    Thank you for this video and the call out to Alex's detailed explanation. With your help, I replaced the switches in one of 3 G604s that all started having the double click issue. I had a little experience with soldering but this was the first time I de-soldered a component from a board.
    I like the feature set of the G604. It hits the sweet spot for connectivity and number of buttons. I initially bought two G604s for my desktop and laptop. First the desktop mouse started having the double click issue. The desktop gets more use in particular in MMO game play. Under warranty, I RMA'd that mouse at 6 months old. The replacement mouse failed after 3-4 months in the same way. Then the laptop mouse failed too. Very disappointed with Logitech for not using the right switches for the job. I've used Logitech mice exclusively since the late 90s and I was looking for an alternative when I came across your video.

    In case anybody is trying to fix the middle mouse button because it doesn't click anymore pay attention at 5:30. In between the springs you'll have to cut a slit open on that orange protective cover with an exacto knife so the little disk comes put. The disk is supposed to be dome shaped not flat. Just take a ball point pen and press into the disk until it looks dome shaped again. Not too much or else pressing down will feel too stiff. Wrap a narrow piece of electrical tape around the disk and board to seal and secure the disk. Thanks to the reddit guy that suggested this and this channel for showing us g604 users the path to repair.

    I can not thank you enough for this detailed, clean video of the process.
    G604 is a wonderful mouse except it has this horrible, apparently "incurable" issue of double click. Almost a year back, I got mine replaced with new one under warranty but within 2 months the issue popped up again. It had been extremely frustrating.
    While searching for possibilities of replacing switches, I stumbled upon your video and got back some confidence that this mouse can be brought back to its senses.
    Finally got Japanese OMRON switches, replaced them myself, following your video. Now with new switches, the mouse is working just the way it is supposed to.
    I am so happy and relieved.
    Thanks again. Best wishes. :) :)

    I tried and failed but thanks for your video, it saved me time. I damaged the printed circuit due to my poor skill, it's no longer solderable. Anyway, it was no longer under warranty. 2nd logitech dead with a double click problem after only a year or two, I'm done with this brand of scammers which doesn't care about its customers, moreover, the customer service is pitiful... For such expensive equipment it's shameful.

    ⚠I may have fixed the issue** ⚠ Found reddit comments confirming that blowing compressed air into the button gaps fixed the issue. I don't have compressed air so just blew very hard into the gaps all around my faulty left mouse button.
    First time didn't work. Tried again this time with lips against the gaps of the button* , front, side and through middle button, both with and without left button pressed, and.... I've just been able to draw 50 lines in MS-paint with 0 gaps! previously 50% of lines would have 1 or more gaps shown. No idea how long this will last but I'm pretty pleased 🤞
    Had same problem with 2x G602s and ended up just buying replacements. Hopefully this saves someone some money 💸
    *Using a thin straw would probably be better. It would focus the air power and enable you to get into the crevices.
    **This ended up only being a temporary fix and it's getting worse by the day. I'm still going to try for warranty replacement. If they want me to post the mouse back to them I won't bother and will try switch replacement. This vid recommends Japanese Omrons, there's another vid at: watch?v=f3ZFqZbTnL4 with many other switch alternatives tested.
    ***No reply on warranty stuff yet so I decided to take the mouse apart. Was so much dust and hair inside. Scraped the contact areas of the gold switch thingy in the Omron just to remove any oxidization, brushed dust out of other areas, also cut a small square of cling film and put it over the switch to prevent dust getting in. I think Americans call it 'plastic wrap'. So far working perfectly in the MS-paint line test!!
    ****3 week update: still no double clicks since the above paragraph, so that completely fixed the issue. Might be no need for you to buy and solder new switches. Give it a try.

    Thank you for this very helpful video. I just replaced both switches on my G604 with Japanese Omron switches. It's a pretty simple job if you know how to solder. I just had to buy some solder wick and a desolder pump. I had seen people use them in videos and never did it myself before, but it's very easy. Just take your time and follow the video. Cost: about 4$ for 2 switches, 12$ for a basic pump and some solder wick.

