without disassembly? buy a new one. hehe

Make the mouse left-handed. That way you can use the less worn-down right mouse button as a left-click.

Bili ka bago Roy :)

blow really hard thru the openings? ala famicom cartridge?:P

A double-click problem typically means that the retension spring mechanism has been pushed/worn down to the point where the computer is interpreting the resulting slower springback as a second click. Only solution without having to open the mouse and retension the spring is to buy a new one.

Kaya ako nanghihinayang kasi I actually didn't buy one of the cheap generic mice this time. It's a Logitech G302. Not super expensive (mga 1800 ko ata nakuha), but I'm disappointed because it lasted less than a year. I don't have the manual dexterity to attempt to repair something with small parts myself

Have you tried plugging that mouse to a different computer? Sometimes it's not a hardware problem.

Uh, disassembly is easy depending on the model. I have an old Imperator that I fixed with some wd40, but it took opening the plastic case

Other than that, just buy a new one. The cheapest one I have seen is sold in CDR-King, for 80 pesos.

If it's a higher end mouse (worth thousands), and double clicking is the only problem then retensioning the spring (it's not really a corscrew type spring) might be worth it. I only ever did that with one mouse in the last 20 years (a Razr). Each time the repair lasted about 4-6 months. I only changed the mouse when it started double clicking again just 1 month after the last repair.

try looking for the Dragon War Thor G9 sa Data Blitz. Mga 750 lang ata, comes with a mousepad pa. been using it since 2013, no problems. :)

the spring mechanism of the switch is reaaaally small, haha. taking it out is easy, putting it back in is the challenge.

Currently using a Dragon War mouse. Over a year old and still doing awesome.

even if you replace it you need to take a switch from a working mouse. yung dragonwar sa datablitz is hit or miss. meron ako dragonwar na working na for 4 years. meron din ako binili nasira in 3 months.

Not yet. I've swapped in a different mouse though, and this mouse works fine (except it's too tiny for my hands)

Also, might be purely coincidence, but my mom's laptop's Logitech B100 mouse had a bad case of this double-click issue. I just cleaned it externally with a brush (including in between the cracks and spaces) and it seemed to have made it better / fixed it completely. I would also check if the mouse is still under any store / manufacturer warranty and return it for repairs / replacement, if possible.

Same problem, unintentional double click

If it's anything like what Ritchie describes, I can't do it :p

It isn't, you just open the mouse up, find the switch corresponding to the malfunctioning button, spray WD40 into it and get into it with a brush. Check if the problem is solved before closing it back up.

Note: The WD40 (lubricant) fix works if the reason you're double clicking isn't so much as the spring getting depressed/ worn, but rather the switch (TINY button/spur which depresses said spring) snagging on the mechanism casing (again making for slower springbacks which the PC interprests as a second click). If the lubricant works you won't have to fiddle with the spring.

If lube doesn't work, then yeah spring issues

@roytang how about taasan mo yung delay?

@alvinjtang wa epek

Update: after I had to give back the replacement mouse, I plugged the Logitech back in and the problem seems to have (mostly) fixed itself. The mouse has a healing factor!
