I have been a long-time user of Logitech products and have very few complaints. My go-to arsenal has been a Logitech G600 mouse and G610 keyboard for a number of years now. However, I often find myself dealing with an annoying double click issue with my G600.<\/p>\n

The Problem<\/h2>\n

The normally amazing G600 programmable mouse by Logitech<\/a> suddenly starts sending double-click signals whenever the LMB is clicked. There is a non-zero chance this happens with other buttons as well\u2014but the LMB is the only one that I experience issues with.<\/p>\n

The Fix<\/h2>\n

There are several approaches to getting a G600 mouse to quit sending double-click signals. They are listed here in order of commitment with notes on my successes over the years.<\/p>\n

Unplug it and plug it back in<\/h3>\n

Frustration Level<\/strong>: Cut it off and on again, LoL<\/p>\n

\"IT
When in doubt, just unplug it and plug it back in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I allow many problems to fester much longer than I rightfully should before trying the ‘ol\u00a0cut it off and on again<\/em> routine. In some cases, I’ve found the g600 double click issue can be remedied by simply unplugging the USB connection, waiting a moment, then plugging it back in again. It doesn’t\u00a0always<\/em> work\u2014but it’s nice when it does.<\/p>\n

Unplug it, press the LMB repeating with force for ~30 seconds<\/h3>\n

Frustration Level:<\/strong> I’m stopping mid-project to fix this<\/p>\n

\"g600
Repeatedly “mashing” the LMB while unplugged often solves the double-clicking signal issue (Jackhammer to Solve)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I resort to more forceful tactics when the simple unplug and plug back-in<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>approach doesn’t work. After unplugging my G600 I forcefully (read as\u00a0hammer<\/em> incessantly) press the LMB button, bang the mouse around on my desk, and chant a few key swear words. It works\u2014I don’t know why or how\u2014but this has solved the double-clicking issue with my G600 at least 5 times in the past 2 years.<\/p>\n

Switch profiles in Logitech G-Hub<\/h3>\n

Frustration level:<\/strong> This is worth the risk of disappearing my favorite profile settings.<\/p>\n

\"g600
Changing profiles in the G-Hub devices management software sometimes solves the problem as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have never found much to complain about regarding the G-Hub device management software. It lets one conveniently manage device settings, save data to the cloud for backup, or even store on-device (in the case of the G-600 at least.) When the previous steps don’t work I have had luck (at least once) in resetting my device profile and starting fresh. This can get a bit sticky\u2014my suggestion is to only try this option if you’ve noticed a software update recently.<\/p>\n

Adjust Windows Mouse Sensitivity Settings<\/h3>\n

Frustration Level<\/strong>: New mouse is ordered but this is driving me crazy.<\/p>\n

At this point, we enter the territory of adjusting system settings to accommodate hardware bugs. When it comes to essential components like GPUs, CPUs, Fans or etc. I consider OS adjustments fair tradeoffs in many cases. I’m much less keen on tweaking OS settings to fix a faulty peripheral. Nonetheless, Windows allows users to tweak mouse settings than can provide yet-another option to fix the G600 double click issue.<\/p>\n

Installing Macro Software<\/h3>\n

Frustration Level<\/strong>: I’m digging out my two-button mouse if this doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

I’ve never gone down this path but there exists software such that one can ignore click-signals from one’s mouse within a certain threshold of frequency. In other words, a software solution to ignore clicks less than ~30ms apart (adjustable to frequency.) Being that I’ve never tried this option personally, I won’t make any product recommendations. If you have used such a product in the past don’t hesitate to reach out and describe your experience (maybe we can include it here!)<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

If all the above options fail there is always the option to buy a new G600 mouse<\/a>. I have become such a fan of this mouse over the years that I hardly think twice about picking up another one. Currently, I estimate I go through one g600 every 1.5 years on average. That’s like ~$20\/yr which I am happy to pay for the boost in productivity I get from this product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
