lemons and more lemons

I successfully revived my dying wireless mouse. Thanks to Google and a step-by-step guide that I found over at overclock.net, I managed to fix my auto-double-clicking  Logitech M305 mouse.

I’ve never had so much hassle over a piece of disposable PC peripheral because I usually buy the cheap ones which I just throw away once they get broken.

If you will notice, Logitech is not really a cheap brand. The mouse that I bought actually costs five times more than the unbranded ones. And it really annoys me that of all the mice that I bought, this is the only one that did not even reach 6 months of sporadic use. Considering that the only reason why I bought this is for its ‘renowned’ quality, it’s annoyingly ironic.

We don’t have service centers for Logitech from where I’m from and I’ve already lost the purchase receipt so I really can’t do anything about this but try to fix it myself.

With the help of the step-by-step guide that I found, I replaced the problematic copper springs with ones that I took off of an old set that I no longer use.

So far, it has been working properly. Due to this experience (and another one on my ‘lemon’ Logitech Wireless Keyboard), I don’t think I will be buying anything Logitech in the near future – or until they’ve established a service center locally.
