So me and my cousin have confirmed this mouse right-clicks on heavy touchdown when making lift off movements in cases such as FPS games and low sensitivity where a quick turn is very important. I don't play as heavily as he does but I was able to confirm this mouse does right-click from short drops or touchdown.

Just a heads up, this seems like a major oversight by logitech if it's made for the "gamer" crowd.

Just tried to do this. Doesn't happen with mine.

I don't lift my mouse when gaming so this really isn't an issue for me, but mine will do this if I intentionally try and make it happen. I do lift my mouse a lot while browsing and it's never done it for me then; hasn't happened at all through normal use. I didn't even know about the issue until watching the video you linked.

Also, is your cousin using a hard mat? I use a QcK mass, and I assume the thickness will cause this to be even less of an issue for me.

But, yeah. Kinda dumb that it happens.

Yeah I've been following this mouse intensely, I've never heard of this problem til now. Maybe you got a defective from factory mouse. Also, almost any mouse that has clickers like that will click when you slam it down in that fashion. Even the RAT/MMO 7 does that when you try to make it do it.
Simple solution, be nicer to your mouse.

We both own hard mousepads yes and I never had this happen with my G9/X for the years I used them, infact, no previous Logitech mouse I own can exhibit this issue. Either mice are becoming way too sensitive these days or QC is an issue.

When making quick turns in FPS games it involves lifting and placing the mouse down, a gaming mouse should be able to handle this kind of rough use because it's what it was made for. Almost any competitive player does this especially when using limited surface area.

Slammed my mouse down much harder then anyone ever would gaming and mine doesn't do it either. I'm thinking your finger is just hitting the button. I have a 304 stainless mousepad - it doesn't get any harder then that.

Keep in mind the farther to the edge you are the easier it is to clink due to leverage since its a long button.

No, I don't think that's the case. It does it for me without having any fingers on any buttons, and the video shows that as well.

But like I said, it certainly doesn't do it for me under normal usage. I have to intentionally make it happen. I can see it definitely being an issue with people who pick up their mouse when gaming.

 

[pathfindercod]

I have three of them, none of them do it

 

[semantics]

Mine doesn't do it, I will note that the right click has more play than the left click i can pull it up further but it doesn't accidently click by putting it down hard. Pretty sure you just got a defective one.

 

[Nickjames]

I don't even have to slam it, I can drop it from less than half an inch and it causes it. It's very annoying when trying to quick snipe someone in CS:GO and suddenly your scoping or putting on a silencer. Maybe it is a defect but it's happening to a good majority. Not sure if it's worth me exchanging.

Good majority you and your cousin vs 5 people here that can't replicate your issue. I'd roll the dice on exchange.

The RMB has a tiny bit of play compared to the firm left button, and I can 'replicate' this on both of my G502's. However it only does that right click with an -unrealistic- amount of force/dropping that you would never do under real playing conditions. I never made it happen under COD Black Ops 2 or league of legends, so this is a complete non issue..

My deathadders and even my old intellimouse explorer 3.0 would not click if you simply free-dropped the mouse, but if you were HOLDING the mouse and dropped it like that, your finger would press LMB or RMB, as they were so easy to depress. Which is basically the exact same thing (and I remember doing that accidentally nonstop in UT2004, until I 'stiffened' up the RMB, and that was a BIGGER issue than this unrealistic 'drop the mouse and right click' test).

I was never able to accidentally cause RMB to depress except by intentionally using unrealistic LOD/dropping to make it happen. I can't make it happen with a normal LOD and putting it back down with 'more' than the normal drop rate (e.g. using my wrist to make it drop ***ster). Now if I SLAM it, yes it happens, but why would anyone slam the mouse?

BTW, its the 'vibration' of the right mouse button that's causing it to press when you slam it down like that.

Plus that is just going to either wear the pad down faster, or wear out your feet faster.

This mouse has a 1.2mm lift off distance..why would you lift it 2 inches off the pad and then slam it down?

 

[BulletSponge]

Hmm, mine does it also.

 

[Falkentyne]

I just did a lot of fast swipes and pickups and it doesn't happen with any normal usage. It's really a non factor, which is why no one noticed it until it was mentioned.

 

[Ino.]

Mine does not in any real use scenario. I can do it artificially (dropping down with force causes the rmb to lift and then come back down on the switch) but that does not happen in normal play, I don't abuse my mouse.
I had a lot more accidental rmb presses on the DA when I used that.

 

[boogdud]

Return your mouse. I have two of them neither do it. Not on a soft pad, not on a hard pad, not even on bare wood.

Your mouse is defective.

I'm getting tired of these hyperbolic anecdotal posts trying to scoop some kind of controversy.

^THIS.
You could simply give the deathadder a dirty look and you would accidentally press the RMB.
The same with the intellimouse explorer 3.

I found a dirty way to help alleviate it; just throwing a thin folded piece of napkin into the button would create more resistance and stop that from happening. You could also, on the deathadders, pry the RMB lever out of the socket position carefully, and then give it a little very careful bending up (while making sure you don't break or damage the lever at the far end of the shell. You could do the same for LMB. Then you would get enough resisitance to not do accidental presses.

But yeah, super light button RMB deathadder pressing was far more serious, and a commom complaint about the DA mice.

 

[Longasc]

I could not get the right mouse button to activate like that, even when trying. But I didn't throw it down on the pad either.

But yeah, the right mouse button is a bit loose and I managed to pull it up a little just by lifting the ring finger at times. But I manage to do the same with my G400 and its right mouse button. Must have gecko hands, can do this even when they are not sweaty.

 

[royalkilla408]

I couldn't make this happen on mine. Exchange it.

 

[CeeSA]

I think it is possible that the "Mousewheel of plumb" is the reason for this. I will send back mine soon.
