Logitech G600 Button Repair - No Soldering

How to fix the double click of death on a Logitech G600. For this repair I did not de-solder and re-solder the mouse buttons.
I recorded this two weeks ago, and ever since I have had zero problems with the buttons on my mouse.

Thank you. My dad got me my g600 like 8 years ago and he just died about a month ago, I haven't been able to use the mouse because of the double click. But it's working brilliantly now. Thank you. Thank you. Rip dad.

[@in_vas_por8810]

RIP pops. g600 is the best mouse ever made.❤

[@SpartanerChief117]

Thanks for the tutorial, my beloved G600 is back to normal. I have this mouse for over 10 years now and did not want to throw it away. The "new" version of it does not have the same feeling as the old one, so thanks to this tutorial its back to normal operation.

[@pjbergquist1939]

Thank you for such a clear and tutorial. My G600 is now fully functional once again! This is a huge life-saver given that this mouse is now discounted and I haven't found anything that can replace it. But now mine lives on!

[@Cosmoflips]

just repaired my 7 year old G600, no replacement parts used, just bending the copper til it seated properly. thank you for the tutorial

[@mattvincek]

Best tutorial on KZbin I found (after seeing three others). Thanks for the guidance.

[@sandrixpoa]

Thank you very much! My g600 last for 5 years, it has been doing the double click issue for 6m - 1y, now it's fresh new... I've just swapped the left switch with the third right switch (no use at all).

[@Xanubizz]

best comment ever

[@nclt1978]

Now that's resourceful. Using shift button despite the double click will still be good I think :D

[@Xanubizz]

i tried this aswell today, but the button broke during the solder job :(

[@TheSunscratch]

Thank you so much for this video. I thought my G600 is dead because right click worked 1 out 4 clicks. I was able to fully fix it using your guide!

[@DustenFleck]

Where did you get the spare parts for this?

[@dejayrezme8617]

Thanks for the tutorial! I love the G600 because it's the only mouse that has a separate third mouse button for the ring finger. That way you can have middle click there. It really makes a huge difference using middle click just for browsing and stuff for me. But I gone through a few because of double click issue, gonna start resoldering new switches now. Thanks again!

[@dejayrezme8617]

@@TheCassla Well the good news is the G600 seems to be going up in value haha. I'm looking into building something like this now: www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/gqmyy2/track_beast_build_log_a_trackball_dactylmanuform/ Using the trackball on a keyboard you basically have 15 mouse buttons :)

[@danneacsu9234]

great tutorial, really helped that you posted the part numbers both on the original switch and the replacement one for reference! finally gonna fix my old g600

[@pascalmartin033]

Good video ! Thanks to you, my left button is still alive now! I was having a random problem with unintentional double left clicking. Personally, I tested 2 tips that work for me: 1) if you press a little hard on the 2 sliding pads with your fingers, you should feel the 4 holes of the 4 crusiform screws. with the back of the mouse facing you, the top leftmost hole is a fake hole...the real hole is 4mm to its right. Look the guy on the vidéo to help you. 2) I used a 4mm metal drill bit which is perfect for drilling (by hand) the correct clearance for the screws. then I chamfered at 8mm (by hand) to deburr because the glide of my mouse was less good because of the plastic residue. perhaps deburring with a cutter would have been just as effective. I haven't tested. 3) I didn't buy any other switches, I opened the G button switch that I don't use (under the ring finger) and I recovered the super fragile metal strip, to exchange it with the Left click button faulty. This is the most difficult, delicate part... you have to engage the part at the top and bottom of the metal stip then push vertically on the "spring" last. Not easy... I thought I wouldn't make it! you have to take your time and be meticulous! But now that my left click is working again, I'm happy to have tried the repair as described in this beautiful video! THANKS

[@pjbergquist1939]

Exchanging the metal spring was certainly the most tedious part. I almost gave up. Such a good idea to just use the G button spring as a replacement. I bought the replacement ones on Amazon and they worked as well.

[@wamenslot]

Been using my G600 since december/2014 and just now, 2021, it started to do a double click on the left button. Thanks for the video. It was an expensive mouse for me and now i can fix it.

