Sometimes it's the darndest thing

[MrSquished]

So my desktop mouse, a nice Logitech G502 Proteus Core, started hiccuping and slowing down these last couple days. I'd tap on the DPI buttons to kick it up a notch and all would be ok. I checked and cleaned off my mousepad surface, but not the mouse. But it started doing the slowing down/stuttering thing a lot today, then the mouse simply stopped responding altogether.

I pull out my wireless Logitech mouse I use with my laptop. And that works. But not well. And that eventually stops responding. So I'm like this is a Windows issue. But call Logitech anyway, figuring they'd know some Windows solutions too. After a couple requests they ask me to clean the sensors of the mouse.

Lo and behold I flip the mice over to hit them with some canned air and a q-tip and see dust and lint over the sensors. I blow that shit out then wipe and voila, both mice are right back on point.

I just got flummoxed by dustballs on my mouse sensors? I'm an idiot. I thought to clean the mousepad, why not the mice themselves? Fucking was the darndest thing. It's usually the idiot behind the desk when we have IT issues innit. I mean I've been using computers for 25 years. Never ever has mouse sensor lint type stuff been an issue.

Post any of your idiotic brainfart moments

i'm a huge logitech fanboy but lately not so much. for 2 weeks my left click button would click 10x instead of one time. makes playing path of exile a real pain in the ass. But I will check the sensor now that you mentioned it.

Their warranty is great. They even offered me something after my headphones were out of warranty as a consolation once.

My last desktop mouse was an Anker and it was nice. But that one truly died way too soon. I do know that Logitech has regressed with quality but that's the only other option out there. Not a fan of Razer products.

I actually got a Razer mouse after my G500 died. It was out of warranty but I bought it with my Amex so they gave me an extra year of coverage and refunded my full purchase price of it. I don't like mice with all the bells and whistles so I got a Deathadder.

Happy with it so far.
