I just got the Logitech Performance MX and I love the design, ergonomics, rechargeable battery + cord, the textured sides and even the weight of it but the scroll wheel/middleclick is bugging the poo poo out of me. Is it normal for that middle click to be so hard to hit? For now I've set the scroll-left to middle click but it's still difficult to hit without scrolling while the wheel is free. I could just bind one of the four thumb buttons to do this but I'm too used to opening new tabs with it. I think I'll try it for a few more days and if it's still bugging me trade it in for either a Marathon, Anywhere or M510. I'd even go for the G700 if I wasn't worried about having the same problems with the wheel. Anyone else had a similar problem with the scrollwheel or good experiences with any of these Logitech mice?

Griz posted:My MX Revolution was like that and I had to remap the tilt-wheel to middleclick because it was too hard to click it without accidentally scrolling. What I ended up doing (and I still have twenty-something days to exchange it at Best Buy) is remapping the lower of the three thumb buttons (not the big rubberized one on the rest) to middle click because it's the resting position of my thumb and using the unreliable scroll button for "next" and the left and right scrolls for volume. The offset angle of using my thumb is kind of annoying and might be more so for gaming though. According to the comments on Logitech's forums a lot of people have had problems with the scroll click and they will mail you a replacement while allowing you to keep using yours until you receive it as long as you give them a valid credit card number for a deposit. With free shipping that's an incredible reason to stay with the Performance, as I love the feel of this thing. I could be wrong about this policy though and should probably call and ask if they still do. I wish BB would carry that Sidewinder X8 mentioned above too. You'd think they'd have it for order on their website even if they don't want to stock it.

Medikit posted:My Logitech Mx300 just broke. I've been using it for almost 10 years. Before using this mouse I had used a Microsoft intellimouse with a ball so you can see I am picky and partial to mice. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. I don't really want a lot of buttons on my mouse, I just want something that is comfortable and works well. It's sort of a long shot for a ten y/o mouse, but you could try contacting Logitech and politely asking if it can be fixed. I read a lot of their (and other sites') support forums after I bought my Performance MX and the one thing that convinced me to keep it was so many people saying how good their return policies were. There's a slim chance they'd replace yours. Satisfying a picky customer generates a lot of positive press to offset some of the bad stuff about screwy scroll wheels, I think.

Goo posted:The Darkfield laser in the Performance MX uses battery life faster because the amount of information the sensor needs to collect to track on glass is significantly higher than, say, the VX Revolution. If you want a mouse with long battery life, there are mice with sensors that are designed to get longer battery life. There's a very real tradeoff between exceptionally high performance (like tracking on glass) and battery life. You can get very good tracking performance with significantly improved battery life by selecting a different product. Yeah, mine goes about three days before I have to plug it in. My old Intellimouse lasted forever on one AA. I still prefer it, but it means I have to pack one more cord when traveling.

Lemur Crisis posted:Is repainting mice a thing that can practically be done? I can't find one that looks just exactly right, so I'd like to do that provided it doesn't require stupidly expensive paint or something. Here's someone who did an okay job of it. I would think model paint or fingernail polish would be cool if you had a beige mouse you wanted to art up, although I don't know about the hand feel after it dries.

Holy poo poo I just held my Performance MX up to my ear and it does it too.  It seems to be coming from the DarkField laser port thingie. And the frequency noodles around as I move it over my ear.

So I bought a $100 mouse a while back and while I love the stupid thing the left button is double clicking, the right mouse button is sticky and it isn't tracking for poo poo. Does anyone now if Logitech is still doing the thing where they'll ship you a replacement, and if so should I go on their forums and whinge or email someone? Thoughts?

SkyEnzo posted:Sorry to hear that. The MX is a joy to use. Mine recently broke but lasted many years and though I wont be buying another one (maybe one day) I will always think highly of that mouse. I used to hear great things about their replacement policy so hoping you get one that isnt so hosed. I submitted a warranty claim on the support site so here's hoping all I need to do is ship it to them for a replace/refurb. They're getting back to me in two business days so we'll see.

So I ordered a G602 yesterday because it was a great deal on amazon prime but looking at the specs again I noticed the whole 2 battery thing and it made me think, does this thing have a charger like the MX Performance I've been using? It says it ships with a cable to extend the USB dongle but nothing about a charging cable. It'd suck to have to buy batteries for it or get a whole separate charger thing. I'm spoiled because my old one is still running on the battery it came with. Hopefully I can fix the left button that's been plaguing me on the Performance that I'd been scared to disassemble if that is the case and have the gaming mouse as a spare. The G602 looks kinda silly but I do appreciate the extra buttons.

