How to upgrade the switches in your gaming mouse 

I hope you grow into a humongous channel, you content is so good!

Glad you made a video on these, I’ve been getting more requests to use them in my mouse mods lately, before everyone typically wanted either D2F-01F omrons or normal blue shell pink dots. Lamzu’s implementation in the mini were pretty impressive too

actually perfect tutorial, looks too much effort for myself but will definitely help others out a bunch, well done.

Great video! The tip you gave regarding adding more solder to help loosen the switches is really good! Just started soldering here and I messed up a mouse already lol but I managed to do a successful swap on a Corsair M65 RGB Elite (known for left click issues because of cheap Omrons) and replaced with Kailh 8.0 GM switches. Keep up the great videos and looking forward to future uploads!

Nice vid, excited to try these switches in my atlantis when it gets here! fyi not sure why its so prevalent in this community but the “l” in solder is silent. Cringing internally every time someone says soLder.

Excellent tutorial I was searching for. You took hard work for me. Worth watching. Keep it up.

I highly suggest you buy a K tip or also known as a knife tip. Its wide enough to to heat two joints at the same time and by moving it back and forth you are able to get all three solder joints to melt at the same time and effortlessly pull the switch out. This method was used by turbobitbox

Great guide for people wanting to get into mouse-modding and changing switches! I've done it a few times myself with the help from Ents videos. Anyways. For temperature regulated irons, I'd recommend setting it to 350-375C. Also if you are having trouble making the solder flow correctly, use flux. I personally love the japanese omrons, but I also just got these transparent BSPD in. So how would you rate the click feel in the HTX with these switches? 🙂 - Keep it up! Really enjoy your videos.

Fantastic video! I recently ordered some switches and batteries off AliExpress which took an age to be delivered 😅 I have some of the equipment. Was thinking of attempting this as a test run and making a video down the line but this was excellent, thanks 🔥

I gotta say this was a fantastic guide video. I have watched many. Did my first PC build about a year and a half ago during Covid and then did my first keyboard build now I’ve gotten into moding gaming mice and I’ve watched a lot of videos. This one was the clearest, best explained, and did a great job of really showing what was going on. Keep up the good work you definitely earned my sub!!!

Great tutorial! I like type of video. I’ve never taken apart a mouse, but I love modding keyboards… tempts me to try it!

I put in some D2F-F-3-7 in my replacement HSK Pro 4K and kept Zippys in the original pre-order one. I must say the lighter switches make the mouse "feel" even lighter simply because you need less force to actuate the clicks.

Thanks for posting this, I work on my pc during the day and play games as a hobby. As a result I use my PC a lot and I'm hoping these switches are bit lighter than the stock gpro superlight clicks because my index finger is getting pretty sore. Will order some of these and see how they do after fitting.

zippys feel better in this mouse!!! huanos are my favorite too but the zippys feel better in this mouse just because of the way the main switches are

Found out recently you can make mouse switches quiet by simply covering the springs inside with Krytox 205 lube.

I usually change stock switches instead Kailh Silent,i love them,but im curious about if changing the switch makes diferent performance on Response Time or just depends on mouse PCB Thanks great video,like always !

I used ttc gold 60m in my small hades as well as an alps encoder

Thanks for the great tutorial. I've been ruining my pcb by trying to mod the encoder and switches.. wrong tools can make a mess.

Good work !!

Why didn't you just use the solder sucker on the joints to begin with instead of heating the pads one by one and slowly pulling out the switch?

So between kailh 8.0 vs Huano blue shell pink dots, the pink dots are the better clicks when it comes to spamming since it's lighter. Am I correct?

i have just sent my viper mini recently to an RMA centre for replacement because of its reverse scrolling issue, do you think it would be worth upgrading the switches if im just getting a brand new viper mini?

But which switch is best for FPS first person shooter games like Valorant? I mean a very quick response button switch.

Hi just wondering isit possible to change my viper mini switches to this huano blue pink dot?

Great vid! Just asking what's the best switch for upgrading with? Im using the logitech g102 and its been double clicking for months now. I'm looking for something kinda mid price ranges and for gaming. Also new to this world of soldering, any tips would help!

Hi, thank you for all your work ! Do you think it's possible to change a Huano "black shell / white switch" to a "black shell / blue switch" by changing only the bonnet and the spring ? Because I have the feeling it's only a plastic cover with a copper spring inside. Maybe I'm wrong ^^...

Are huanos lighter than japanese omrons?

hi what switches are you using in your hts+ 4k? would yo recommend the bspd for this mouse? thanks!

Why not use optical switches? Are they tricky to solder or not compatible at all?

Hi, my g305 currently has gm8.0 on the left and stock omron on the right, gm8.0 causes pain to my finger and omoron is too light so i'd click it if i rest my hand on the mouse. So im considering to change to huano transparent blue pink dot or ttc gold dust proof 60m/80m. Also my side buttons start to double click, Which one would you recommend? thanks

So what:s the best switch to use?

How do you find out which switch to buy? I have a corsair scimitar and it is double clicking.

1:20 better warning than it might burn a hole in your carpet it, DON'T SOLDER IN YOUR HOUSE! or better yet, don't solder indoors, that stuffs super toxic, especially flux, not to mention the metal fumes

Any better swiches out there, its been 10 months since the video ?

British pronunciation of solder is an odd choice and not tinning the iron tip meant you had to hold the iron on part longer than would have been necessary if you had. Basically, your iron has oxidized and it is making it more difficult to transfer heat efficiently. The good news is, it isn't dead yet and the joints made in this video are just fine. NGL I had to search a bit for a video to show what I mean, but here is a British guy pronouncing solder with an L AND giving a tutorial on tinning an iron! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTcxn773G-4.html

Where is flux mr. teacher? 😁

What are the stock switches?

im on it for 5 hours and didnt get it :c

почему до, ты щелкал сильно, а после нежно?

Soldering may look easy but it is not. I know because I tried. Practice on something cheap until you get the hang of it.

The “L” is silent in the word “solder “

I cant get shell on place anymore 🥲
