Oh my god. That is the cleanest desoldering job I've ever seen... hats off.

[@joer1502]

That thing is dirty holy cow, how does someone keep using it looking like that

[@aspen8774]

Lazy or inexperience to clean might break or too expensive to buy a new one.

[@SiMeTiMe]

what about the soft "feet" of the mouse, the ones above the screws, they are missing at the end still, you cant put the old ones back right?

[@jmachol]

It also looked like large creases were put into them during removal. I wonder if it's easy to purchase replacements?

[@Mazexm]

This might be a dumb question but what is "gamer gunk" is it just like sweat and dead skin? Good video btw, keep up the good work ❤

[@Escaldi]

Thanks! You nailed it. This isn’t even the worst mouse I’ve worked on either.

[@marius8714]

Yo I’m here cuz if one of your last posts on TikTok

[@Escaldi]

Welcome!

[@julienschreier3036]

For anybody having problems with the mouse doing any of the following: clicking not recognized, clicking and holding not working, pressing side back button creating a double click. I had all these issues I sometimes could fix them with hitting the mouse on the mouse pad. Overall it has been quite annoying and it came within 1.5 years after I got the mouse. I disassembled the mouse today and ordered parts. I think I might not need the parts. I'm pretty sure some of the issues come from the connector of the mouse button and main button being placed almost below the mouse wheel. It's being exposed at 1:02 in the video(kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmOymn-Ad66Jq5Y). In my case there was a lot of dirt on the exposed pins and they are oxidized. I cleaned the whole mouse and my problems disappeared. Since most buttons and the rest of the mouse was quite clean I'm quite certain that the problem comes from that connector. (That means you only have to disassemble to that point and not take everything apart.) I hope this helps. Also thanks for the video. It really helped me to do the cleaning!

[@julienschreier3036]

I have to say that's extremely stupid design from logitech. To put the main connector where most of the dirt goes ...

[@entremontanas7614]

Man your work is so pro, clean and, cant find the word with my bad english hahah, just awesome.

What temperature C° do you set your solderin iron to?

[@Escaldi]

Usually between 320-370.

[@SolSmoke]

so my options are take it to a professional for cleaning, or get fucked.

[@Verition]

Thank you I replaced my mousewheel/switches with the help of your video 🙏

[@johnmadara1252]

the big screws were tightened beyond comprehension and one is stripped

[@diplodocus3]

Had to look up how to remove the j2 connector on another video, but this helped. Desoldering made me almost kms but finally installed Huano Silent Brown as LMB and Kailh GM 2.0 as RMB. Scroll wheel was kinda fixed by the WD-40 and Isopropyl bath I gave the mouse earlier. Thanks logitech for nothing.

[@PallyGames97]

I have a white super light and my scummy hands got looking all grimy how do I clean it w/out damaging

[@wilsonsclips_]

So long story short I can’t just click off the mouse one button because it’s sticking and replace it easily 😅

[@gustavopereiraciardella3517]

pls make one for the sensor. The plastic thing in the sensor is loose and it doesn't track.

[@dylanjongsma8697]

What is that 'goo' you apply before de-soldering the old switches? Looks like such a clean job and I'm about to attempt this for my G Pro

[@Escaldi]

It’s solder flux paste. It helps with conductivity and to get a more even solder flow.

[@AlexDiaz-sf4qj]

Is wipes safe for this? My g pro is dirty and im afraid of cleaning it. Respect post pls

[@Escaldi]

Yes, wipes should be fine.

very CLEAN guide

[@ninety3premium]

hey what switches are you using?

[@ne7ka]

yuh tasty!

[@sparkis70]

Thanks for the video, beware when unscrewing and screwing back the two buttons, the magnets on the sides will attract the littles screws making the operation quite a pain

[@Davenzoid]

what screwdrivers ar you using? I can never find ones that are thin enough to go into the holes on the outside of the mouse.

[@mohammad-zabih]

magic !!

[@ipadize]

can i exchange the thumb switches from the right and left side? mine doubleclick Edit: Yes i can

[@jzn2743]

what switch does this mouse have?

[@BxPanda7]

Why do manufacturers always feel the need to put the screws under the skates ? Gotta ruin them if you want to open the mouse, that is so dumb.

