Mx Revolution soft middle click MOD.
« on: Tue, 31 May 2011, 21:02:14 »
Quick and dirty mod here.

As you know MX revolution have a bit too stiff middle click with partly breaks its role of best mouse ever.

So I modded it in the same way I modded the little brother VX.

So let start

#1 remove the three antifriction feet (and put them in a safe place)

#2 Unscrew the four screws.

#3 open the mouse slowly and disconnect the flat cable who connects the upper and lower halves of the housing

#4 unscrew the 1 screw on the photo and pay attention to the small plastic block, then remove the wheel assembly



#5 remove (or shorten) the tiny spring responsible for the middle click stiffness



#6 reassemble the mouse.

#7 optionally use the aftermarket teflon feet instead of the original ones.

That's all I hope it helps.

Wonder if this works with a Wireless Trackman M570. It's really nice save for the really stiff scrollwheel.

I had only mice with the inertial wheel since 2006, and even before I never felt the old style wheel as stiff.

So I can tell that this mod works surely on most of the mice provided with the inerthial wheel, but I can't say a lot about the older ones.

BTW check if thhe spring was present on the latter is matter of 5 minutes of work, so just check yourself, and let me/us know if it's possible.

Hmmm...might give it a go tomorrow after hours at work. Was using the middle click today and I gotta say it's a mighty pain in the bee-hind. Makes it feel like a $5 mouse you buy from your local IT supply joint.
