How to Fix Roccat Kova Double Clicking

소개

In this guide, we will show you how to take apart the mouse carefully and how to readjust a deformed microswitch contact plate in order to get some more life out of the component. We will then demonstrate how to switch the contact plate from the right to the left, as the right one is generally used much less and will therefore likely have a longer lifespan before needing full replacement.

This guide can also be used as a basic disassembly guide in order to access the clicker for a full microswitch replacement. Follow this guide to fix a common double-clicking issue for the Roccat Kova gaming mouse. In order for the mouse to function properly, this fix is fundamental for the longevity of the mouse.

This guide applies only to the Roccat Kova gaming mouse, but should work for many different mice.

Excellent, thank you very much! This helped me open the mouse. Didn't realize there are two more screws under the sticker.

However, I replaced the switches. There are ones that are 50M rated. They should last much longer that the 5M ones the mouse came with.

Looking to do the same to my Kova, may I ask where you acquired the 50M rated switches from?

GamerGuy - 답글

The six screws under the mouse supriesed me. Couldn't do the bend correcly so I soldered just a new switch, works perfectly. Non then less, thanks ifixit for the guide. It's a quite rare mouse and it's good to see that for this type of devices there is a repair guide.