[@llukas1x]

is it only me but the screws i have the smallest screwdrivers and still wont come out

[@אוראלגלי-נ2ל]

My sancure doesnt work but i can still click stuff pls helpp

[@wyntje83]

thanks for this my guy. I've seen four of these videos and you're the only one that actually shows all the steps clearly! I wasn't too worried about the soldering since I also solder keyboards but man the thing that killed me was all the screws and reconnecting those ribbon cables. Now I've breathed new life into my GPW and replaced the dying left switch. Thanks!

[@LeoKusa1]

Could you tell me what replacement switches you used? ty

[@W0lskaap]

When I put the buttons back in(like from 6:10), they push all the way down on the switches and are not springed back up. If I put hem in loosely without them clicking over the hole pins then they can click and work fine, but as soon as I move the back part down over the pins, the whole button is smashed down on the switches. I tried to look, but I can't see if there's something they must hook over while putting them back in.

[@jolt9k141]

did you fix it? I'm having the same problem

[@vincentv.berchem2085]

@@jolt9k141 Did you fix it? I have this problem aswell

[@jolt9k141]

​@@vincentv.berchem2085 No bro in the end I had to buy a new mouse, but the problem is that you have too much iron and the switch isn't going in all the way. Not sure if that makes sense...

[@jolt9k141]

Try desoldering and soldering the switch again but with a little bit of iron and make sure the switch is all the way in the holes.

[@hervelecamgrall29]

Good morning how high do you heat your soldering iron? Please?

[@Escaldi]

Usually 350 F / 176 C

[@hervelecamgrall29]

​@@Escaldi thank you;) since I soldered the new switch (kailh gm2), every 30 minutes I have a disconnection of the mouse (the rgb remains on at this time). where does it come from please?

[@romankonecny9943]

What happened to than small tension spring for wheel axe?

[@thefalsecritic9520]

Hey, is it possible to fingertip the np01? I have 17.5x9.7 hands. Cool video :)

[@Escaldi]

What a random question lol. I think it's definitely viable with the NP-01. But I also feel like pretty much any mouse can be used with a fingertip grip with some exceptions.

[@jasonju8147]

What is that yellow stand thing you are using to hold the boards?

[@WayStedYou]

Damn, I have never cleaned my G pro wireless and it doesn't even look used compared to that one.

[@jordandavison7154]

sir i love cleaning mouse Vid but can i ask something? What is the name of song in background of this vid?

[@koreanxfan]

Thank you for this video! I know it's been quite a few years since you posted this but I wanted to express my thanks. I was cleaning my mouse when the loose spring near the scroll wheel came out and I had no idea where it came from. Your video helped me figure out where and how it was positioned. Thank you again!

[@clawxj409]

Does anyone know where I can find a new g pro motherboard flexcable selling online?

hi Escaldi. would be able to swap gpx mouse1 and mouse2 buttons to g pro x superlight? i have custom logo on my gpw that i would like to move over to my g pro x superlight so just wondering before i remove the skates. thanks.

[@Jonobot]

My scroll wheel won’t “scroll” but the click works, any fixes?

[@Escaldi]

Sounds like you have a faulty scroll wheel encoder. You’ll need to replace it.

[@Theanh23]

oh man so i can't never do fix the scroll wheel on my own xD

[@MarcosHeidemann]

Can you remove the click button without taking the botton of?

[@deffkilla8260]

Bonjour ou peut-on acheter les switch s'il vous plait merci

[@TROY-MCCLURE-1991]

Is there a reasoning why one can’t replace the thumb micro switches? And are they the cause of double click / mushiness?

[@Escaldi]

I’ve yet to try and replace those, but I do have some waiting just in case. I’ve just not had a reason to replace them yet. I have heard of one instance where they have double clicked so it appears to be rare. If there is mushiness it’s most likely from the button assembly itself.

[@entsfps]

they are different than main switches - they arent he full size kind that have tons of great options to replace, they are surface mount smd switches

[@luigime5894]

So far I have seen beardedbob replace the side switches on the g pro wireless super light. I feel that it would be the same on the original g pro but I could be wrong. 6:16 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaOUpaObn612nbM

[@entsfps]

@@luigime5894 the issue is pretravel not the switches

@@Escaldi not the ribbon cable, I looked for soldering clamp and got what I just needed. Thanks!

