Logitech Performance MX: Fix Middle Click
Hey
this is how to fix the middle click of your Logitech Performance MX mouse.
Normally if you press on the wheel, the wheel should go down and press a button. That doesn't work too well on some models of the performance mx.
So if you put a little bit of hot glue on the wheel container, the container can reach more easily the button on the PCB. This is what you will do at this tutorial. You should be able to follow this tutorial easily if you have your Performance MX in front of you.
This is for people who:
* have some technical knowledge
* don't care about loosing warranty
You will need:
* Screwdriver
* Hot glue
Ready? OK let's start!
***This will void your warranty***

Now you just need some hot glue. Put a SMALL point (really just a small point) of hot glue at the position seen at the photo.
After you did this, you will be able to press the small button on the PCB with less force.
