Logitech M500 mouse click sensor problem

[sandman369]

Logitech M500 mouse. Sometimes it goes into a "failure state" for lack of a better term, where it will either double-click when I click once, or not register a click until I try a few times. This can last anywhere up to a few hours at a time. Is there any way to fix this myself? I've tried blowing compressed air into it but didn't help. I don't see any way of opening this thing up, there's no exposed screws or anything. I'd be willing to pry it open if there's instructions for doing that, since I'll probably be buying a new mouse if I can't fix this one.

In that secondary case, what are some good low-cost mice for mild gaming? I might just go for another M500, I really like the feel of it and its laser is quite responsive. Live in Canada btw.

You want to get a new mouse. They wear out.

But if you want to play (and I've disassembled a few myself) this video (for a different logitech mouse) will give you a feel for how to open it and what is inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66Cd2Y4IPs
