Performance MX Click Issue

[pit5000]

Apparently this is a common problem. When I push down the mouse button it sometime registers the click, many times it would register a double click.. on releasing the button the same thing happens. So I would get double, triple or sometime quadruple clicks when I hit the mouse button.

 

There are videos around saying you have to fix the switch by opening it up and bending a piece of metal inside. Some other people say you can remove the batteries and tap all the buttons until some static discharge is gone and it should work just fine. The latter solution didn't really work for me.

 

I'm hesitant to open up my mouse because I usually break stuff I work on.... Is there any other solution or should I just get a new mouse?

Wow, that's a bummer.  I have been using my Performance MX for years without any problems other than I forget to keep it charged.  Hope you get it figured out.  Good Luck.

Get a new mouse. Sounds like the switch is dead. Luckily, tis the season. Black Friday is right around the corner.

does anybody have a recommendation for a mouse? I just want something that feels good (similar ergonomics to Performance MX) and reliable
