The problem of the mice and the new tensions

[Portada HL]

Until recently, mice operated at 5V. Over time, that voltage has been reduced to 3.3V which, along with a reduction in current, has allowed the battery life to be extended considerably. The problem is that some manufacturers have kept some components like the pushbuttons that are designed for 5V. This has caused their useful life to be considerably reduced since the appearance of a small layer of oxide on the surface of the contacts causes a resistance high enough for the 3.3V to not be enough to detect the closure. Mice that used to work for many years can now fail within a few months in humid environments.

I can confirm what was said. Logitech G403, after only two months, I had to install software to avoid the double click of the center button when pressing once.

It is a shame that this kind of thing happens.