[@Regan995]

same boat but its the g18-g20 and the third mouse button having trouble my 4 most used

[@aalborz8623]

I have fixed this same problem with a drop or two of IPA (isopropyl alcohol) on the bad button while keeping it depressed to allow the IPA to get inside and clean the contacts by cycling the button. Works like a charm and does not pose the inevitable risk to other components when soldering.

[@pompompompom3264]

Hello, I had this double clicking problem happening erratically for years now, I supposed it was a hard ware problem but was afraid to go and poke around. After seeing your video, I decided to give it a try. I didn't have spare parts, but I figured doing some cleaning, and reshaping the spring a little wouldn't hurt, And it fixed the problem. I don't know how long it'll hold, but thank you for your precious advises .

[@Nightowl_IT]

Everybody forgets that the posts that hit the buttons get worn out. If you just use several small slivers of tape layered on top of eachother 90% of the time you're golden.

[@gM_Reef]

My mouse is BrandNew now. Thank you so much. I change with 3 click button switch, and works fine now.

[@Jowahh]

Thank you! I was able to fix my beloved white G600, I didn't really want to replace it!!

[@MacaroniLove]

Good video that helped me disassemble the mouse. However I must admit that putting the springs back on was quite the challenge... Ultimately, I gave up. I had all the tools to solder new clicky modules, but I didn't have them on hand. So instead I cannibalized a fully functional Razer mouse (that I didn't like) and transferred the click modules to the G600. While at it, I cleaned it thoroughly while it was disassembled and now it's as good as new!

[@KodeeDentares]

Great, clear, concise tutorial! Thank you!

[@andreybox8915]

Thanks for all this information. I think to change LMB switch with pinki-button switch (3rd button - most right).

[@Nobrev]

I didn't know it was feasible to open up the actual clicker component to only replace potential problem parts. good info for the future

[@Tadoke]

i'm so glad you posted this! Restored and back to working order...it just needed a bit of cleaning :)

[@petergohan]

How do you deal with the side buttons? My g600 is having problems with some, not clicking sometimes, inputting the wrong command, etc.

[@mailad6539]

Thank you for showing how to fix it. My G600 will have a second life now.

Hello, what would you do if g600 side buton stopped working, are they using same switches?

[@titoviajante]

Thank you for this video. Could you share the link in Amazon to this buttons.

[@IX10510IX]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. One thing I would have liked you to go over in a bit more detail was the actual placement of the metal spring. I think I spent 2 hours trying to set mine correctly; I kept trying to put it in at a slightly wrong angle and as I'd try to lock it in it would go flying back out. I *think* the answer was to slide the back (the part with the metal "tab" that actually makes the contact that is read as the click) against the top contact first, basically as far back as it will go, then hold it in place, and kind of pull the other end (with the ring/hole) over its contact with tweezers, and if you're really perfect it will snap in. Definitely was a big frustration for me, and something I had a hard time seeing in the video itself. That said, I got it in the end, and you saved me at least $100 on a new mouse, at least for a while. :-)

[@TheQuinch]

I've had the same problem, been wrangling with it for three hours before I gave up. I'll try your advice.

[@calistin1]

Nice video. Another thing to note is if you do not have another switch handy is you can desolder the 3rd mouse button, especially if like me you never use it, and use that switch to replace the left mouse button switch. In my case it's basically a new switch. You obviously end up with the 3rd switch having the double click problem but if you don't use welp who cares!

[@hobbes3380]

Hah, treating the g-shift button as a spare switch. Clever!

[@noobishnerd2535]

this is what i did but not soldering i got the copper thing from the g switch and switched it to the left click this is useful thanks thanks

[@RossiaIsNoMore]

I would recommend to buy universal mouse pads ans stick them on mouse in any place you want. But notice, some universal pads could be too thin, so you will have to stick them over "border" which surrounds default G600 pads (because they height could be lower then height of those "border"). I use mousepads which were in a box with mousepad, and sticked them over "border".

[@RitzyBusiness]

If you're using a hard surface i'd suggest these, www.amazon.com/Ceramic-mouse-pads-Lexip-PC-Mac/dp/B07MW5XJ8G/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2ZB5T2R7UO92S&dchild=1&keywords=lexip+ceramic+mouse+feet&qid=1598903821&s=electronics&sprefix=Lexip%2Celectronics%2C140&sr=1-4 They are ceramic dots that work really well on my g600.

[@JohnA...]

