[@acezealot6767]

Finally attempted this project after couple months of watching this vid once in a while. Made mine 67 g without cutting the front base and leaving the mouse wheel stabilizers since it felt wobbly after removing them and also kept most of the screws. Was rather easier than I thought. But not recommending it for non handy people to do this project as it requires alot of caution. Overall my mouse seems much lighter but slightly more front heavy (tho it's light) and worth the effort. Thanks for the tutorial. Next up is SteelSeries rival 3 wireless.

[@huyatti]

Do not remove mouse whell shell thingy!!! I had to reopen and install it. İf u remove it, it'll ruin feelings of mouse clicks. It has spring that bounces presses back.

[@jmcsmfp]

Just did this mod and i can tell you it is amazing. The initial wieght was 80g and it is now 66g. The only modes i didnt do were the batery and i didnt some of the bottom shell because i was scared i would destroy it. Another thing besides the weight reduction i noticed is that the g pro wireless now has evenly distribuited weight and like the superlight X. Before the mod most of the weight was in the back now it is well balanced. Tyvm Sir

[@Beardedbob]

Its good isn't it :-)

[@DivinezTV]

Thanks for this Video, was pretty easy to follow, Got Down to 64Grams without the Battery Swap and the Drilling, i figured this was worth doing instead of spending $150 on a Superlight

[@Beardedbob]

Nice job, glad the video helped

[@Yukinomouse]

Nice video. I basically did the same thing, but didnt cut out the back plastic where u could screw into the outer shell. I also had multiple copies of gpw, then I found out that the front pcb holder that you took it out, it makes it unstable for both scroll wheel and mouse clicks. They click deeper and respond slower, so I left it in there. Overall, nice video, keep it up man. I also recommend putting the battery somewhere else in the back bc theres just way more weight in the front area and that makes it uneven, so I like to put the battery in the back right, so it can be more even over all. Edit: spelling fixes

[@Beardedbob]

Kind to sss you have modded it also. Did you drill the shell if so how much extra weight did you get out of it? I'll have to test the buttons further with that part removed as I've not felt a dramatic change. What good is this part can be put back in as its not a perm change

[@Yukinomouse]

@@Beardedbob I dont have a exact measurement thing, it only measures in whole number, not in decimal, so it was around 66 grams. After drilling holes, it was 65, I only drilled the bottom plate tho. Not the top shell, cuz I dont feel confident enough to drill in pattern. Its not really damaging to the clicks, but they just click deeper and obviously takes longer time to come back up. The scroll wheel gets less clicky also due to removing the holder that was holding the wheel. Overall for me, getting rid of the front pcb holder didnt affect anything, except it ruin the clicks a bit and drilling out the holes didnt affect that much either. Still your mod is way ligther than mine(65) at 60 grams, but I really want the solid feeling of my mouse, so I didnt get rid of any screws or any cut out on the frame, only some holes :)

[@Beardedbob]

I'm trying to think of a way that will allow me to drill in lines, so it doesn't just look a mess, but so far I've come up with zero ideas lol. I think the 65g is a decent reduction and the extra 5g might not be worth the change in the feeling. Its all preference I'll have to compare the distance the buttons travel now to my original GPW.

[@Yukinomouse]

@@Beardedbob I just used a regular drill and sand papered the holes, they look really clean, so im satisfied. You cant even see the bottom, so it's a great mod still. Keep it up

[@Beardedbob]

I'll try some sandpaper if they are rough and a Dremel. Yeah, the base as long as it's smooth and doesn't snag can save some decent weight. I got 4g out of it.

[@recurveninja]

39:21 never snip the wires of a lithium battery like this, snip them one at a time. Snipping them together causes a dead short through the blade of the flush cutters and can potentially cause the battery to vent.

Yeah, you have to heat them so you don't bend them and they peel off easily. I've not tried it so I would check, but Zippo lighter fluid can remove them. Atm, I use a hairdryer and a soft plastic tool. O If the adhesive isn't great, I use double-sided M3 tape to stick them back down which is thin.

[@affinity601]

so much effort

[@Beardedbob]

Yeah this one had a lot compared to the model I say.

[@Ratatwa]

Does anyone know, if one was to use this wired, could we take off the battery and save those 5.5g? Does the mouse work wired without it?

[@Beardedbob]

Its been asked before but at the moment i've not yet tested it. I'm not sure if anyone else has?

[@000Kuj]

As an everyday user of this mouse, I can't help but wonder: is this really necessary for anyone? It's already one of the lightest mice on the market. Is butchering it to save another 20 grams really worth it?

[@Beardedbob]

I thought the same but that 24% weight reduction imo makes a real difference. I like the 60g weight. I'm going to do some tests to see though as its really a personal preference.

[@RabidNinja000]

This is definitely NOT worth it for 99% of people. I did some of the stuff in this vid (took off 10g) and was surprised how much lighter it felt. This would only be worth it for people who like to tinker with stuff and/or people who love to min/max. At least “min/max” is the best term i can think of. Maybe “optimize”? Idk, it was fun tho

[@b_en]

how much battery life do you get with the new battery?

