Corsair M65 RGB|Repair|Disassemble|Middle mouse button #fix I hope you like n share :)

[@georgiosvasilopoulos4650]

Amazing tip, it worked! BTW, just so you know, you DONT have to dissasemble the whole mouse, after the 2 screws and the pry-open of the cover, even just the front part, clean the button with a small brush, rotating the wheel to make sure you get it all, blow the dust and dirt gently and slightly lift the wheel and gently spray the WD40... Close cover, mush that middle button and thats it! Less than 5 min solution... ;)

[@DIYTech21]

Nice tip

[@DanishMuneer]

For anyone whose watching this in 2020.. the new corsair m65 has one whole motherboard so it’s better to just pry open the top piece, put wd-40 on the cube button and press it repeatedly very fast. No need to take apart the wheel and motherboard. Just fixed mine!

[@DIYTech21]

Thanks for sharing

[@josephboyd1653]

The middle click on my M65 that I bought last May started acting up and required more force than usual. I followed these basic steps, dabbed a little alcohol on the button underneath that the click wheel uses, reassembled and gave it several dozen clicks, works perfectly with barely any effort now. Thank you!

[@DIYTech21]

Happy to help

[@toomas5948]

Fixed my double clicking issue only to break middle mouse press lol, whenever I'm motivated to try fix it I'll take it apart again.

[@bencarroll9473]

I've been re-mapping middle mouse button to one of the thumb buttons for years, now it is fixed I'll have to get used to using it again. Many thanks!

[@DIYTech21]

many welcome :)

[@harabek0]

Mine was a little different to take apart probably due to the age, but I was about to buy a new mouse before trying this video. Worked like a charm! Thank you!

[@DIYTech21]

My pleasure

[@JamesChamberlainGamingNVlogs]

Thank you so much. I actually used thsi fix for the middle button on my Corsair Katar. It is pretty much the same but the dis-assembly is a little different. You have to pry the rubber pads off the bottom of the mouse to access the screws under those. I might have to glue them back on.

[@Jimjolnir]

Really glad I had the right tools, and really glad I found this video. Mighta broken something otherwise. xD The problem I had was the wheel not scrolling, had some fine hair and dust around the side of the axle that drives the wheel switch (you know what I mean). Cleaned it out and now I can actually scroll/zoom. Happy days.

[@efren.hurtado]

Thanks so much for the disassembly!!! I used WD-40 Electrical Contact Cleaner just to make sure I didn't make the switches less conductive. I appreciate the help that all the internet provides. I probably would have had to buy a new mouse if you didn't make this!!!

[@diegopabonofficial]

It worked! Thanks for this! Now the middle button is back, and the left one that was acting like if I've made a double click every time I pressed it once works flawlessly again! WD40 FTW! Can't believe such a pricey mouse could have this problems that even an old cheap Genius one still doesn't have. Thanks again for the help

[@DIYTech21]

Welcome happy to help

[@PERCYxyz]

I have this mouse with the same issue and you're right. Shame on Cosair for charging a premium for a poorly designed product.

[@Nimloth14]

I have another corsair mouse, but the same problem. As soon as I put some oil on the button the problem gone. Incredible tip. Thank you very much.

[@DarkenedDaz]

Perfectly explain for disassembly, even if i stoped when i opened the upper part. As soon as i saw the pression button under the mouse wheel, i took a drop of "essence" (petrol?) with the fine screw, and just touch the button. The liquid directly got inside by capilarity, then i pressed several time, waited it to dry. Now it works as it was new ! Thanks again !

I did this to my CORSAIR M65 Pro RGB and I can confirm that it works, so instead of spending more money buying a new mouse, I spent 3$ on a can of WD40 and my mouse is back to normal now :) Thanks for the help man.

[@DIYTech21]

Thanks for coming back and sharing very appreciated

[@M_P_N]

@@DIYTech21 Quick question though, I heard WD40 can corrode certain materials, is they something I need to worry about? What happened to your mouse, is it still alive?

[@DIYTech21]

@@M_P_N It was a friends so not sure if alive or not. However i am using the same thing on my gigabyte GM-M6800 since 2011. Its totally safe. The button has nothing inside that WD-40 can corrode. & yes i am literally using the same mouse for around 8 years now. Need this treatment around 6-7 months or so

[@bluasterisk]

Though I have a slightly newer model of the mouse, this worked for me. I'm kinda baffled that lubricating the mouse wheel components would help it that much haha

[@DIYTech21]

They just dont want the mouse to run forever or how they would sell the new one. Compare these expensive brands with lenovo, dell HP etc. Their mice have 10x more life than these.

[@mant1ss]

Thanks for the instructions. I was able to take top off by sliding pry tool along sides from front to back and then using a little pressure with hands to pull apart (gently, of course). This way I avoided the dings. Unfortunately for me the problem was that the frosted white plastic piece in the cover that clicks the button mechanism broke. That white frosted piece seems to be part of a greater whole going all the way down to the lighting screen. That piece that broke off is like a semi-thick little roof over two little side walls. Short of finding another broken used mouse for parts, I may have to engineer an alternate solution. In the mean time, currently Best Buy has them on sale for $39 so the cost-benefit ratio prompted me to buy a new one and keep the old one for parts, just in case.