    This sophisticated design seems to be a good way to implement the planned obsolescence.
    The easy fix for such an issue (in my case unexpected double-clicks) is a drop of silicone grease or so. I am using 5-56 and it works fine with most of the switches - can forget about the issue for a year at least. The only issue with this mouse in my zoo - it is very difficult to get there. The first G604 mouse I returned under the warranty. And the next issue happened a few months after the warranty was expired. So I got to fix it. But I did it with a syringe that time. A couple of years gone and it is sick again (along with the old M325 that is constructed in a way that much easier to access and lubricate her switch).
    This time I got the paperclip (peace of wire if you wish), sprayed a bit of 5-56 into a tiny cap, got some of the solution on the tip of the paperclip (that I slightly bent as a bow), and entered it into the gap between the left button and the housing from the front of the mouse towards the back. As it seen in the video from 4:00 to 4:05, the white switch button is situated somewhere in between the + symbol on the auxiliary button and the center of the wheel, so you got the idea where you have to poke the oily stuff. As long as there is a sufficient amount of the silicone grease on the top of that button it will find a way to get into the switch and lubricate/clean/cover the mechanism and contact points inside.
    I spent a few minutes poking and now back to work enjoying prompt response without unexpected double-clicks.
    I hope the Logitech company will change the way of manufacturing and would not celebrate the planned obsolescence, but will please the users with a long-lasting devices as it used to be in the beginning.

    • @dtester
      @dtester 3 месяца назад

      I do agreed it's way more complex than it needs to be. They could have easily saved money with less plastic and made the mouse lighter so I'm guessing there could be a reason for it. Maybe sturdiness? If there is planned obsolescence it would be the switches. I've more recently learned why these Omeron switches fail. Today's gaming mice are less tolerant to the electrical noise the switches have as they wear down. Logitech has more recently started to introduce optical switches which fixes the problem.

    All right, so I did the entire disassembly and replaced the switches with Kaili 4 switches (which I really love...hopefully they last a lot longer than these Omron switches)...and I'm proud to say, I only have 1 extra screw. I did have to take a part a few times because the side buttons were not engaging and I couldn't figure out why...then noticed the white rubber covering has a corner cradle that had to be seated correctly or else it would move when putting back in the entire internal assembly. It's a pain, but I'm glad I did it myself.

    The left click in G604 on the other hand started to fail after medium usage, obviously shortly after the warranty has ran out. If not for that it would've been the perfect mouse, it has 6 buttons on the side which in the MMORPG I play are immensely convenient.

    There are 3 main things wrong with this mouse:
    - double-click issue
    - rubber grips peeling off and falling apart
    - over-engineered af
    After about 2 years of use, my G604 is now having the double-click issue and its rubber shell is disintegrating (I don't have sweaty hands, if you should know).
    So, earlier today, I decided to take it apart. After struggling to get the outer shell off, I was greeted with the most complicated mouse internals. It's even more complicated than the already complicated G602 I also took apart before (it was also exhibiting the double-click issue).
    I gave up and decided to watch RUclips videos of this mouse's teardown so here I am. 😅
    I'll get back to it once the replacement switches arrive.

    I owned G602 and really loved it over 6 years until the sensor stopped working. Then bought G603 and never a fan of its shape (feels too small compared to G602). When G604 came out I was so happy that it's a next-gen G602. However, it lost the ease of maintenance. G602 is so easy to dissemble. G604 however looks like a nightmare. The switch quality is getting worse, this is the 2nd G604 getting into double click issue (yes, last one was directly replaced by Logitech within warranty).

    @nchw68 Год назад

    When a mouse microswitch exhibits flakey clicks but still has decent mechanical clicking action then the contacts just need to be cleaned with contact cleaner such as Deoxit. I got my 4 Logitech Trackman Marble mice clicking properly again by using Deoxit on the offending switches. The microswitches in these things are half the size of switches in other mice and removing the top piece is quite difficult to do without breaking the tabs because the plastic is very hard and the fit tolerance between the top and bottom is tight. I also don't have a microscope to aid in this. At 55 the peepers ain't what they used to be.

