    Hi, I just got my Starlight-12 Phantom and my scroll switch seems to click down very easily. Whenever I scroll up or down really fast, the minimal pressure i use clicks down the scroll wheel probably 50% of the time. Is it the switch that is faulty or is something else? I was wondering if I would need to replace the switch.

    Hello. I'm always impressed with your soldering skills. I would like to ask you a question, is that solder tip T12 1401? I'm having trouble deciding whether to buy 1401 or 1402. I would be happy if you could give me some advice for good soldering. thank you.

    I was looking for encoders and my mouse has a 13mm encoder, one of the only I found was a TTC blue/cyan, is that one good? Is that one better than the TTC Black? Any answer would be appreciated!

    I got a question for ya. My starlight 12 phantom has some defects after working just fine for last half a year. However it freezes frames or just doesn’t read them every .5 seconds. I have tried everything and would love to find out what is defective so that I can replace it. It works fine if I unplug it while I work and then plugging it back in makes it work for 2/3 hours fine and then it starts having issues again. Have you experienced this problem with any of your mice?

    Hey! I was thinking of swapping the switches with ttc gold 30m to make it lighter. Do you think it would be viable or should I purchase some Kaihl 8.0

    • @lehmatulis
      @lehmatulis Před rokem

      I would go for TTC if you just plan to change the switch for this purpose and won't add nothing more (like paracord cables)

  • @__vha

    Does changing out the encoder alleviate some of the "ghost scroll" issues that people are reporting with the Phantoms and Pegasus models?

    • @lehmatulis
      @lehmatulis Před rokem

      Well, I would try to change it, pretty sure this error would go away, you just need to buy some encoder with the same milimeter as the stock one

    Hi @UCRmLEiWxz1_sQ5MZ7zpdv4A,
    Thank you for this video series,
    I lost my mylar pad since I found my left button of starlight 12 was broken as your zeus in the video earlier in the month, and I open the mouse but I was careless and lost the left mylar pad.
    Do you know how to fix this? Is there anything can replace the mylar pad?
    Thank you very much!

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  Před 2 lety

      Hey, glad its helping out. Sorry to hear you lost the pad.
      You can remove the sticky residue which the pad leave behind and it should work, it might feel a little crunchy/gritty.
      The other option is to replace the mylar with some more e.g.
      Black mylar - amzn.to/39zhwoX
      Alloy which I use - B07M7DBCF5
      There are a few options you can use just ensure its thin as you can build it up.

    After swapping GM 8.0 into 2 mice 2 different times each I can say GM 2.0 is still the better pick when you tape the plunger to fine tune, it’s perfect on mice with less stability. Gm8.0 are sticky and way to snappy for me to like it except in a gpx sl which is Perfect mouse
