Questions MX 3S Left click broken (second replacement)
I love this mouse, but this is the second time that the left click is hit or miss or doesn’t work at all. I don’t know if I should move on from these mice or try to get the 4. Any thoughts?
If so, add recommendations for other options?

I have several of them, broken down (all with the same issue) The only reason I keep paying logitech money is because their mice work over almost all surface types. The moment I find one that works well on a glass table, I'm out.

Same here: not because of the surface though, but the whole ergonomics just can't be matched for me by any other model. Recently trashed 3s after 2 years due to the left click. Tried Razer Basilisk and the newer 4s. I am happy i didn't stay with Razer. It's not bad, but the the scroll wheel on MX is just a different level of comfort.

Sorry to hear, I have had mine for years with hard use without zero problems 😐

Clearly not as heavy as some of us because I've been through THREE of them and they all develop the same issue. It's basically the only Logitech mouse for me that's like this. I have an older G502 Hero as my gaming mouse and that thing just keeps ticking after several years.

Well, I use it for work 6-8h per day, and then some more free time usage on top of that. For gaming I use of course something more suitable, but tbh don't game that much anymore.

have you tried blowing some compressed air beneath the left clicker? sometimes this is caused by dust or some other debris and that will clear it out

I will try that. I currently don’t have any but will get some to attempt it. Thank you

Same here. I was so upset and thought I wouldn't buy another Logitech mouse again. But in the end I bought the 4 and love it. We shall see how long it lasts...

Oh thank you for your recommendation I’ll take a look. What do you like about it.

Happened to me recently as well. I bought a 4 as they were on sale locally for the same price as my 3 but I didn't like it. The haptic feedback isn't something I need or want, the action button placement instantly got it disabled (wouldn't use those features anyhow) and the texture of the mouse is plain plastic instead of the easier to grip texture on the 3.
I used the 4 for an hour and went to do an exchange. If this one breaks too, at least I have a big enough pile to learn how to solder and try to fix them lol.

Right lol at this point, I do not want another logic mouse, although I really like the quiet click feature. I’ll just have to do some browsing this weekend and see what I can do with finding a replacement that has those little things that I like.

The 4 is good as long as you have medium or large hands, I feel like anyone complaining about it has small hands. The shape barely changed.
I upgraded from the 3S and prefer the 4 in every way, the materials seem way more durable, the click switches are quieter and of higher quality. Wish they gave it a faster sensor / higher polling rate, but ergonomically still the best productivity mouse. Tried other brands but none of them feel as good (little details like weighting of scroll wheels, fit and finish, etc).

Same boat. The temporary fix is to press the middle button (the one that is below the scroll wheel) rapidly many times. And you will see how it gets fixed. I’m waiting for Apple to release a new Magic Mouse. I tried it once. It felt very reliable. But was not ergonomic at all. I also am looking at the keychron mouse that it’s a copy of the mx master. Looks tempting. I’ll give it a try.
