the left and right mouse buttons feel so insanely chonky now, the actuation force is a little high haha. gonna' have to get used to that but it seems all good again! the replacement skates are also a bit stiff but i'm sure that they will wear down a bit over time.
@rosey for me it isn't quite that drastic haha, the original switches felt really good but they were just shit quality so they broke fast. i didn't want to solder any new ones on so i've just kind of been dealing with it or using an old mouse when i don't need as many buttons. it broke all the way back in like, 2021 lol. someone just recently started making replacement boards with replacement switches already on them so i just picked up one of those, only like $15. totally worth it.
disassembling this was a bitch and a half though i hope i don't have to do it again for a while. God willing, the next time will be when the rubber finally wears down too much and i have to buy a replacement shell, which people do sell also and apparently they're pretty nice to have.
this mouse is just too good for me ergonomically, i love the hell out of it despite its flaws.
kittymaxxing @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club what is it? looks like a logitech g502 maybe?
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club yeah logitech love their shit switches
i'm on my 5th or 6th g502, i don't even remember how many it's been. one of them lasted half a year before the left click died, one lasted about an hour
thankfully my current one's been going strong for 5 years or so
@beardalaxy I've had to replace switches in 90s mice before, fun times
I think I just used some cheap Amazon switches for my PC-98 trackball because they were what shipped faster.
@sendpaws apparently the original switches in this mouse are ass and really prone to breaking, it didn't take them very long at all for me but i've kind of just dealt with it this whole time, using an old mouse for the most part when i didn't need the extra buttons. recently i got a new mouse and it just felt really bad in my hand, so i looked around for ways to fix this one again. turns out someone recently just started making replacement boards with better switches already soldered on and they were only like $15.
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I swapped the buttons in my mouse a few years back and it was like going from a rubber dome keyboard to mechanical, so good
kinda half wish my current mouse would die so I'd have a reason to do it again