[@Beardedbob]

About a week and before 3 to 4 weeks

[@Big_ray14]

If I use it wired do I still need to put the battery back in

[@RunninJae]

Sensor works, scroll wheel click works, but left right and side buttons no longer work?

[@Beardedbob]

It’s on a different ribbon cable so that might have failed. You can get a replacement or chat to me over on shop.Beardedbob.com as I can repair it

[@zathial6246]

what skates did you use in the end there?

[@Beardedbob]

ATM it’s on Hyperglides but only because they are new.

[@zathial6246]

@@Beardedbob how did u find them I can't find any for the g pro

[@blitzen2138]

Good job!

[@Beardedbob]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@imou9106]

what about modding it like the g305? that would be sick if they had the 3d prints for it

[@Beardedbob]

I've picked up a 3d printer to see what I can do. I like the idea of a custom gpw shell. It depends if I can get it all to work.

[@imou9106]

i’d love to see it and everyone else probably would also!

[@Beardedbob]

I'll work on it. Atm, I'm printing out Molton plastic rather than the shape that was represented on my CAD software.

[@dnalekaw4699]

that's awesome bob

[@Beardedbob]

Thanks dnalekaw glad you liked it 👍

[@andreytarasenko1455]

Hi! What is the encoder height used in logitech g pro wireles?

[@Beardedbob]

not sure I keep meaning to measure it. I'll try to remember next time I've got one apart.

[@PivBlast]

instead of cut the shell could i find a 3d printing file? if so, would someone know where to find one?

[@joeyklem9405]

I took it a step further and just gutted the remaining junk inside leaving just the shell. I know it’s $160 down the drain and I’ve rendered it completely useless but I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste energy dragging the last 52 grams across 3 inches of mouse pad. I haven’t been able to do anything but turn my computer on and off but my hand hasn’t cramped up in weeks! Highly recommend. Just taking a piss, my friend. Great video. Takes patience and I’m sure many people would love this tutorial. Keep up the solid work!

[@Beardedbob]

I was going to ask what extra guts you had removed 😜..... Glad you liked it 👌

[@Noksen]

Great video! Maybe one day I will be brave enough to do that mod for my GPW :D Btw what are your favourite mouse skates for GPW?

[@Beardedbob]

Hehe, the GPW is a tricky one as it has a lot of parts well screws. The g305 might be an easier one to start. Skatez, I'm undecided as there is little difference on the GPW as the stock stakes are good. If you don't like the sharp edges then atm I would pick Corepad, Hotline or Hyperglide. I'm going to do a final video summarising them all and showing the stats so people can make a decision.

[@GGbowz2101]

just removed the right side buttons and the magnets for powerplay its minor but worth it (I glued the flat side button pieces back on so that there is no gab)

[@Beardedbob]

Nice job. I'm thinking about sticking the sides in but tbh I haven't noticed they are missing.

[@tylerplayzz8697]

I didn't want to risk buying a G Pro Wireless and breaking it by trying to mod it so I just bought a superlight so I know that the build quality isn't compromised but still has a ridiculously low weight.

[@Beardedbob]

This was done a few years before the superlight. Logitech probably saw this interest abs made the superlight. You can get the superlight down to 46g kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF6rqo1jdr2sjLc

[@Ezzidi]

Do you sell/mod g pro wireless weight reduction? If i could send you my g pro w would you reduce the 20 grams for a reasonable price? I would pay for that!

[@Beardedbob]

Sure do, you can find them here shop.beardedbob.com/collections/customised-gaming-mouse/products/let-me-pick-the-customisation-on-a-logitech-g-pro-wireless

Thank's heavenly I appreciated the support

[@huyatti]

Do not remove mouse whell shell thingy!!! I had to reopen and install it. İf u remove it, it'll ruin feelings of mouse clicks. It has spring that bounces presses back.

[@Carter-uo5yp]

I cant even disconnect the two shells from each other lol. I have no strength

[@Beardedbob]

Sounds like another screw still hiding sir

[@Carter-uo5yp]

@@Beardedbob Not actually i was just pulling on the casing the wire goes in lol

[@Nvmikaze]

Anyone have problems with the battery mod? Mine doesnt charge and wont turn on even it its plug in.. it was working fine.

[@otozinclus3593]

Can you do the same with the Rival 650? The mouse is really good, but is very heavy, would be nice

[@Beardedbob]

I'll add it to the list.

[@8bitsamurai6]

500mah battery? mine says 240. Did they change it or something.

[@Beardedbob]

No its always been 240mah.

[@nukmanzhen8924]

And now. Gravity has left a chat

[@Beardedbob]

👍

[@bonkco]

thx very much! I made it to 66.6 gr. love it :)

[@sathyasubramanian5622]

Is the balance affected at all?

[@Beardedbob]

I've found that moving the battery more to the rear has balanced it out. Std the GPW is front heavy it seems