    You could introduce contact cleaner into the tiny gaps around the small actuator on top but that will be pretty tedious. I chose to get a pin vise (small handheld drill bit driver) and a 5/64" split point drill bit to drill a hole into one side of the top piece. The split point will help keep the bit from walking while trying to start the hole. Initially you need to apply good pressure on the bit just until a divot forms in the plastic. Then use only slight pressure after that or you risk suddenly poking through the cover and damaging the internals. You have to take this slowly and when you feel the drill bit grab a little it means you're about to pop through the side wall. This is where you need to hold back on the pin vise while turning to clear out the plastic "chips" from the inside of the hole and so that the bit doesn't crash into the internal parts.

    The hole makes it much easier to introduce 3 or 4 drops of Deoxit into the switch. 3 or 4 drops is a lot for these switches but I wasn't confident one drop would be enough to make it to the contact points. It will easily wick into the hole. I only had a very small tube of it but it also comes in a plastic bottle that includes a thin needle applicator that would work better than the small tube I had. The Deoxit will start to wick out of all gaps on the switch. Just wipe off with tissue or paper towel.

    I'm not sure I should use D2F-F and D2F-01F due to them having 1A and 0.1A amp rating, respectively. Specifically for a G604, that is.
    Any issues so far since you've changed the switches to D2F-01F?
    Also, have you tried any 150gr switches like the D2F-01? I know it comes down to personal preference, but if you did, what were your thoughts?

      Hi, Thank you for your comment :) To answer your questions:
      1. I have not had any issues with the mouse since switch change.
      2. I did not file down the plunger height. The activation is a bit higher now but I guess it is a question of preference and comfort.
      Good luck with the replacement!

      Re the plunger height, there's a couple of "crests" on the base of the switch that can be sanded down to reduce the total height - with my switches it was already done when I bought them.
      They worked really well.

    My g604 is currently having double clicking issues & watching this video makes me regret immensely about not buying a g502 back then instead. Seeing just how much of a nightmare it is just to get to the switches, putting it back together after all that sure is gonna be a worse pain in the ass.

    • @RexTorres

      I think you would still have experienced the double-click issue had you gotten a G502. Double-clicking is a pretty common issue with Logitech mice. I also had the issue on my G602 (and on my T-something model before that). My G604 is probably my last Logitech mice. I just replaced its switches and rubber. If it breaks again, I will be looking for a different brand.

    As a person who used to solder boards practically every working day for a few years as part of my job.
    Not a bad technique. My only criticism is that you used far too much solder and i would have like to see you clean up the flux before starting to rebuild the mouse.

    Thanks a lot for your tutorial, I just replaced the bad quality stock microswitches for the Kailh red successfully following your video because this mouse has tons of screws! Comparing the stock with the Kailhs, they are practically the same, nobody could notice the difference and the result is no more double clicks.

    I do not have all the gear to follow this switch switch, however I found this:
    DOUBLE CLICK ISSUE FIXED!!!
    Issue: Whenever you click once the mouse registers a double click. It causes problem to drag and click.
    FIX and EXPLANATION: This issue is caused by static electricity buildup inside your mouse (if the mouse isn't broken). To fix this, simply breathe into the gap between the mouse and the mouse button. Our breath has enough moisture to discharge the static electricity. This should help in removing the static electricity buildup. Generally when the environment is of low humidity or the buttons are clicked in rapid succession, static electricity tends to build up. This is a common problem in mouse since there's no other way for the static charge to be discharged.
    So I did blow in to the gap for a second or two, and for the last 5min it works fine, double switching gone. If it will return, cost nothing just to blow on it again :)

      Been there, done that. Just have to be careful when bending to not make the switch to hard or too soft. Also have fixed the dome switch for the middle click by removing the thin orange film, reshaping the dome and carefully taping it back with regular clear packing tape.

    I've got problems with my G604, and right now it's selling on Amazon for only $54.22 - delivered. I'll probably buy it with the insurance, because although these are great mice they are notoriously unreliable and develop several types of frustrating defects. Evidentially, Logitech knows about the defects, but they just keep producing the same defective circuitry (or software). Even Logitech tech support has no idea if the problems are software or hardware related, so it's still a crap shoot.
