      Yeah, Logitech. I’m going to need to open up my G900 soon because the left mouse button is starting to do the same thing my G7 did back in the day. I hope it’s not more awkward due to the non-removable battery (or less removable, I guess), but the glide pads are larger on this one, I hope they adhere well after being lifted.

      I just broke through the ones on my G7. Luckily they didn’t bend downwards from pulling the screws out.

      Actually, this time I might even look into getting a better switch instead of fixing the one they put in it. If that’s even a thing, and if there even are more durable mouse button switches because it has been pressed a lot over the years.

      It totally is a thing, both getting new switches on their own and the availability of a range of qualities: https://www.maketecheasier.com/replace-faulty-mouse-switches/

      The law doesn’t say they can’t make it difficult to service, just that they can’t deny your warranty because you did.
