I replaced the old OMRON original switches with TTC Gold 80M (80 million clicks). The clicks are more snappy and precise and no more double clicking issue.
I'll be trying this on two different mice so thank you for the video! I'll be doing this to a G502 Hero SE, and a classic Microsoft Trackball Explorer to breathe new life into it. The MSTE is over 10 yrs old, and still works, but it's seen better days, lol. The LMB is loose, and wobbly, and feels broken. The grip pads are completely gone, and the paint is rubbed down to the bare plastic, yet it's still a great trackball, and worth the restoration efforts. The G502 Hero SE's LMB started double-clicking, and eventually outright failed after 6 months of everyday use. That one's gonna be a total revenge-repair because I refuse to let it die after such a short period of time, lol.
Your video was so helpful! Thank you! I actually replaced the entire board so I didn't have to solder a new switch. Bought a new board with the new switches already soldered in. Although, I was surprised at the amount of screws that Logitech put on this mouse! 😂
Never thought of putting a bigger battery in? Sure, it takes some cutting here and there in the plastic, but well worth it. The original battery is a measly 240mAh... a 900mAh fits too with some modding... MUCH more battery life
Nice, my RGB on the lightspeed stopped working so I will replace the LED and give it some new skid pads, Does anyone know if the 502 Hero and Lightspeed share the same top shell?
I might need to do this i think my switch is fked. It double clicks like no tommorow which evena cheap hp mouse doesnt have. I gotta change it. Think im well past the rma period
not sure what you mean g6. but unless its an optical switch, like razers new stuff, then it can be easily swapped with TTC/Kailh/Huano for tons better feel and way better reliability. I let my sons play minecraft on my g pro x now. I was so worried about the double click issue with the omrons they wasnt allowed to touch it. I put some Kailh reds in it and its seriously a game changer.
Im not sure his exact tools but I do the same job with a cheap 20$ soldering iron from amazon. I would recommend you splurge for the better solder and flux though.
@@chrisvfit does it have same switches as basilisk v3? g502 is too big for my hand, I regret after getting it, and basilisk looks like as big as g502..
@@Adem.940 Deathadder V3 pro has the new improved optical switches, they are not the same as Basilisk's. And yea the shape and feel of the Basilisk is the same as the G502.