I've replaced my switch and STILL get the double clicking issues, I've seen some saying that it might be a software problem as well

[@philippdrescher6012]

You can try to fix it with an Autohotkey skript to prevent fast doubleclicking. Try this script: ~LButton::return ; Set A_PriorHotkey. #If A_PriorHotkey != "" && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 200 LButton::return ; Block hotkey. You can still doubleclick with this, but you have to do it slower as it blocks the mouse button for 200ms. You`d have to install Autohotkey, insert the script in an editor and safe it with .ahk ending, then run it.

[@philippdrescher6012]

You can actually use 100 instead of 200, works for me atleast and it's easier and smoother to still double click. :)

[@ОлегКамуз-в5ы]

Fixed double click on my g600 by fliped pads pushing switch. At g600 it has some white teflon like pads/skates pushing switches. You could try flip it or change with other button pad.

[@xavierr4508]

Any idea why buttons fail so much in Logitech devices? In my G600 the buttons around the scroll wheel stop working within months of use, and they are just push-buttons! Since I got this mouse I programmed the G12 button as left button so it didn't wear down. So far so good. In my marble mouse the left button is death, no matter how many times I replace it =(

[@FamilyHomeTheater]

Only thing I can think of is lots of gaming clicks. Especially if you are jitter clicking or something like that. I need to replace mine again also.

[@xavierr4508]

@@FamilyHomeTheater I use the mouse as a regular mouse. I bought this one for an EDA software called KiCAD, so that I didn't use the keyboard short-cuts, nothing neither fancy nor intensive, but the buttons around the scroll wheel are death.

[@RitzyBusiness]

I pulled this up since I didn't want to screw up those plastic tabs, put a dream cable in this pupper which makes this mouse feel even better (shoe lace cable vs stiff annoyance). That said for those watching make sure to clamp the mouse cable to the shell BEFORE dropping the board back in. I learned this the hard way and ended up with a stuck g-shift button, resulting in having to open it back up to do it the right way. Given the stiffness of the weave of the original cable might not be an issue doing it that way, but just something I thought to point out.

[@Jammet]

Do I have another diffierent revision or older model? There are no screws beneath the skates. The plastic is blank!

[@Crypt1cmyst1c]

the skates are held on with an adhesive pad that's the same color as the skate. you probably separated them. try digging under the edge a bit with an exacto knife or fine flathead and you should be able to pull it up.

[@zeffmetu]

why not changing the whole switch? its really hard to open it up and change the metal part in it....

[@RitzyBusiness]

Because removing the covering, even if a bit hard to get off, is within the skillset of everyone. Soldering on the other hand, while not difficult, requires a skill you need to practice and learn.

[@zeffmetu]

@@RitzyBusiness the problem is not removing the cover but to close it back. It requires crazy hand skills to place that metal part without damaging and its even harder to close the cover with that small whitey button on it. As long as you have the tools you can one shot soldering if not... good luck trying

I opened mine up, and sprayed electronic contact cleaner on the mouse button, waited a few hours for it to dry, and now it works perfectly again. A nearly $100 mouse shouldn't be doing this.. I have $10 mice that have worked flawlessly for twice as long, in fact I had to use it until I fixed by G602. May still need to order new glider pads.

Fact: Old guys have skills.

[@ThumpieBunnyEve]

So i got the double click problem. But i fixed it without opening the unit at all. I put my lips to the left click button (the one that was double and triple clicking) and blew in it, not exceedingly hard either. just sorta lightly to add Humidity from my breath into the unit. Where i live is pretty dry, and i read a guy used a humidifier to get his double clicking issue to go away. So i thought what the hay, ill give it a go. This isn't a nintendo cartridge but, if its humidity it wants.. and sure enough it worked! I've not had 1 single double click in 4 days since humid-blowing into it!? So, maybe try very softly blowing in first? -then- move on to disassembly.

Thanks for the tutorial! Had this issue for way too long now and decided to fix it. I still had 3 buttons left from when I replaced the one on my Logitech G5 (going on almost 15 years now). Back then I tried to do it without soldering first, but it was too finicky for me. So I just desoldered this one as well. Reused the pads also, didn't have an issue with it the first time. While I was in there I also removed the weights, I'll see how it goes. I liked the big weight at first, but now not so much anymore - maybe I'll add 1 back in if it is too light. :)
