How to make your mouse WAY quieter!

My mouse was way too loud, so I took it apart and made it quieter! The left and right buttons each have a small switch that can be accessed once you pop off the top cover. Once the switch is exposed you'll see how it works. A flexible metal strip is pushed by the mouse button and causes a contact at the other end to snap into place and complete the circuit. It's this snapping motion that creates the sound. If you simply shorten the travel of that contact you can make it much quieter. Be sure to take your time and be careful, many computer mice are not designed to be taken apart and can be damaged by doing so. Good luck!

[@Retipster]

Why don't they manufacture all mice to be silent like this? I'm genuinely curious who decided they needed to make a clicking noise in the first place.

[@juanpericchi9359]

one word.....money the less production they have to do on one mouse the less they can charge, attracting more people to buy.

[@mikul9204]

@@juanpericchi9359 Thats not why. It's not like it costs extra money to make the mouse switch have a slightly shorter metal bit, it is purposefully designed this way. A nice click can be satisfying to many people, and it lets you know when you clicked the button fully and not just half way. I definitely think they should sell mouses that are quiet though, as an alternative to the normal ones.

[@aster22380]

because back in the day users needed some feedback to know whether or not they've clicked because the computer's response time on the screen could be much slower.

I found the M220 Logitech silent mouse in store at Walmart for $20 and it is both quiet and the force is much less than my other mice. It also uses unifying receiver and can be used on both right and left hand. It is small (I'm okay with that, but most aren't) and maybe not fancy enough - no Flow or multiple buttons and scroll wheel doesn't move much.

i did this, it works surpisingly well, if the foil springy thing pops out you can put it back in no problem its just the need to put it backwards thats a bit tricky, also the mouse is much much lighter to activate now, so it wouldnt be for everyone, resting your fingers on the mouse alone is not possible if you do it like me cause it will activate it

I tried this and aced the left clicker, but broke the right clicker. (the copper plate fell off) edit: i fixed it by adjusting that small bended part so it springs back to regular position. so it works just need to be careful. thanks! edit 2: i tried hammering down the small metal peg, it broke the copper plate again. edit 3: I got the copper plate back on, made it much quieter. it was a huge pain to get the small knobs into the tiny hole of the black box but i managed. I put the case back on, batteries connected, and it works. thanks!

[@burner887]

For anyone watching this video for drag clicking purposes: So I tried doing this on a mouse to mabye make it more sensitive, since the texture and grip of my new mouse works fine for dragging. In summary, while is does make the click a lot more sensitive to clicks it won't solve the problem that some mice just won't register all the clicks (my problem). So it may or may not work for you
