Logitech Mouse Problems with Clicks
Logitech Mouse Problems with Clicks
I have a Logitech G903 SE experiencing problems with click detection and double-clicking. I've used the official wireless charging pad, a dongle, and a wired setup without success. The issue affects both mouse buttons and started about a month ago. Initially, I suspected sensor failure or corrosion, but it persists even after changing computers and adjusting settings. I'm doing heavy 3D modeling work and this is disrupting my process. I don’t want to spend more on another mouse. Is this likely caused by interference?
You're probably dealing with switch issues. It seems like both buttons stopped working together by chance. Most mice share the same switches. I've changed them in all my Logitech mice at home—now there are four. If you look up the problem, it's often linked to Logitech models, though many users report similar issues with other brands. Usually the issue is a double click or a drop, which stops the mouse from recognizing the click. To rule out software problems, try booting Linux from a USB and see if the same thing happens in something like Linux Mint. You're likely to find it. The switches are simple to replace, but you'll need to solder them since they're through-hole. They're inexpensive; even better options cost a few dollars each, though shipping adds up. You might also want to swap out the skates at the bottom—they can be reused if heated, but new ones are safer. Overall, expect to spend around $20-25 on parts after shipping and taxes. This can be frustrating for switches that cost just a couple dollars each, especially when the quality improves significantly. The good part is I haven't had any failures since switching to higher-quality Japanese switches. Now I'm looking for some wood to knock on...
It seems you're considering swapping switches as a module if soldering isn't feasible. The current setup will use the module's existing switch, which might not match your preference. De-soldering or soldering issues could be a factor here.
You checked out this article just to confirm what people were talking about, thinking it might be about a switch failure. I switched to a G502 wireless for a better experience and was surprised by how easy it was to do. I didn’t have much soldering experience, but I think I could handle it through holes. Now I’ll have two mice working for me! Thanks!
It's quite good overall. If you're new to soldering, flux can be beneficial. Just make sure to clean it thoroughly after finishing. These are my notes about the switches (I used the D2F in my G500 and G502SE; I don't have a 902, so verify those part numbers). Some listings mention they include a lever, like what I noted earlier. The FL30 model had to be ordered since it was the only one available at that time. I simply removed the lever—it comes off easily. There are many choices for mouse switches and brand styles, so you can explore and pick what suits you best.
