Every year or two, I wear out the left click button on my mice - starts double clicking.  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)...

I would say, buy a mouse, keep the box and the receipt, register the darn thing with the manufacturer, and get those RMA'd. 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.....?

1-year warranty...  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.

if replacing switches  use  solding iron  that is EDS or heat up iron then unplug  iron so that no electricity is transmitted to your work or can use a butane  gas iron  with no worrys

first use a side cutters to remove switch from PCB by cutting it off down to contacts that enter PCB

so  much easyier to unsolder the old switch  and  use a solder sucker to clear out hole  in PCB

after remove contact to make room for the new switch contact

Note: use  60/40 solder non acid core

Thanks!  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.
