Wall light switch in my apartment is older than me. Clicked and abused every day for decades. Still fine.$80 “gaming” mouse starts double clicking after a few months.>same job: close a circuit>one built to outlive you>the other built to be landfill
>>107714344you click your mouse thousands of more time than your light little bro
>>107714344>Clicked and abused every day for decadesFar, far, far, far less than a mouse button.
I've never had a mouse button fail.No idea what junk you people buy?
>>107714344buy a cheap soldering station and and a 10 pack of decent switches. enjoy your infinite mouse
>>107714344are they even making money off dblclicks? ppl just get a replacement mouse. i ordered like 3 roccats and they all doubled so i just sent them back to amazon, thats at least 50% loss for roccat
>>107714344You spend 12 hours a day with your finger hovering over and using one of those switches.
>>107714441you dont need to solder you can just put a fresh leafspring in
>>107714344>he doesn't have mercury light switchesNGMI
>>107714344How many clicks do you click your mouse click button per day?Mine gets more per day than my light switch will get in 10 years.
>>107714451mechanically the reason they dblclick is only because of the voltage being below wetting, which is just incompetence on designers or planned obsolescence. they worked fine forever before they change the voltage

>>107714473go outside jeez
>>107714514Outside is boring.
>>107714486what are you on about retard
>>107714344>double clicking hardwareJust fix it in software bro.
>>107714481because of dust/grime or the spring wearing out
>>107714674no its just oxidation on the contacts. You can also fix them by cleaning w/ rubbing alcohol i think
>>107714674NTA but it's the wetting current and voltage being too lowYou didn't really hear much about bad mouse switches until the use of general purpose ARM microcontrollers started being used in them.ASICs actually meant for mice used 5V for the input pins.ARM based microcontrollers use much lower voltages. Sometimes 1v or even less.The switches used at the start of the epidemic of "bad switches" are exactly the same as the ones a decade ago but being operated out of spec means they don't work as reliably
