TechFix and Chill #2: Is your Logitech G502 Hero mouse double clicking and you just can't make it stop? Me too. In this video I pull apart my mouse and completely replace the switches.
Whether you're following along with your own mouse, or just want some relaxing background noise, this video is worth the watch.

I used to replace the switches in my mice. Got bored and tired of it. Bought one with optical switches. It fixed my problems with double clicking.

BTW, to quickly desolder multiple pins at once you can use some thick copper wire and bridge them first.

Desoldering needles are a cheap way to desolder though hole components, though I'll normally just do the same as you despite having both desoldering needles and a desoldering gun. I don't know about plumber's putty, but blutack does a passable job.

Awesome video. Super detailed and I feel like if I had these tools already I would attempt this repair.... But for now a solder iron and these switches are going to bring me over the cost of a new one from Amazon....

It's a tough call sometimes. Unfortunately, sometimes it is just better to buy a new one

I watched your KiCad plug in video and saw this one. Been through the mouse button issue a few times. Last time I used Kailh Red GM 4.0 switches as a replacement, probably from the same discussions you read, and they have worked great. PS: Thanks for the plug in video, I'll be trying a few of those.

Thanks for the feedback! How do you feel using the Kailh red switches?

Take an old toothbrush, 70% alcohol or something similar containing alcohol and thoroughly clean all the contacts on the boards, switches, buttons, solder points, wheel and so on. This really helps and physically replacing parts is the last thing you need to do.

If you are doing this kind of repair more often and have a soldering gun at hand, there is easy and fast method to desolder mouse switches. Watch this - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obaWqq5eqbnNc2w.html

Pads are reusable: just use double-sided tape, it costs a pretty penny
