I clicked 'Like' for this video but my Corsair mouse double clicked and now it's gone... :(

You have saved me from buying a new mouse, but more importantly from replacing one of my favorite mice Thank You!

Corsair M65s are my jam and have been for years. I've got one sitting in a box that I broke the scroll wheel on when I tried to take it apart to clean it last year and my newer one just started double-clicking yesterday. Hence why I've watched this video. My original idea was to find out how to replace the faulty switch with the perfectly fine one from my old mouse. But now that I see soldering is involved for that to happen, it just dawned on me that I can put my newer scroll wheel into the older mouse in place of the one I broke.
I realize that none of that has anything to do with this video, but still, thank you for taking the time to show everyone how it's done.

Word of warning: when you pop off the switch for the button, point it TOWARD the table, or else the miniscule button on the interior of the switch will LAUNCH into oblivion, never to be found again

Thank you so much for not using music. These quiet repair vids are informative but also relaxing, in a weird way. Any time there's music in videos like these, I just skip forward or mute.

This video was absolutely awesome. Another tip for you all in the comment section: At the end of re-assembly, I was driving myself crazy trying to get the mouse 1 button to click normally after clicking the cover back into place. Turns out the screw underneath mouse 1 attaching the motherboard to the mouse needed to be tightened a bit more to get the correct spacing. Mouse is now as good as new! I got this for free from a friend so totally worth a bit of tinkering, now I have a nice mouse for my first gaming PC 👌

Excellent tutorial! What I found most difficult is to replace the cover after the whole operation. And also to reposition the metal clicking part inside the button. Be careful not to use force on it; if it bends, it will loose its clicking ability. I managed to bend it back, since I was a little too brute the first time

I had the mouse for 4 months, and I thought I was crazy... thank you. This mouse should be recalled.

"Deteriorates over time" I just have this mouse for 2 months....

[alexr.]

all that in 13 min. I am impressed. Thank you for this video, very helpful. Damn Corsair and their dbl clicks.

This FIXED IT! Thank you so much! I was literally going to throw my mouse against a brick wall...

[lavagelada]

Of course, it only took me 3 hours to do this because when assembling it back, the copper piece bent. But thanks to you, I saved some cash and got to fix something, which is always entertaining. Thank you so much! <3

Ah man. You are a legend. Just today I was about to go and get a new mouse in the shop, but then I decided to see if I can find something. Did exactly what you showed on my Harpoon RGB. Before the fix had 19 double clicks out of 100. After the fix 0 double clicks out of 200. You saved me around 70 euro. Thanks a lot. Best of luck. :)

Saved my sanity bro. This mouse was literally driving me insane. Works great now after watching this. Appreciated.

"Deteriorates over time" - Using my 3rd RMA in a span of 6 months. Whatever the hell Omron is doing, they're doing it wrong.

This worked on my first attempt. It was a pretty hard process of uninstalling and reinstalling the parts but it is definitely worth the time. Just be mindful of where you place the parts, especially the mouse switch components.

I've had my m65 since 28 october 2017 and the double click issue arrised about a year and a half into having the mouse.
It comes and goes but really you want to replace the switch with one designed for heavy use, i still havent and im now looking to buy a switch so i can solder it in.
Gotta love how corsair skimp out on nasty leafblade switches, they are the worst kind you could use that do not last long at all.
I hate how manufacturers are more concerned about making products which fail within a short period of use and need to be replaced, no one seems to make products that last.

My switch completely went blank. Not even double clicking, straight up not working. I did this with no experience and managed to do it. Thank you SO much, you're a lifesaver

[KiraDoyle]

I don't usually leave comments but I will make an exception: THANK YOU! Very helpful and simple information, I was desperate having to change my mouse, but I followed your instructions and it worked wonders! :)
As some others said: the tricky part is placing the metal part back in place as it needs to be properly fitted to keep its clicking properties. Just take your time and don't put too much force into it.

I bought TWO of this stupid mouse. The first one, about 8 months into use it started with double clicking. We did everything to fix it - spraying air (worked for a week), uninstalling iCue (did nothing), and then finally using this video. It fixed it for about 2 weeks and then back to double clicking. I read online that the faulty parts were upgraded in the newer models of this mouse - so stupidly, I purchased another from Best Buy. Not even a month and a half later - DOUBLE CLICKING AGAIN. I love the model of the mouse and I am extremely mad and bummed out at this quality of this. I'm not hard on my mouse at all, and there's no excuse for it wearing down as fast as it does. I'm done with this brand. Hope this is a useful warning to anyone stumbling on this video for a fix.
