Crap, my mouse is getting worn down and it's starting to double click

8 years of non abusive but daily use seems pretty nice

@critical Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum
I really like it so I think I'm going to buy the G502 again

@matrix I bought the G502 this Black Friday. So far it's good. I would have liked the cable to be braided, but oh well...

@critical Mine is braided. I think Logitech is cheaping out on the new revisions, (it's cheaper now then when I bought it, despite inflation). When Linus made a video about it there were a lot of people complaining about QA and durability of the newer versions.

@matrix A few months ago my keyboard out right died.i feel your pain.

@Mr_NutterButter RIP, I never had a peripheral die on me. It always got either destroyed or slowly became less and less functional

@matrix Bright side my mic from 2014 is still functioning at full capacity.

@matrix I have the wireless version of your mouse I think, it'll randomly double click when I try to hold down a button. Seems like it comes and goes. Only bought it like a year ago, maybe 2.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club typical logitech
i went through five G502s in a year before i got one that didn't double-click randomly
one of them did it out of the box
the switches they use are trash

@matrix @rosey with the g604 some people seem to think it is a wireless or voltage issue rather than a switch issue, at least with my specific problem. because it doesn't happen all the time and some people can get it to go away by leaving the mouse on with the battery out over night. it's not a double click, it's more like you click and hold, it stops holding, then it clicks and holds again. super weird. happens on both mouse buttons and it changes all the time.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club that sucks, at least if the switch goes bad the fix is simple (put a new one in there)
hope yours is still under warranty

@rosey @matrix i got it as an open box so idk if it even had a warranty to begin with lol. it was only like $45 though or something. the main problem i have is that all the other mice that have this many buttons also have other weird issues or they have way too many buttons.

for now i've got a backup wired mouse if it is really bothering me and i need to get some work done, but for the most part it's just an annoyance that i can put up with.

@beardalaxy btw, how's the Logitech software now? I still have a super old version of it installed because when I installed the new version in like 2020 it wasn't able to save your profiles to the mouse's memory while the old version could

@matrix it can save to this mouse's memory at least. i actually don't buy anything that won't let me do that because i hate having the program open at all times.

@matrix I cleaned my G502 switches with alcohol a few months ago and it solved the issue.
