My G403 Prodigy is still working since 2017, although, I did finger the G-Hub through the side rubber.

same. i took it apart and cleaned it but a month later it started scrolling in the wrong direction again

like 20 years ago Logitech mice felt awesome and lasted forever

nowadays you're really better off buying a Razer if you're looking at anything with a modicum of extra functionality, because it's less than the equivalent Logitech and the Logitech won't last much longer in the modern day.

I managed to temporarily fix this by blasting the inside with canned air and IPA. I'll probably replace a switch at some point. My mouse is a steelseries though but it's the same horrendously overpriced piece of crap made in Chyna

Those are crucial for pc owners
I used them to fix a mechanical keyboard key that was repeating

For mice it might be a good idea to look at optical switches and scroll wheels, tho the manufacturers dont like the battery drain aspect.

Yeah, this stuff is amazing.
BTW, in case you or some other anon didn't know this, IPA and ethanol are polar solvents and like dissolves like so it's also handy to have a non-polar solvent like this electrical contact cleaner (pic related), which is mostly naphtha, aka Zippo lighter fluid, also sold in the form of paint thinner.

interesting, less mechanical wear is always better. I'll keep that in mind for my next mouse. I avoid wireless stuff because of the battery though.

Logishit is finished. I bought three of their crappy mice. A wired one, where the left button started double clicking, and a wireless one where the right click button completely stopped working. Another wireless one where the scroll wheel was in the wrong direction like yours.
Never again. I bought $10 ugreen wireless mice from aliexpress which are almost certainly going to last longer (and even if they don't at least they're cheap).

good build quality, looks good, nice cable, plenty of configurations, even a wireless one. they even sell a cheap one for 40 bucks

Just take the mouse apart and fix it. Everyone on /g/ knows how to solder.

He has problems with the scroll wheel thoughbeit, not double clicking.

His issue is not mechanical and is fixed by replacing the part.

My uhhhh... rapoo? Mouse still works after 7 years or so.
It also fell down once and broke some clips inside, so I had to use a few folded pieces of paper as shims and the power switch and bt pairing button are gone. I also added a screw to keep the battery tight and another paper shim on top.

My Logitech G102 is literally 8 years old and is working just fine. The infamous double clicking one. It doesn't double click. Scroll wheel is fine, too. Luck of the draw?

And this is why we force shitstain companies like Logitech to honour a 3 years warranty in the EU.
And yes, I'll gladly pay a few more euros for the peace of mind.

im a cuck who loves their mice despite their switches being shit
good thing replacements are cheap and i know how to solder (poorly)
>>
of all the mice ive ever owned, only the logitech g600 has survived more than 2 years of daily use. yeah i had to swap the switches, but that was cheap and easy as hell. the scrol wheel however is the best part of it because it uses an optical rotary encoder so theres no mechanical bullshit to break besides the clickspring (which is a piece of steel wire how the fuck is that gonna break) and the axle, and this is the only mouse wheel axle ive owned that didnt snap from fatigue. i wish they didnt discontinue the g600, i would have bought 5 of them and had enough for the rest of my life.

>>110185093
Do any mouse makers not do this? I'm still using an extremely basic Logitech office mouse from like 2012 and hoping it will just live forever. It's really simple and has none of that bullshit. Can you even get a mouse like this anymore?
>>
I need a new mouse for work, so I’d rather not have a LGBTIQANBFP++ LED monstrosity, but I’d like it so be ergonomic with a few additional buttons besides left and right. Also, I’d love to have a sideways scroll wheel for doom scrolling excel.
What are my options that won’t fail after a year and also aren’t so expensive that I won’t get it expensed?
>>
>>110186999
It's fixed just by fucking cleaning it out. No parts need to be replaced.
Open it up, pick out any hair that's caught in it, and blast some compressed air through the slots in the wheel.
