who has problems with the buttons do not forget these chips have a limit for example 1 million clicks and so on in general you understand it is desirable to buy 50 million

Hello, Vũ Bùi. I've a Rival 650 wirelees, the problem is the left click doesn't register sometimes, maybe out of 10 times it fails 1 time, so 1/10 fail. The fix you have in the video, would that fix my problem?
My new 650 has a squeaky sound in scroll wheel, especially when scrolling down. I have tested this on 600 model - same annoying sound. Can you please confirm this? I'm about to open it up and use some greace.
@@Guiltius I have opened it up and greaced the shaft as well as other parts of the scrolling wheel attachments. Also tightened all screws of the scrolling wheel assembly. Reused original mouse pads because I carefully removed them with a hairdryer. What makes me mad is why we have to do all these stuff ourselfs, especially when payong so much money?
@@Guiltius Glad I helped. But be aware that the rubber material on the side panels will come off in couple of months :( I wanted to love this mouse because of its look and feel but unfortunately it's another marketing trap, like Logitech G502 series crap.
