Logitech G - G900 Chaos Spectrum

damn oos i was debating, my g900 started double clicking after 8 years

I have big hands and use G903 lightspeed, previously used G900. maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I like them, they work well and have lots of config options.

Add me as a negative vote for Naga Pro (No.9). I've owned three so far (one bought, two gifted, just so you don't think I'm insane for buying the same crap over and over expecting a better result). The rubber on the side disintegrates after a year, the scroll-click microswitch died on all three after two years, after five months, and after a year. Razer Synapse is dogshit, as well. Profiles get lost from time to time, especially if you have more than five game profiles, and their cloud saves magically stop working, losing all the profiles in the process, as well. The profile switcher is a hit and miss most of the time. The only good things about the mouse are the swappable thumb panels, and wireless/BT connectivity for multiple devices. I switch between 6/12 button layouts all the time, and I love it. Before that, I had a G900 and 903, three years apart, both had faulty microswitches on both LMB and RMB...

I went through 3 of these in under a year. The scroll wheel broke on 2 of them and the third one had the double click. Garbage. Haven't bought a razer product since. I had a razer keyboard that lasted awhile though. Pretty sure it still works i just swapped it for a k70 during a sale. Before anyone says it's user error, my Logitech g900 has been around now for what feels like 10 years. It definitely predates covid.

Logitech G900 or anything similarly shaped should help. Source: Having meat mits myself.

Razer haven’t been a great brand for a long time. When they relaunched in the mid 2000s it was a breath of fresh air and they made some good products. Unfortunately they’ve definitely become style over substance and cut many corners to save money. This shows with so many of their products having short lifespans. Not saying they are all bad, just personally I’ve been stung too many times with mice and headsets in the past and a friend recently got the latest viper and has had connectivity issues. I’ve got a g900 that’s 9 years old and has never let me down.

I have the same issue and haven’t found something that works, I still use a deathadder, I also have a g900 but I hate ambi mice

16 years ago I bought a logitech mouse and used it for everything including gaming from highschool through college. Friends also bought mice and never got new ones for years. Eventually after college, I got a gaming mouse and kept the old one for travel. I got another mouse as a spare for guests and started buying mice a little more frequently as I could afford it and wanted to find the perfect mouse. I kind of gave up after some years and figured I'd buy a nice mouse and stick with it, and got a logitech G900. The switches failed after a year or so. It was the first time that happened, and I heard a lot of buzz about light mice so I figured I'd just replace it with the prox superlight. Lasted a little longer, probably 2 years, JUST past the warranty, with the same double click failure. This time I looked into it and saw you could fix it, but decided I liked the light mouse and thought I'd get another brand, with a lighter mouse, so I got a WL-mouse. The WL-mouse failed in record time (10 months?) and I couldn't find my receipt, so I decided to try fixing. I got some omron switches recommended on this very subreddit and fixed my old superlight first in case I screwed up but luckily I made the fix without problems... until only a few weeks later it started double clicking. Not horribly but... ugh, certainly noticeable. A few times a day, I probably screwed up the install somehow. That was earlier this year and I recently found my old mouse and plugged it in and wouldn't you know it, it works just fine. What the hell man... I hear you can get optical switches but what's up with modern switches? Did I just get unlucky? Were old mice really better at not double clicking? I only really heard of mice dying flat out back then. My mom uses a special ergo trackball-like thing for mice and for her the trackball goes out every 3-5 years but that's still better than the 2 I got on my superlight. To add insult to injury, I used to only have one machine, but now I spread use between a work laptop, my phone, and pc (which I use a controller for more than ever now). How were those switches so durable during my peak MOBA gaming years? I should have never gotten a mouse when the old one wasn't broken... I don't want to bother fixing the WL-mouse if it's just going to fail again too, but I got 4 switches and can still fix it if I have to. I don't really want to buy another mouse, or even more switches. This old mouse is in rough shape and I don't like using AAA batteries over rechargeable, but the double clicking is bad (better on the fixed one, just a few times a day instead of every few clicks). Just feels bad as mice, and everything really, gets more expensive. Brand recommendations, and lightweight optical mice recommendations welcome. I don't think I'll get one yet but I can't imagine my fixed superlight will get better as time goes on. Worth noting it's hard to find a good search term in google trends, but generally I see an upward trend in recent years of mouse problems. Kind of funny since more people use touchscreens than ever! tldr: cheap old wireless mouse is a work horse and modern gaming mice apparently can't handle even one year of old man gaming. What's up with that?

I’ve been using a Logitech g900 chaos spectrum for about 9 years, only thing I changed is a magnetic charging port so all I have to do is retract a cable and magnetically swipe it on. It lasts for me about a week on the battery and has customizable buttons and plates. Used the basilisk as well for 6 months it just wasn’t it for me(and used plenty of other mice as well).

In fairness, I've got a Blackwidow Chroma that I bought over 10 years ago, still going strong - just replaced it because I no longer like the loud clicky keys, and wanted a lower-profile board. Paintwork still looks new on it. Conversely, I had a Razer mouse around the same time where the paint and grip parts eroded away within a couple of years - not a good experience there. I'm now on Logitech despite also not being blown away by the longevity - when I did email Logitech out of warranty about my old G900 mouse breaking on me, they sent me a replacement one. I also had one of their headsets which started crackling in one ear - which they immediately refunded for me for the full value after over a year. Resigned to the fact that you take a punt whoever you buy from, but Logitech at least has always just remedied my issues.

Unironically, the g900/g903 it is my favorite shape I have felt so stable with it in aiming when it first came out and I still use it for pixel perfect photography editing. Sometimes I come back to it for gaming but I have to admit that it's just too heavy but todays standards, and I find myself getting back to my pulsar x2h mini. I wish there was a g900 clone just lighter so bad. I also wanna try the regular x2h from Pulsar, held it in microcenter and it felt pretty good tbh