[@JaayyUwU]

My mouse wheel has been acting up way often lately, can I use compressed air instead of doing these complicated steps or do I have to follow in order to clean off the dusts and debris of what's in the mousewheel.

[@JaayyUwU]

It often scrolls opposite way so I presume it's the dust buildup in there.

same issue not really sure what to do about it. i tried compressed air and it didnt seem to do to much

Hi, i dropped my mouse recently and now my left mouse button is stuck down, i have to manually raise it every time to reset it, but it will just get stuck again as soon as i press down on it. Do you know any easy solutions to fix it? if not ill probably have to open it up myself but im not even sure what i would be looking for that would be the problem. its not wear and tear or drink spilled as it was working perfectly fine before the drop

[@contaestudos9949]

do you know anyone who does this in brazil?

I don't, sorry. :(

Does anyone know what the middle click switches are? Mine are dead, and I need to find a compatible replacement.

Search for Kailh square switches

[@ludo6393]

Nice video! I have the ambidextrous logitech gpro, can I change the switch with the side that I don't use? (swap left-right side buttons)

[@Escaldi]

No, I don’t believe so because of their construction. Unless you mean taking just the switches and not the entire assembly.

[@ludo6393]

​@@Escaldi I had a problem with the left switch, I managed to recover the right switch to graft it on the left one which was broken

do u have a video for the g502 ?

do you know the height of gpw middle click switch and scroll wheel encoder height? i need to replace it all

[@Escaldi]

The encoder is 8mm, the MMB is 6x6x4mm.

[@qiyuxuan9437]

Is there any special steps to put the wheel back in? Last time I changed the switches on my G403, the encoder seems broken after reassembled.

[@hamidorg]

what is best world switch for g pro ?

[@Escaldi]

World switch? If you mean best switch overall, that's all preference. Some people like light switches and others prefer heavy switches. A good middle ground is the Kailh GM 8.0.

[@saquilizan8757]

what switch did you use on this? thank you

[@da_knug]

looks like kailh gm 8.0

Are you stating something? Asking a question? I’m confused.

[@mck9257]

Amazing work

[@pr0th0masNL]

My right mouseclick stutters, so im guessing the switch is starting to fail. But i only have the mouse for 6/7 months. Since the Warrenty is 2 years on it. Would the repairment be free? or is this seen as ''no you broke it so you pay for it'' :(

[@Escaldi]

Sounds like double clicking. As long as you’re under warranty they will replace the mouse for you. You’ll have to provide proof of purchase and most likely a video showing the issue. Or they’ll do it no questions asked.

[@pr0th0masNL]

@@Escaldi after googling alot i realized there's often this issue with double clicking, even if they are replaces with a brand new GPW. I decided to just order kailh gm switches and replace them my self. Asuming they are better quality and do not have this issue as easily as GPW has atm. But thanks for the response.

[@Escaldi]

Yes double clicking with older GPWs is a common issue. But why not get a new replacement mouse for free from Logitech first instead?

[@pr0th0masNL]

@@Escaldi Because i believe after googling and reading a few forums. Logitech still didnt change the switches quality and people still have issues after recieving a brand new one. So i rather just avoid the problems, and try putting on some highly recommended switches my self. Asuming it will last longer.

[@Escaldi]

@@pr0th0masNL I mean, I guess if that makes sense to you go ahead lol. Logitech has changed the switches in newer batches of the mice which are less prone to double clicking. But by all means go ahead and void your warranty and do your own switches.

[@dylan337]

What did you use to clean the parts?

[@codefreak9898]

you can use denatured alcohol to clean printed circuit boards without damage.

[@hexprof]

What adhesive will you use to stick back on the foot pads?

[@predatornotprey]

what kindof switches do you recommend for replacement, if you have a link that would be awesome? My g pro right click switch isn't registering correctly and I figured I might as well just replace them both while I'm at. Thanks for making this video! Very professional.

[@Escaldi]

Any Kailh GM switch is a safe bet. Huano and TTC are also great options.
