My Logitech G900 mouse left click button started acting up recently. To me the most obvious symptom was that the click would be released while I still had the button pressed. That meant drag and drop or text selection operations became very unreliable. Another manifestation was that sometimes instead of a single click a double click would register. I believe that’s the reason why people refer to this issue as the double click issue.
When that starts happening to you, it means your micro switch is dying and needs replacing. I followed this video guide to disassemble the mouse. Except I did not have to do the soldering having bought replacement switches with circuit boards. Instead I had to remove another four screws to access the circuit boards sockets and swap them out. The disassembly procedure ain't that complicated if you have the proper tools. The scary bit I find is the pulling out the battery because it's actually rather soft and will change shape as you push on it. Still, if you are not used to such tasks make sure you have at least a couple of hours before you to get it done properly.
Now unfortunately I'm not very happy with the feel of the replacement switches I used. Those D2FC-F-7N (20m) are rather loud I find. Now my G900 clicks feel more like my ancient Logitech Performance MX. My understanding is that the D2FC-F-7N (50m) variant have a nicer feel to them and I should probably have order those. Taking a closer look it seems that they feature that Omron D2F-01F switch.
I'll probably end up replacing them again to try and get a better feel. I reckon I'll try find micro switches that I like and soldier them on the original circuit board I took out. Here is an interesting video about upgrading your mouse switches. It goes through various popular mouse switches available on the market with brands such as Omron, Huano or Kailh GM standing out.
That disassembly video already linked earlier as some basic tips on how to do you soldering.
