (and this is commercial price) of micro switch, my mind just shot out "WTF"
Bruh how do you put the copper back? It's impossible man I'm stuck here

The biggest screwup logitech made was the laser tracker hole area is deep and dog hair gets up there and
screws up tracking. They should have made that a solid surface
Still waiting for Part 2
Can't find the Part 2 :(
I have this same exact mouse and I accidentally dropped this at work. Now, one of the side buttons is actually stuck when I press it. I had to start using my old mouse :(
Could we have software solution from Logitech, because the hardware reparation comes with high risk
can you please tell me how do i assign volume up and down to the keys? this was available on my g700 but not the g602 mouse , no idea why.
Use logitech ghub
I watched this video because I remembered trying to replace the microswitch on my G700S. Long story short, that mouse is put together weird, and I botched the job. Looks like this mouse should be much easier. For what it's worth, these switches are so cheap (barely a dollar each on Amazon), that if I were going to take my mouse apart this far anyway, I would just go ahead and replace the switch.
hey man nice video. i saw a other video where the guy didn't flat that piece of metal. In the opposite he pushed it up and could activate the mousklick everywhere not just on front and it fixxed the Problem. he did it on the g502 but it looks exactly the same like the g602
Thanks. Yeah, I actually took it apart again and did that and now it works perfectly.
wow man, it really worked, thank you so much!
u arent supposed to flatten it right? u need to increase the curve
I fixed it !!! Thanks to you !!!
thanks dude, it looks like it solved the problem for me after a long term of playing around with the little clip inside like a btch, tho really hard to get actually the balancing point but yeah it´s not double clicking anymore...
Thank you!!Works!
What even is this video... Let me cut away when I should be showing you how to put the switch contact back together... Fantastic
My sensor isn't working the red light isn't there :/
Thank you works for me
Just got done watching your vid. I was curious how to fix this mouse. I also just got done (60 minutes ago) chatting with Logitech support. They are shipping me a new 602. From my searching, I've seen that this is a big problem with logitech mice.
But my warranty is not up so, WALA! I get a new one. After I get my new one, maybe ill try this. Thanks for the infor!
That's exactly what I did. Good luck with it!
