Sometimes that double-click issue is a capacitor gone mad

For double clicking issues:

  1. take the batteries out of the mouse
  2. let it discharge for 2 mins.
  3. keep clicking on the mouse a lot with no power source (USB or battery) for 2-5 mins.
  4. let discharge another min or two
  5. then reconnect to PC or reinsert batteries

see if this helps

1. You'll never find something as good as the g7. Get over it now or you'll be extremely disappointed.

2. Shape wise the Razer Mamba (and DeathAdder which is the wired version of the mamba) is the closest you'll get to g7 when it comes to wireless mouse.

3. Sadly mamba drivers are awful (dunno about DeathAdder).

4. As a past g7 lover i use the mamba and live with it's software shortcoming.

5. I hated the g700 with a passion. It's not even close to the g7. Not in the same league at all. I did not accept to settle for something less and decided to vote with my wallet. But do as you wish it's an okay mouse sold twice as much as it should be and designed by a team of incompetent. They took everything that made the g7 the undisputed best wireless mouse ever and threw it in the garbage can.

6. You can find working g7s on eBay but be ready to pay up to 400$ for them (and some people actually do). But logitech is too dumb to see they should make a g7 version 2 instead of that g700 overpriced mouse.

7. Many people find the g700 to be a good mouse worth 100$. Try it who knows?

5. Almost every recent gaming mouse/keyboard/headset has horrible build quality. We have to go back to 2004!

 

The build quality of the Mamba is awesome. Hardware wise it's an AWESOME and very well designed mouse. Close to be as good as the g7 hardware wise. Sadly it is plagued by awful drivers and firmware.

Maybe well designed, the G700s is well designed as well, but the build quality just like the other gaming mouses doesn't seem nowhere comparable to the mouses of some years ago. Just look at the amazon reviews, 3.5 stars average with many negative reviews made by people complaining about inconsistent build quality. The fact that the top-rated mouses on amazon/newegg are now the cheapest non-gaming notebook models says it all: something has clearly gone wrong with quality assurance in the last few years. After Microsoft left the peripherals market Logitech lowered itself to the (already abysmally low) average quality standards as the other manufacturers since they now had basically the whole market for themselves, and the results are clearly visible.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
