its for a logitech mouse, but the procedure is the same for all those microswitches, i got 3 more years out of my roccat mouse (which was in very heavy use and died of another reason)
That’s why I retired my MX Ergo. It’s coated in some kind of rubber that broke down. I don’t know, mine might just have cancer and all the others in the world are fine, but the thing is disgusting to touch and I’m not paying $100 for a new one.
Yes, my Logitech mouse, which is great it every other regard, had the left button give out after about of year of very heavy use (StarCraft, not that my APM is that high). With the addition of some superglue and a piece of plastic I’ve been using it for 4 more years, still going strong.
if you have a bit of patience, you can fix a chattering microswitch pretty easily:

Exactly. It’s an easy fix. I haven’t had a mouse break in the last 10 years. The coatings start falling off before the clicks are a problem any more.

Does this also work for the side buttons?
One of mine started double clicking on my G502 🥲
i took a quick look at a guide for complete replacement of the switches, and they seem to be normal microswitches too. found on reddit yuck: Link
