I've had my G602 so long I have literally no memory of buying it. Definitely since before the 2017 discontinuing so it lasted 10 years atleast. A true hero, absolutely got my money's worth from it.

I felt a bit sad just throwing it away after so much time so I thought I'd make a post about it. Maybe someone wants it for parts, but otherwise atleast I got to share my little sadness for a good quality product that's served me very well.

It stopped staying turned on. Once batteries went in, it would turn on for a few seconds then stop working. Tried what fixes I could find online to no avail.

You can barely customize the buttons on these anymore so it was probably time.

A shame to learn there's really no modern counterpart. Ended up replacing it with a razer basilisk V3 because it was the most similar in shape I could find.

Still using mine but the left click is starting to fail permanently.
It had a phase a couple of years ago where it liked to double click but that went away again after a while.

Now its starting to seriously double and triple click and sometimes not click at all.

Might have to start investing some time looking for a replacement. o7

It's usually just a simple switch to solder on...learn to solder. Mice switches are easy. Let the g602 live forever

My performance MX micro switch fails every 1- 2 years. I bought a cheap pack of 10 microswitches and open them up to use the springs as donors. Swap the worn spring for the new one and it's back in business, no need to even solder

Soldering would be no issue for me, but simply replacing a spring is even better. I will order some parts and try this. Thanks for the info :)

I don't have a Logitech Mouse, but I fixed the double-click problem for me by spraying 70% isopropanol alcohol under the mouse button

My G604 had a similar probelm. I even disassembled it and soldered in new microswitches, and it's already double-clicking again less than 6 months later