Rexxed posted:I don't own a G602 but I believe it uses standard AA batteries instead of an internal one. Goo posted a couple of years ago about batteries lasting a long time in his G602 and the mouse being very responsive even on the endurance setting. Thank you. I saw a guide for generic Logitech switch fixes but that link is probably better. The reason for my confusion was the Performance also has essentially an AA battery but it's Li- and charges internally and I just assumed that'd be standard with something priced at 80 bucks.

ultrabay2000 posted:RE: battery life This is good advice. Specifically the part about looking at Costco, I need to check that out. I ended up fixing my Performance MX (still running great on its original Sanyo Eneloop like you mentioned) and sending back the G602 as it wasn't an improvement. It's clickier than ever now and the thing that finally rubbed me the wrong way about the 602 was that it's mouse wheel tilts left and right but however you move it it registers as M3, with no way to change it in settings. So given that the MX has those two buttons plus the hidden one in the thumb rest it's only two fewer than the ones the gaming mouse has (which it uses to adjust DPI by default.) And you can dedicate a button on the MX to adjusting DPI (only two settings but enough for me.) Other points against it were battery replacement and the low weight makes it feel "cheap" relative to the MX although they are about the same size:  The finish felt like it'd definitely keep clean as some reviews mentioned but the matte surface feels "cheaper" again than the MX's grippy sides. You can see in the pic the old one's buttons tend to get glossy from wear and I'll admit the G602 felt/looks better there. The six thumb button cluster was maybe a bit much for me too but that's probably just cuz I'm used to the 3+1 mapped the way I like on my old one. tl;dr goon is old, likes old thing

Bieeardo posted:I've got a 602; the cord is just for plugging the not-Unifying RF dongle in. It takes 2 regular AA batteries, and is quite gentle on them in endurance mode. Yeah, someone was complaining about it being jittery maybe because they had the dongle in the back of a gaming tower or something but I had no problem with it plugged into the side of my laptop without the extension. Nice mouse really and I probably should have kept it but it felt like a waste of money after I'd repaired my old one.

Chuu posted:After ~3 years my G502 is starting to die. Specifically, when I left click; sometimes it comes out as a double click and is incredibly annoying. I'm not sure what the expected lifetime of a daily-use mouse is; but considering my MX512 lasted over a decade it's a little disappointing. I can tell you exactly what is causing it (look up) and that it is physically possible to fix it yourself. Although when I did my MX Performouse I managed to screw up the feet which were covering the screw holes. It's a tiny piece of copper that you have to gently flex back into shape. Also you have to fit it back where it came from which is fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCcjd4ZMgnY Not sure if this is the exact video because the best ones have a tight close-up of the exact part and what you need to do to it and how to put it back in. Or just buy a new one.  I have a theory that this is so common with Logitech mice because every other part of them lasts so long it's inevitable. And that they secretly channel money into cookie-clickers

Duct Tape posted:What's out there right now with a similar size/shape as a G9X? Preferably still with that hyperscroll (which I guess means Logitech, unless someone else is making scrollwheels like that). Not to backtrack the thread to my mouse but the Performance MX has this and it's incredibly nice, still. The G602 felt really bad in comparison and I can almost understand why logitech.com will show you a picture of a performance with the price tag of 99.99 which is what I paid at worst buy years ago. This was with the expectation that I'd be returning it in a couple of days for store credit. Also, yeesh if you have small hands stay away from the 602 and the MX they're yuge Anyone used the successors to the Performance Maus? One of them looked pretty sharp with the new graphics package but another reason to go to Best Buy is just to get your hands on it.

The Lord Bude posted:I bought a G703 about 4 or 5 months ago, and It's recently developed a problem where the scrollwheel will periodically reverse direction - eg I'll be scrolling down the page, and the page will suddenly scroll up for a split second, or vice versa. This has over the past few days become more pronounced to the point where in any given period of scrolling it will happen once every several rotations of the scrollwheel. It has become impossible to use the mouse to scroll through a document - I have to click and drag the scrollbar. I hate to speak out of turn but it's a known issue with a lot of mice. It just reads wrong. Presumably something's dirty. Try hitting it.

Bruegels Fuckbooks posted:logitech customer service in the us used to be legendarily good, like to the point you could just send a mouse in and get a replacement for any reason after any period of time no questions asked. i wouldn't know if it's still like that because i haven't had a problem with a logitech mouse since 2005. They're still coasting on that reputation with us olds but it's not like that at all anymore. Physically I've not had a problem besides the inevitable necessary home repair on the LMB but somewhere between Windows 10 and Chrome (and FF) you can run into trouble with smooth scroll such that you can not scroll at all in either browser but you can scroll in explorer. So you end up doing a bunch of troubleshooting steps particular to a browser before you find out it's smoothscroll that's at fault. Then on the Logitech support forums someone says hallelujah my problem has been solved and the solution is to turn off the feature.
