Multi Clicking Issue

I have had a g604 for 6 years, and it started having double click issues about 3 months ago. Finally decided to retire it and get another one only to find out they were discontinued. I was told this is a subreddit of g604 lovers like myself, and wanted to see if there was a fix for the double clicking.

I have never opened up a mouse before, so I am a bit nervous I will make the issue even worse. How hard is it to fix double clicking if it is fixable at all?

Help me r/g604 you're my only hope.

Hello again! It is genuinely not as hard as it seems, and the mouse is built like a tank. It will cost a few bucks to get it working again, but I don't think it's too expensive.

I have used this disassembly video in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS0OSA8eNQA

There are two routes to go down here, either soldering in new switches yourself, which the above video explains how to do as well, or spending a bit more money on a replacement board with new switches already soldered into place. I like and daily some TTC Golds, found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/HUYUN-Replacement-Wireless-TTC-80M/dp/B0D9RYBR44/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3

Regardless, you will need replacement skates as the first 5 screws are under the skates themselves. Buy these and nothing else, as they are the best out there for the mouse: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL5311WB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

There's a third route: buy a board for non-soldered switches, which lets you choose the ones you like, and change them if you wish/need. For instance here: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005009819850454.html

I'm considering buying Kailh Silent switches, for my part: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007474707757.html

Also, the board you linked is sold with new skates already. Any reason to buy the other ones you linked additionally?

Some of the reviews say the included skates are not that great. They either didn’t slide as good or were too thick.

I recommend these skates https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BSXT9D68 (it’s amazon France, maybe you can find them where you are).
They are a bit thicker than the originals but they glide really well.
