  • Main mouse switches went bad in my Razer Deathadder Elite mouse and so it's time to replace them before they make me crazy(ier). This method uses soldering. Yes, you can use electronic switch cleaner or take them apart in place and clean them, but that's a short term solution (trust me, I've done it).

    Great Video. One could cheap-out and simply flip the right and left switches (less hours on the right switch).

      I tried that a long time ago, and the fix was really short lived. I must have used my right mouse button a LOT more than I thought.

    nice guide, thanks alot! i was able to just punch one small hole with a needle where the screws are and then fit in a small screwdriver. so at least for me no need to cut anything out. there will be small bulges but they flat out pretty quick. again, thanks! :-)

    Had a lot of issues with Kraken 7.1 Chroma (old ones), with my razer naga 2014, bought a Deathadder Elite, it doubleclicks OR miss a click...I need to be a peripheral surgeon to get my razer gear to work properly? Not anymore... Huge fanboy of razer since 2014 but.. #NotBuyingRazerEverAgain Good video tho

    (Razer) there's your problem.😂
    BTW, I like to cut the switch into 3 parts with hot knife before de-soldering it, that way you can remove it, one pin at a time and thus reducing chances of damaging traces

      @@SurajGrewal I spent a lot of money on a "gamer" mouse thinking that since I don't hammer it like a gamer, it would last forever. That was misplaced trust in the old saying, "price reflects quality". This one lasted 2 years and 364 days. I'm sure that's how long it will last again (and hopefully I'm still around then!!!)

      @@tsbrownie Yes indeed. Electronics "fashion" brands exist now. The price-quality saying has gotten invalid. My gamer cousin too had a lot of problem with razer. so do apple users with apple.

    Is there a method WITHOUT any soldering? I have zero skill with this and soldering looks difficult.

    • @tsbrownie
      @tsbrownie  Před 3 lety +1

      I can't think of any way where one could replace the switches without soldering (or even repair them in place). Soldering is just a step up from hot glue guns. I started soldering at age 6. The 2 dangers of soldering are 1) the hot stuff, 2) lead toxicity, but both are easily managed with safety glasses, etc. and common sense (treat solder as something dirty you don't spread around). I used to practice on old circuit boards, wires, etc. It's pretty cheap to get started. A Weller or other quality soldering iron is pretty cheap. Solder is also cheap. The other option is to ask a friend.

    pisses me off i was looking for my first gaming mouse and seen this mouse had great reviews i bought it for like 70$ and within 3 months the left click went from double clicking to not even working anymore... i bought the mouse new and registered it on the software and when i refreshed my pc i went to set the software back up and put in all the same info and it said i had to send proof of purchase? so now i got this pos over priced mouse that i cant run the software on and the left click is cooked after 2 months... have been using my 15 year old logitek m100 since the thing still works as it should.. sure miss my thumb buttons tho.....btw i sent them in the proof of purchase and was never replied to and mouse still doesnt have access to the software.

      Been there done that TWICE. Four times if you count my son's. Let me put in a shameless plug for myself, and watch my video on switches. They come in different qualities, and for a couple bucks extra you can go from a 2M click button to an 85M click button!

      I am disappointed too the lifespan per dollar was pretty poor. I'm still using the fixed one, but don't expect it to last much longer. The mouse wheel is now starting to skip badly.

      The original set did not hold up as well as I would have liked. I'm not a heavy gamer so I figured this mouse would last forever, but it just exceeded the warranty by a little bit then started doing the multiple click thing.

    why do you say sauder when is is spelt and pronounced solder

      American English /ˈsädər/. Why is sword pronounced sord? Or colonel kernel? Or ...?