[@DIYTech21]

What about cleaning the two broken parts well and using super glue. It works really well on plastics.

[@mant1ss]

DIY Tech Thanks, I thought that at first, but the top broke into more than one smaller pieces with at least one segment missing. No worries, I’ll let you know what I figure out.

[@TwoMuchDew]

The instructions are a little different for an m65 pro rgb but mostly the same. This worked great! although I don't know how advised it is, but you can just spary a little contact cleaner without taking out the board.

[@OZZY123455]

Used this video to repair the wheel click button of my M65 RGB Elite. I couldnt find how to remove the top cover lol... I figured it out by myself after that. (i desoldered the button and put it inside an empty soda bottle with some isopropyl alcohol and gave it a shake for like 2 minutes)

[@rommelcancio]

If i want to replace the left switch buttom, wich one should i look for?

[@reezerb]

Thank you! This worked for me but I didn't remove the clicker from the body anymore. WD40 FTW! also fixed my strafe double type. Thanks for this guide!!!

[@NickySRT]

Just wanted to say thank you this worked on a Corsair m60 also but I did not have a easy to remove wheel like the m65 so i just opened the top and wd/40 the buttons works like new again.

[@DIYTech21]

glad to help. Spread the word ( o.- )

[@PunakiviAddikti]

Left click started to double click. I bought new microswitches from a manufacturer that makes them specifically for gaming mice, desoldered the old switches and put in the new ones. No double clicks yet. If it starts acting up again, it's probably bad firmware instead (even though good quality switches aren't supposed to require debouncing, it's good practice to program it in anyway or let user decide) and just to be safe I'll replace them again and solder in capacitors for denouncing.

[@DIYTech21]

Thats a good long lasting solution

Hi! I have a question, whats inside the dpi button? I preferred remove the pcb instead of disconnect the flex and now I can't use the dpi button, I think something else was there

[@DIYTech21]

In there is a tactile push button. Spray it with some body spray , or might have connected the ribbon cable wrong. Those switches are difficult to destroy

[@jerboajelly]

Is there anyway to buy replacement PCB boards for the M45 version? My PCB seems to have suffered an electrical burn out and not the middle button is basically hindering the left button from working properly.

[@DIYTech21]

I dont think so u can try ebay or amazon though

[@kendrickting813]

I contacted Corsair and they said the M65 uses similar internals to where the button PCB can be swapped out for one another. only improvement they made was adding a side button and the laser, which are located on a separate board. I have a high chance of finding internal replacement parts for the M65. Thanks for the reply!

Back again to clean this mouse. Same problem, scroll wheel sticking because of hair, fluff and stuff. This model is a bad design. Being so open around the wheel just invites junk in. It's a mini vacuum cleaner. To compare, my Dad has a regular cheap mouse that he's had for over 5 years, it has had this problem only once, about 2 months ago, I opened it, cleaned it and in a few minutes it was back together and running like new. Yet this expensive gaming mouse needs to be cleaned about every 6 months and is a pain in the bum to open and fix. What I'm noticing is that over time, even when it's just been cleaned, the scroll action is deteriorating, it sometimes doesn't register that I've scrolled. Thank god I'm not a gamer like my bro who plays fps and uses the wheel to quickly scroll through items... in fact it's no wonder why he gave me this mouse 2 years ago, after only using it for about 8 months :P Go figure. Don't buy this mouse.

[@DIYTech21]

lenovo old mice are really long lasting. I have been using a already used one for 2 years now. And believe me in my office work we click more than shooting in fps :D

[@Jimjolnir]

@@DIYTech21 xD noted! I don't like making waste, and I can't give this mouse away as I at least now how to use it and maintain it... but I can't wait for it to die! xD Then, I'll get a new, middle range mouse :P

[@OZZY123455]

Could this work for the left and right buttons? When I let go of my left button it registers it as a click

[@DIYTech21]

Yes it will work. But keep in mind not matter how expensive the mouse it after year use they start doing what u are facing. Cleaning is a temporary fix. It will last for 4-5 months max. Reason : the copper shims inside the click buttons get oxidized and the clicks are not registered properly due to weak current flow. I will make a video on this , might boring for many but will definitely show why the mouse start skipping and double clicking after extensive use. And will share a better/more professional solution to it as well.

Two options. #1 Replace the whole button if you know how to solder. You can get that button from any cheap mouse. They are all same as far as i know so you wont have a problem replacing, the only thing required is soldering. You can even buy the button the part number is D2fc-f #2 Open that small black box and it might be the small part that is just misaligned and you need to put it back at the right place. This small black box has removable cover once you will look close enough you will know how to.
