TP can you link those... I would like to try and replace my switches
edit: NVM found them!!!
I've done it, feels good man. I used some random Cherry mouse switches from an 11900 for mine but yeah, stock switches felt like **** in comparison (had two, modded one), not sure if it's age or if they're supposed to feel like that. I did find some switches on ebay to replace the middle mouse button, pretty sure it was these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261014402370?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) but never got around to swapping them in yet.
Nice one, I'll give that a try next time I've got the soldering iron out D.I've done it, feels good man.

I dones it.. see post 2 for details. now fully OMron.Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/pretty-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862516)
This is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in a long time. I have a WMO in my office that is begging to be used. One of the finest mice ever made in my humble opinion, many good times. I'll have to rejuvinate it, thank you for the inspiration based tp4 ^-^
god damn it tp, u can take a pic of your mouse but not your ergosux or watermelons??
Awesome stuff --rm-rf--
G303 uses Kailh ?
Are you going to replace the side buttons as well?

yeah. it uses omrons, and kailh. thought it was rather weird.
2 omrons for right/left click. and 4 kailh, for the two side button, middle click, and mouse wheel.
i was going to replace them all. but i decided to just wait, until another one dies i guess.

are you at all bothered that the middle click isn't also an omron..
That really bothers me. I really need those 3 buttons to be the same..

for you, i'l solder in another matching switch.
but tbh. i don't use the middle click.
i've also got a blue switch made by zippy.
it feels like 200g force to actuate.
tempted to put that for the back button.
so why this mouse? sentimental value ?
so why this mouse? sentimental value ?it's the mouse that all other mice aspire to be :thumb:

Not really.. it's Historical..
So just to confirm, you just cut and filed off the pole that was not needed yes? I am guessing it does not matter which since this switch just flops between the two ends right?
Also, Did you figure out a good way to "tighten" up the wheel scroll? I was thinking about trying to heat-set the black plastic 'L' frame in toward the center more to give some pressure on the gear. I'm hoping with a small amount of lube on it the plastic detent wont wear down any further.
I dont think 63/37 will melt under 400F. Wikipedia says 60/40 solder melts at 183 deg C (361 deg F)
lol yeah i thought about it but there was some dremel work that would have been required for both the switches and the mouse plastic so i opted to skip the 2 pole ones for this round. They are drastically more muddy than the new ones for sure.
I really want to do this mod on my two Microsoft Intellimouse/mice... Maybe I'll find the time to do it. I'll need to pick up a soldering kit, though.
How did you replace it with Omron switches WMO has two holes for switches. Hence only 2 pin can sit on it.
I dug out my yellowed WMO the other day, this sounds like fun. The switches are indeed pretty mushy at the moment.
Debating whether I want a modern mousepad or a retro early 90s pad when I bring it to the office. Thoughts?
