Really sucks having to fork over another $50-$100 each time. I just googled the problem and apparently the switches can be repaired or replaced! I have a Logitec Laser and a Roccat Kone XTD which experience this problem. Both have Omron D2FC-F-7N switches. The Roccat has the (RT) type, which I think is just the custom build designation for RoccaT. Anyone have any experience fixing or replacing these? The youtube video for bending that copper bracket looks tricky. I might just order some new ones, but Digikey and Mouser don't carry them (only Ebay, which may or may not be genuine Omron)...

Usually Logitech is good with this, if you got all your ducks in a row. I own a Corsair M65 Sniper mouse and I start to get double-click on the thumb button I use for "jump" in FPS games....And guess what...I'm an idiot, cause I didnt keep the box and the receipt.....

Always happens just over 1 year. I'll try re-bending the clips. If that fails, I'll spend $5 and pick up a bunch of new switches and solder them in place. Part of the reason why this happens is that I'm still an avid GTA San Andreas player - to level up heath and bike abilities, you need to click the left button a shitload.

Those are great tips. I ended up re-bending the spring (very tedious). We'll see how long it lasts. I have the new switches in my Amzon cart just in case...

LOL - I've changed out clocksprings. Never bothered to repair them (solder connections) - the F'Up factor is too high for my time/value ratio.
