PC Peripherals Double-Clicking Logitech Mouse, Best Options?

Hello everyone, So I have a G304 & as Logitech mouses are infamous for their double click issues, I am finally facing it myself (unfortunately, my mouse wasn't different & special as I thought). Anyhow, I bought it in Oct 2021, and it start developing the issue a few months ago, so obviously out of warranty, It has gotten quite bad now to the point I can't do work properly.
I've tried the following:
1. blow in between the mouse to remove static electricity build up
2. put a q-tip overnight in between to 'lift' the upper switch (it made it worse, it doesn't detect clicks now lol)
But it didn't do anything, the only viable solution is to change the switch itself which I can't do (get the switch, iron soldering, damage risk etc)

Thinking of either going with the same mouse again or trying out the Razer Orochi V2 even though that's 1000/- over budget and I don't like the ergo of the Deathadder V2, Thoughts? Also, can anybody here 'repair' it?

Seems like you deformed the plastic...
I'd hazard a guess that the mouse click isn't contacting the tiny plunger. The best option without desoldering was to disassemble and push down the micro switch plunger and put in tiny drop of wd40 inside.

For new mouse, ones with optical switches are the way to go. Any mechanical leaf ones would double click. You can also hotswap optical switches, which isn't usually advertised as you'd have to disassemble the mouse.

Ps:I have seen people from imkc (discord) fix these. I can share a contact if you want via pm.

I'm using MM720 although I don't know if it is still available in India.

Wireless is a must for me so those mouses are way over budget for me atm. thanks for the list though, will be helpful in the future
