After a couple of thousands clicks the Anywhere MX Mouse develops a phantom double click. This is due to a grove that develops on the inside of the button. It can be fixed with a piece of tape.

The front screws are underneath the front gliders. The can be removed with a butterknive or Plastic Opening Tool. The gliders have three layers, be careful not to seperate them.

The back screws are underneath the stickers with the battery images. You can either remove them, like I did, or just poke a hole into them to get to the screws.

After the four screws are removed, the top and the bottom part can be easily taken apart. In the top part the grove that was made by the click-sensor should be cleary visible. This causes the phantom double clicks.

Put a piece of tape over the groove.
Thanks for this information, it resolves the issue. I did not add the piece of tape, but instead filed the plastic so the groove was gone. There is enough play in the button to accommodate the additional motion needed to activate the switch and there is no chance the tape will come off in the future. Should be good for another 100k miles, though your mileage may vary…:)
So after filed down the plastic, does the phantom double click came back or another problem occur, like it became short since you filed down the plastic?
This is awesome..I was able to fix my MX mouse. Thanks

I can concur with sanding / filing down the plastic. I used a dremel with a sanding bit but just any probably 200grit sand paper would work well too. Once the groove is gone the mouse will function well again!
Could you give some tips on how to sand it down evenly with a Dremel? Is there a way to remove the part, so it would be easier to keep the tool flat on it? Is there a head that is small enough to fit in there while sanding evenly?
So doees the logitech anywhere after file down the plastic still working perfectly?
Excellent guide, seems to have fixed the problem completely. I took the sanding route suggested by others - the plastic is very soft, so a few passes with some 180 grit emery paper that I had to had was all it took.
Outstanding guide, appears to have fixed the double-click problems. I tried the tape solution as recommended in the guide, though if it returns I will revisit with the plastic file method suggested by others.
Great! Note to fix that scroll up button. I love this mouse!
U r awesome!!
Used electrical tape as suggested, and my mouse is fixed! However, the button click feels different now. Just did it moments ago so I'll have to see if I like it or if I'll take it apart again and use the file method everyone else is suggesting.

Thank you for this hint! It worked perfectly
Thank you, it worked!
Thank you for this guide! Got my mouse working and saved me some money :)
Worked like a charm… Hope it lasts a few more years, the mouse is great.
Put two layers of tape on mine - this tip worked like a charm! very grateful for the advice - glad I don’t have to buy a brand new $80 mouse now!
Thank you for this!! It worked very well! The mouse is great, it’s a shame it comes with this glitch though…
your solution is great; however i did not need to dismantle the mouse to apply the fix. i simply and delicately pulled the mouse button up and out of its socket. after bracing the button by wedging a pencil between the mouse body and button i applied three small electrical tape pieces to the button groove. finally i pressed the button back into its socket.
Wow, amazingly simple solution for the problem. It really works. I was thinking in buy a new one, but now is not necessary. Thanks a lot!
Worked out just fine. Thanks for a great tear-down and solution!! I wouldn’t have figured it out . . . ever!
Worked perfectly, simple fix that saved me replacing the mouse.
Giving it a shot, thanks for this - double click has been driving me bonkers.
I love this mouse and have had many of them. A few have suffered from this problem and I was getting tired of buying new mice (they are a bit expensive but, I think, worth it). I tried the solution here and it worked perfectly. That little notch is tiny but a small piece of black duct tape did the trick nicely. Thanks for the help!
works great, thanks! saved me from buying another mouse
Bravo, that issue was really annoying.
Okay, didn’t work in the long run. Had to replace the tape every week. Using sandpaper on the place for a few seconds worked much better.
Thank you. It worked fine for my favorite mouse.
I wrecked the adhesive layer on the gliders, used double adessive tape to put them back on.
Did not work for MX Anywhere 2.
Très bien
Les patins glisseurs sont difficilement réutilisables après les avoir décollés…
Sinon résultat probant
Super easy fix, too bad the screws are placed underneath the stickers but it brings so much joy :)
Thank you so much for letting me staying sane :D
I started experiencing the double-click issue after 2+ years of daily use. I intended to try this fix, but instead I powered through and kept using the mouse, adjusting my click by using a bit more force closer to the top of the button (yielding a more direct click, but still imperfect.) Surprisingly, after a few months, the double-click issue resolved itself - and now it’s back to normal, no disassembly required.
Thanks for the fix! Instead of the tape I applied a very small droplet of superglue and let it harden completely. Now the clicks are precise and super firm.
I first tried this fix after someone posted a video on YouTube 6 years ago, it worked but has since become a problem again. Luckily shortly after the first mouse went bad Logitech did send me a replacement but that ended up having the same issues. Thankfully the fix worked for both but as I say now it’s become a problem again. I think the only real fix is to replace the micro switches. These can be obtained via eBay in multi packs for less than a tenner. YouTube has a video to show you how to solder them on. I now debating this solution as the tape method is only a temporary fix, sadly.
do you have the link to the parts? or the part number? thanks

This used to be my favorite mouse, I attempted to fix it but it has never worked for more than a day. I had to fix my corsair scimitar 2 times because of this issue (the left went out a solid 8 months before the right). I had no clue that it was the same issue, I thought it was electronic. I cut up a dental floss case and superglued it to my scimitar, has been working for 4 years. I think that would be a longer-lasting fix. I think I remember where I put my old mx, I am sure this will work. Thank you!
This fix may work for short term but I think real issue is a weakening spring in the micro switch.
You can buy replacement micro switches on eBay or Amazon part number is D2FC-F-7N.
A bit tricky to replace, but certainly doable, I removed the scroll wheel, battery and then the circuit board to get at the 3 pins of the micro switch with soldering iron.
doesn't seem applicable to the MX Anywhere 3. I opened it up and can't find any grooving. still not sure if the issue I'm experiencing is a software issue related to macOS Sonoma or a hardware wear issue.
did you find another solution? I have this problem with the MX Anywhere 3 as well
Thanks for the tip!
For my mouse, the tape was too soft for the disappearance of the double click to be stable.
I replaced the tape with a small piece of thin plastic that I held in place with double-sided tape and it worked perfectly!
as a piece of plastic, I took the end of a mini plastic cable tie and sanded it to the right thickness.
Enjoy !
Wow how on Earth did you figure this out?
In the event the layers of these pads are separated, the outer-most and second-layer pads will likely stick together without too much fuss. Add in a small layer of rolled tape or double-stick tape between the reattached layer and the plastic mouse body to replace the thickness of the missing padded layer during reassembly. This prevents the plastic surrounding ring from damaging the working surface after the repair is complete.
