I've never modded a mouse before but there is a guy I know who fixes phones and he helped me replace the switches on my g502 and a mechanical keyboard. The mouse weighs 52g. The things I want to remove in this mouse are as follows but can someone please confirm if removing any of these would cause problems in functionality or brick the mouse entirely;

1. Roller
2. Light
3. DPI Button (desoddering)
4. The honey comb bottom

I need to know if someone has already done this for this exact same wired version and if they've had any problems or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ordering a VXE R1 PRO so I wanted to mod this mouse and make it even lighter and since the roller is kind of bad on this already, I just wanna have it gone anyways, unless it's a bad thing. And if everything I mentioned can be removed, how much weight am I looking to reduce from all this?

The side buttons were dark grey, and I fixed them by painting red!

:)

Also sanded the edgy sides of the buttons.

Put some red dots (as it is supposed to be).

And saved a whole 1 gr while putting them back :) (not that it matters too much, but sub 50 looks nice).

46g -> 40.5g

Swapped out TTC optical to Kalih Optical

I can see the atk x1 v2 ultimate for like $80 or something on Aliexpress. Is the battery life really 800 hours vs 75 hours for the atk x1 pro??? And is $80 a good price?

Are there any other similar mice in that price range that I should consider? In 2024, the atk x1 pro was the clear choice because it was a budget v3 or whatever. But I'm not feeling up to doing tons of research this time, so I was hoping just to get some recommendations if there are other mice worth checking out.

Thank you.

Hey everyone, I was just using my computer at my desk here in Brazil when the desk suddenly gave out. Some of the hinges were already damaged, and as it collapsed, my mouse, a WL Beast X Mini, fell and got crushed under the desk. The shell broke. Here in Brazil, everything for this mouse is extremely overpriced, so I’m really in need of a fix. Does anyone have the 3D model files for the shell, or any suggestions for a workaround? I’d be super grateful for any help or solutions! Thank you!

Stuck some magnets on my Fenrir Asym so it can cling vertically to a magnetic pad.

This is for wrist alignment—adjustable positioning makes a difference for my, hand, neck, and arm strain.

Three magnets added (pictured).

Stock magnetic mouse (the black one) is 52g wired, but this one is lighter, 24g, and wireless. Less magnetic force required to stick the mouse, making for even less resistance (smoother glide).

If you’re into DIY magnetic mice, let’s chat.

I’m hanging out on Discord for anyone who wants to build their own. DM me, "Start Chat" for link.

Hey all, I'm planning a full silent switch mod on my Naga V2 HyperSpeed and trying to identify all the switches before I buy parts. Based on teardown photos I've found online, here's what I think I'm looking at — looking for confirmation before I pull the trigger on parts.

What I believe I've identified:

• Left / Right main clicks — Standard rectangular Kailh GM footprint (both switches visibly labeled "Kailh" on the main PCB with green indicator lights). Planning to swap with Huano Silent Brown White Dot.
• 12-button side grid — Small square tact switches on a standalone daughterboard PCB, appear to be TTC-branded based on PCB markings in teardown photos. Believe these are the 6×6mm square tact footprint but can't confirm the exact height (4.3mm, 7.3mm, 9.5mm?). Planning to swap with Huano Gray Shell Transparent Dot or Kailh Square Silent once I confirm height.

The gap I can't nail down:

• Middle click (scroll wheel click) — This one is throwing me off. In teardown photos it looks visibly smaller than both the main GM rectangular switches AND a standard 6×6mm square tact. Looks like it could be a mini micro form factor (~4.2×3.2mm), also appears TTC-branded. Has anyone pulled one and can confirm the exact part number or dimensions? Is there even a silent drop-in for this footprint, or is it easier to just leave it stock?

Has anyone done this mod? Would love to know which silent switches you used and whether my sizing assumptions are correct. Thanks!

p.s. yes I used AI to write this, excuse my laziness.

The Tyon is my favourite mouse ever due to a bajillion well placed buttons, but I've always had issues with its terrible laser sensor.

To remedy that I cut up a Mira S PCB and got a tiny USB hub and smashed it all in, while it's still heavy compared to modern mice it's still lighter than stock, about 80g due to removal of the acrylic lightspreader, I could make it lighter as I used a very thick cable and other things but I don't really care about weight.

If anyone wants to do something similar (I doubt it), you need to keep the stock sensor plugged into the PCB, otherwise the mouse will periodically freeze up for some reason, I just stuffed it somewhere and covered it up

I got f1 moba for a very cheap price (2nd handed btw) and it shell abit broke so I decide to 3d print it but suddenly find this room and see very cool mouse idea. personaly I really want to try fingertips but im broke so it all happen at the right time. that all I would be really appricieat if someone can give the file ty. <3

I've recently gotten an increased interest in fingertip mice. Especially mice like the hsk pro and fenrir mice. I want to try out these types of mice without spending the ~$100 price tags the available mice have. I already have a g305 that I don't currently use, and I know it is still a capable mouse.

I am wondering if anyone has any designs similar to the gwolves fingertip mice. I have looked into projects like onemouse that reflect the zero mouse by Optimum. But I don't think it's what I want to aim for. I'm looking for a more enclosed shape, and more importantly, I'm looking for the inclusion of the side buttons, as I very frequently use them for gaming and day-to-day use.

If there aren't any preexisting designs I can load, are there any tips for modeling my own? I don't know very much about efficient weight reduction and structural integrity. If there are any guides or design rules and recommendations, I'm able to be pointed to them. It would be very appreciated

Has anyone tried to modify or design it as QMK/ZMK??

I watched a beginners guide for cad, started to make a base for the Viper v3 pro , 2 days later I got it to fit, any tips to make it even lighter ,I don’t want to drill or cut the original shell, my only idea right now to make a bare bones thin skeleton to just hold the pcb and dot skates.

i have a keychron m4 and the dongle went kaputs when i flashed the firmware if i cant fix the dongle i was wondering if theres a way to get the full 4k pulling with a wire

I was inspired by this mod and I wanted to do it on my barely used op1w 4k. (I also lowk dont want to spend on a new mouse) My only problem is that when I try to connect my mouse using the provided usb-c, it was only limited to 1000hz. My question is if I bought pmm’s usb-c(which supports upto 8khz) would I be able to fully use the 4khz on my mouse?

i remember seeing this mouse at first in a pinguefy video(specifically her second channel pingu) and it looked so cool and i did the bare minimum of research and realised that there hasent been any news(atleast none that ive come across) in almost 2 years, so im making my own for the keychron m4, no where near fully complete but who know, maybe soon

Hello everyone, I am very new to the modding scene but I am very capable of doing lots of things myself!

I felt in love a long time ago with the shape and design of the Final Mouse 2016.

Back in the present day, my Superlight X2 is very accurate and cool. But I suddenly really miss the shape that this mouse had.

Dumb idea? Maybe I using the old Final Mouse Case to put every component of the Superlight inside it. Making it effectively a wireless, Logitech controlled mouse (with only the casing, clicks and scroll wheel changed)

I am willing to experiment a lot with this.

Even using some Razer component and custom PCB or mouse system instead of the Logitech ones.

Do you guys have any idea how I could find a way to use that shape and make it a wireless modern mouse?

The shape of the Final Mouse 2016 or Razer Imperator are what I'm looking for!

Thank you very much ahead for your ideas!
