Okay, I made a post back around 4 months ago about the issues I've been having with my MX510 and it has only gone downhill. Don't get me wrong, this thing performs great in almost every way except one... and thats the buttons.
All of them I have had (about 5 or 6 of them now), have developed button "stickiness" and resistance issues within about 2 days to a month of having them. The best I can describe it is that the plastic top piece does not actualy sit on the swtich. When you press the button it it has to travel to the switch. Right before it meets the switch I get resistance and a click. It doesn't sound like much, but trust me its extremly annoying when your using it. Try to imagine as if there were a bunch of crumbs underneath your button... Infact thats what I thought was wrong wiuth my first mouse when it started failing.
Logitech replaced them every time with no hassle but its starting to really get to me now. The newest mouse I got is by far the worst, both of the buttons demonstrate this stickiness issue and the scroll wheel grinds instead of clicking.
I'm out of ideas... I payed 50.00 for this mouse when it was brand new and I don't think its unreasonable to expect good performance from them. The people with customer service are always nice and helpful, but they never provide me a solution. Its always just "We will be sending you a new one". While thats great that they back up their products, some true support and a solution to this problem would be nice. I have tried my own solutions on the old mice after the new ones exhibited the same problems and I have not yet found a solution. I have tried everything from tightnening the screws to heating the plastic top piece and rehaping it (which was a very bad idea.).
