skeletonbow: I've had nothing but great quality experiences from Logitech personally, so whenever I need any new input hardware of any kind, the first thing I'll be typing into Google is "Logitech", purely based on personal experiences but also the experiences of friends as well.
My brother has logitech controller and mouse, sometimes i'm using them and those are really great
But once I bought a logitech g403 headset.... it was a really bad decision. Really bad and cheap plastic quality.... I was very careful with it, never dropped or put it down hardly... and after half year it broke at multiple places around the screws....really poor design.

Maybe because I have too big cube head :)
but ehhhhh, buy anything from logitech but not headsets.

Depends on design to know whether they can be glued back too. So far been relatively lucky with headphones, first Philips, bought in late 2004 or early 2005, no issues under the warranty period but then broke on one side in 2008 but could be glued back together well enough, then broke again more nastily in 2010 and glue wasn't quite a viable option anymore due to how they broke, so even though they had no issue whatsoever in terms of functionality otherwise I replaced them with these SteelSeries ones and they're at 6.5 years old now. Broken and glued back quite a few times (but not within the warranty period), and there are some positions on the volume that make them only work on one side, but so far all the breaking was in ways that glue could fix quite well and without making them uncomfortable and there weren't times when just moving the volume a bit up and/or down didn't fix the other issue yet, so holding on to them.

Actually, having decent experiences with Philips. Monitor 9.5 years old, still just fine, speakers probably not much newer (but don't have the purchase date anywhere anymore) and only quite recently I noticed that one tends to stay off at lower volumes, hair clipper some 12 years old, granted only used a few times a year but still just fine when it is used. Pity they don't make gaming mice. But then again, all of these things are old, no idea how their newer stuff is.

All parts. I guess you love Windows 10. =)
This exact problem which I personally had, was fixed with WD40.
So, have you something to contribute except inflatable air? =) Its like blowing capacitor case in the 2000, which only resoldering fixes, not air. =)

DaCostaBR: My last mouse started clicking multiple times for every time I pressed the button. Eventually I bought a new one, but it's been less than two weeks and this one started doing it too. It's not too bad, but the last one got worse with time and I expect so will this one. What could be going wrong?

They're different brands, not the cheapest nothing too expensive either. I tried using the previous one on another computer and the problem persisted, so it is something with the mouse. I was thinking if I wasn't putting them under too much stress, but before this I had one for well over a year without any problems.
Logitech mice give me a hell of a problem like that and worse. My Logitech G303 made my games stutter. The physical mouse, not the program. I switched to a very, very cheap mouse and no problems since. I have some problems with other brands as well.
Though you could try slowing the double click, go to control panel, then mouse, and make it slower than it is already. That's all I can give you. Cheers, hope it helps!

neurasthenya: Seems to me that buying fancy expensive mouses are the way to go nowadays, I'm having too much problems with the cheap brands aswell. Serviceable for a little while and then start falling apart for seemingly no reason. :v
To note I prefer $10 mice, I don't see the point in a more expensive one.

Also.. are you using a wireless or wired mouse? I almost always go wired (USB) when possible. Haven't had a problem yet. Well, one mouse the mouse wheel frayed and could only scroll one way due to friction... And another mouse is wearing out, but that's after like 3 years of use...

rtcvb32:
Both actually, I bought a somewhat cheap (like it's a gamer designed and all that fanciness but is is those really, really cheap ones) wired, about six months ago, and it started to wear out with less than a month of regular use.

I'm with a cheap wireless one now, it is serviceable, but I'm noticing a irregular battery drain and some scroll problems (partially solved now, opening and fiddling with things is a hobby hehe), but still, about a month of regular use and is giving me annoyances.

And I'm not those heavy clickeroo people. Just regular use, maybe 2 ~ 3 hours of gaming and internet a day (a bit more on weekends or when I'm not working).

neurasthenya: Both actually
And I thought with the wireless ones a slightly bad signal could give you weird feedback, depending on if there's anything nearby to mess with the wireless signals.

Actually I remember some of the first wireless mice, rechargeable and infrared. Hmmm 90's tech
Uhm.. I'm still using a Logitech MX518 from 2005.. :P

Aye, a shame they allegedly don't build mice to last anymore. I got this one for free when a friend upgraded, and it has outlived several of my friends's modern mice already. Gotta love the build quality.

Thanks for the info, I have toyed with the idea of buying a wireless headset in recent years as I often use Mumble to communicate both in and out of game online, and when it is non-gaming it'd be nice to be able to walk around the house and make food etc. I've seen some of the Logitech headsets and contemplated researching them as well as other brands but never got to that phase of the purchase cycle yet. Not in a hurry to get one mind you, but I want something physically robust, with good audio quality, range and quite importantly good battery life. I'd prefer something that takes easily obtained off the shelf rechargeable batteries but I imagine all companies use custom proprietary Li-Ion battery packs they can shove a fire hydrant up your rear to obtain extras for $$$$$$ nowadays.
