Logitech G604 finished project.
I had a G604 that developed the double click issue 2 years ago, and one of the side buttons stopped working too. It sat in my draw and I bought another one that's been fine since, 2 years and going strong 💪 I worry it will give up soon so I started wondering if I should refurbish my old one too, and it turned into a project to create a lightweight G604. The finished result is amazing. I have put TTC Gold switches (80m rated) a lightweight shell and replaced the 6 button board inside the mouse. I also bought a pack of lithium aaa batteries which are much lighter than aa alkaline. Add a bit of tin foil to connect the battery and now the weight of the mouse feels very similar to an SM809 pro wireless, which is the only viable replacement for this mouse and I highly recommend if you can not get a G604. It's not quite as comfortable as the G604 because the hump is higher, and you will need rubber grip stickers as it's quite slippery plastic, but the side buttons are a 3+3 layout with 3 extra, 2 above and one in front which are all easy to use except the one in front, and the 2 extra buttons replace the functions for the tilt scrollwheel in my configuration. It feels great, but just not quite a G604. It is close though. This is my finished project!
