The catch here is I have tried multiple brands and they all end up having the same double click issue because the internal switch is a component sourced by nearly all these companies the same. I've taken the switch apart to manually fix it, following some online guide, and seeing how thin and tiny the copper metal inside that needs to be bent back is, you realize how insanely delicate it is and this is clearly some part of planned obsolescence, as the only logical explanation.
With that being said, for basically the best mouse out there, with Logitech's proprietary free scroll, I just accept that this sucks and live with it for $30.
Until companies make their own switches with higher quality, the double click issue isn't going away anytime soon. I made the mistake of buying some fancy $120 mouse once, only to encounter the same double click issue, only to find out after researching online that this $120 mouse had the same switch as a $30 mouse, and I told myself never again.
So, imo, if this mouse has what you like, at $30, just go with it. As a very heavy user myself, it still will last me a while. I probably put in the equivalent in 18 months as an average user might in 5+ years.

I hardly get time to play games, but if you were seriously competitive this mouse would be way too heavy (50+ grams too heavy) but for everyone else, it's a workhorse mouse. good number of customizable buttons and the free spinning wheel is unbeatable.
One limitation, not specifically of this mouse, but mice of this form factor in general, is the strain it puts on my wrist, but I've remedied that with a delta hub wrist rest (Carpio v2), which is entirely worth the cost.
I keep seeing things about double-clicking problems on this mouse. Any thoughts on the reliability of these?

But on the topic of mice, when the scroll wheel of my beloved MX518 started jamming up, I ended up getting a G700S hybrid wireless/corded (I use it corded) mouse and after 8 years, it's still rolling on with no double-click issues. I just dislike that no games seem to recognize any buttons beyond the basic five so the extra two side buttons and others aren't mappable without mucking with the Logitech software.
I've also got a Logitech Illuminated low profile keyboard which works fine after I can't even remember how long. Easily 10 years.
