[Razer] Modified gaming mouse buttons to make them quieter [wireless]

This may come as a surprise, but recently I've started to find the clicking sound I hear when clicking my mouse quite bothersome.
I couldn't find a silent gaming mouse (as far as I could find), so ISo I have no choice but to change it myself" So I decided to try modifying it.
*Strictly speaking, I couldn't find a quiet gaming mouse that suited my needs.

If you want to change the buttons on your mouse or modify your mouse...
I highly recommend that you read this article at least once.

Introducing the mouse we will be modifying this time

Now, let me introduce you to a mouse that requires replacing the button switch.
I think I wrote a review recently.
Razer Basilisk.

Introducing the replacement silent switch

Kailh Mute Micro SwitchThat's what it means.

Currently, if you try to purchase one on Amazon, it costs about 550 yen.
I purchased it from a seller on Yahoo! Auctions.
Here, they cost around 100 to 150 yen each, so they are quite cheap.
I might be able to find it at a parts store like Sengoku Densho, but given the current situation, I decided to stay at home and buy it.
If the modification works well, I'll order four more so I can make my other mice quieter too. The total cost is about 600 yen.

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​[Teardown]

Well, first of all, we can't get started until we disassemble the mouse.


Basically, the bottom of the mouse is screwed down, so you start by finding the screws.
The suspicious part is under the mouse sole.

Before starting work, be sure to remove the batteries and any unused radio receivers from the main unit.

The Torx screwdriver set I bought when I disassembled the PS4 came with a tool that looked like it might be useful for peeling things off, so I decided to use that.
If you don't have one, you can remove the sole with a flathead screwdriver!!

It's attached with double-sided tape so it comes off easily.
Please be really careful not to get hurt!!

Wait... if you look closely, you're also a Torx...
*A Torx screwdriver is required for disassembly.

So I removed the screws, butIt can't stop at just one'So I peeled off everything I could to expose the bottom.
Sure enough, I found several bottles hidden in the sticker on the bottom.

Once you remove all the screws on the bottom, it disassembles perfectly!

First, remove the cables in this area and then remove the top and bottom parts, then move on to the inside.

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​[Interior]

Before starting work, take a moment to carefully examine the inside of the product.
That said, the internal structure of mice is generally similar, so I took a quick look at the parts used.
The left and right click buttons are engraved with Razer for peace of mind and reliability.Omron switches.

There is no manufacturer marking on the side buttons, but they are probably made by Omron (I'm not sure).

Actually replacing mouse buttons [Modification]

Remove the main unit and the circuit board, but don't forget to remove the screw on the side switch mentioned in the above section.
You can access everything inside with a Phillips head screwdriver!

I removed the mouse wheel and other parts, leaving only the circuit board and minimal parts.

First you need to remove the original switch.
Of course it's soldered on, so you'll need to use a soldering iron to remove it!

It is easier to work with a soldering iron if the tip is thin, so it is best to prepare a thin one rather than a thick one.
All that's left is a solder wick!!
Well, how to use it...just Google it!!
* Simply put, all you have to do is suck up the melted solder with a solder sucker..

Taking various circumstances into consideration, I will omit the details, but I was able to successfully remove the switch.
But the base is bent.
It seems like it's completely overheated...I have a bad feeling about this.

All that's left is to install the silent switch that you prepared.
Install the switch so that it fits within the white frame inside the circuit board!
Like this.

Mouse button modification complete! [Damaged]

I won't go into details, just the results.
The mouse died.
The replaced button is not responding!
I had a bad feeling when the base started to bend, but it ended up being the worst possible outcome.
The likely cause was that the solder was not absorbed properly and became too hot, causing the circuit board to burn.
Since this is what happened, I'll just keep it for parts...

What a shame...
