Got logitech superlight and it seems to have some really bad switches and literally causes me brain damage while playing with it. Felt quite sceptical about changing them myself but I'm gonna do it really really soon after seeing this vid. Well explained, thanks! What switches are good to be used?
gm 8.0 are terrible on teh superlight, I'd go huano pink dots, or ttc gold 80ms, japanese omrons are prob the best on superlight. The GM 8.0 causes the mouse buttons to vibrate to much. GM 8.0 is a good switch but only on a suitable mouse shell.
@@georgepierre3594 Japanese Omron works, but you need to modified the plunger (with the Chinese Omron) for it to work properly (due to the difference plunger height)
Have you tried other switches? I have the same mouse and I'm going to order some. I play League of Legends and i click a lot so what would be a good clicky but not too heavy switch?
Sadly I only tried ttc pink and gm 4.0. Check out the mouse click mastersheet by entsgg docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x9iUvx3j2GiWwj_o2_jmsofY0Hoppg26QWolg-_Uaj4/htmlview
uhm... I dont think that is something you can do as an end user... sensors need alignment, are typically BGA mounted and have different pinouts, not like microswitches....
@@Medievalfan94 exactly. Also the PCB firmware must match the sensor. you would need to write smth yourself. In addition most modern mice have good enough sensors anyways
It's TS100 soldering iron. You cna buy much better, cheaper one called PINECIL. It's way better than TS100 and uses same interchangeable heating tips of TS100
hey, i saw switches in video have 3 pins, but what to do if it has 3 pins, cuz i bought myself lightstrike switches to replace for dragclicking, and i simply dont know how to use it cuz other pin placement
I like this video not just because it teaches desolder | solder in easy way, it features a Logitech mouse too (G102? so similar to my current mouse). Yeah seriously, F you Logitech.
ive never done soldering before and kinda health anxious about it, i really want to start modding my own peripherals and maybe im just not sure how to start. would buying p100 respirators help with the health risks? id like to learn how to do this but want to minimize as much risks as possible im kinda paranoid with health stuff lol
As others have already mentioned, the orientation of the switch on the PCB is usually indicated by a little line that has to match the button when viewed from above. So that you don't solder it in backwards. ;)
@@deemarty6618 Sounds like it. On the PCB should be a printed version of the switch. If you orientate your switch this way it should be soldered correctly.
Literally as I'm about to scavange my destroyed mouse for micro switches and swap it into my old mouse that had switches die.. Actually helpful timing. Thanks sens
Replaced my Logotech 402 switch today. I would recommend using a desoldering tool of some kind. It took me an hour without them since the switch had no room to hold it.
I might try this to my g502 hero, after almost 2 years (i think, dont remember exactly) its starting to not hold a click for drag and dropping or ads in game, and sometimes it feels like the click is delayed. What switches do you recommend for preventing this as long as possible? Also where do you get the switches? Im in Europe
I broke a mouse switch that I bought by forcing it through the hole in the PCB using pliers without knowing I was putting pressure on the clicky part of the switch itself. R.I.P. Will order another :(
@@supersop1367 Yes, I got it yesterday, and it's probably one of the best upgrades I've ever done! The GM 4.0's I ordered are probably way better than the stock Huano switches my mouse came with
@@supersop1367 it's a mouse called Dasig by Rakk, it's pretty cheap for mice but in my country, it's actually pretty expensive Thanks and good luck, don't burn yourself like I did 😂
Was one of the switches placed upside-down on purpose? I noticed that the right-side switch was oriented differently from the left switch. I recently replaced the switches on my G102, both of the switches were upright.
Don't know if you ever did that but i open the switches on my mice and bent down the pillar above the contact sheet. In my experience switches are pretty adjustable that way. You can make them more silent and lighter to click. You can even make them extremly light and practically silent but it's uncomfortable because you can't rest your fingers on the mouse then.
Hi, I'm a switch mouse lover. Have you ever opened a middle click switch? I would like to do the exact same thing you did, like, making them easier to click. Is it possible by doing it the way you did?
@@Kiujind No you can't do this method with the middle switch (scrollwheel) because it's a different type of switch. ( i looked at like 4 mice and they all had the same set of switches) I guess it could be possible but i never tried. Look at it yourself, maybe you find a solution. It's not that difficult to take apart a mouse and put it back together.
@@Kiujind just rewatched the video quickly and the mouse in the video actually has the same type of switch for the middle button so it would be possible with this one. All the mice i had had a tiny square switch with a round button as middle one that you couldn't take apart. If you got a switch like in the video you can easily bend the latch with a knife or something and lift the upper part off. And you don't need to desolder them for this. Just be careful to not break anything.
No one seemed to notice, and didn't see you comment below. The right switch is supposed to go the other way around, in case you guys try it yourself, the dot on the switch is supposed to go in front. It would be a pain to do it one way, solder again, turn it around.
at least 10 people commented that :D so plenty people noticed. I also saw that and changed the switch orientation before closing the shell. Just didn't want to record it again.
would you know if broke down my mouse? i was trying to get the switches pin off but it was hard, my soldering iron isn't in great condition so it was hard but i did get them switches off, but i think the switches went out with the copper base pads so now there's no connection i think, any fix?
In order to replace the side button switches, would it be the same process as the buttons replaced in the video, or is replacing the side button switches a different challenge in itself? I was planning on replacing all 4 switches with GM 4.0s on my g305 in the future.
@@calonyoutube That worked thank you! Even though i did it a bit differently. I opened the switch and just exchanged the the metal contact spring because im not confident with my soldering skills. was a bit finicky but it works and feels great now.
@@brixobispo5230 that is actually so great! would you mind posting a picture of your mouse on twitter and adding me? would love to see how it turned out! (can also send a dm if you prefer)
i haven't tested the mouse yet because the switches i ordered haven't arrived yet, but I think i fucked up the board when i tried to desolder the switches. there was a small metal circle piece that came off and i don't know if that's the contact point of the board or just a piece of lead. HELP
Is the switch matter for drag click what I mean is I have a gaming mouse look like bloady a70 and it can not register clicks if i switch to better switchs is It will register plz answer ?
the right click switch was soldered in the wrong orientation. see 1:55 and 8:05.. that is why ur having issues on click when your testing @ 8:54,.. but still this is a good video.

Great guide as always! Thank you!
thank you so much :)
excelent video as always! keep up the good work my guy
thank you so much!
I tried this method, and it ruined the board, I used a wired soldering iron, 30W, dunno why, and I did it carefully, very hard to remove.
probably to hot and/or contact with the board for to long
i swapped 2 switches but now they don't work(they don't have power, I measured the others and I could read 3.3V on the voltmeter) =((
can I swap my entire mouse pcb and put like the razer optical switches into a more premium shell or a shell that I find more comfortable?
