How to Repair Your Middle Mouse Button - Mionix Naos

[@hp4546]

I thought it was just me, I have broken two middle mouse buttons. I love this mouse but obviously has a known fault with the middle mouse button seeings as this video currently has 1,698 views

[@fukuoka-musician]

Yup. I've been through two of them now, both having broken in the same place. My third one just started having problems with the LMB, so I thought I'd watch this video for ideas.

Your fixint capabilities are way better than your recording ones

[@corynesselbush2611]

Just completed this replacement successfully. My replacement switch didn't have a "cross" pattern where the scroll wheel contacts the switch, only a single line, so I'm concerned about how consistent the click action will be as time goes on. After the initial solder I also realized the new switch was sitting a little too high, and I needed to lower it closer to the board for the mouse wheel to sit more level and scroll click to behave as expected. Prior to lowering the click would misfire when rapid scrolling. Thanks for the repair video, now my favorite mouse is like new.

This also works with Mionix Avior SK. Thank you for the very useful tutorial!

Thank you! Was able to fix my scroll wheel and middle mouse button thanks to your video! :D

[@hp4546]

Used your video once again to fix my mouse. Thanks again Mike

[@asaguda]

I've had two broken middle clicks now. The first one Mionix were nice enough to replace even though the mouse was technically out of warranty. The replacement is the one struggling now. Been using contact cleaner to okay effect, but sometimes it gets really inconsistent and only lasts for a few dozen clicks. At this point I'm looking into just replacing it instead..

[@OriginalCatfish42]

Was yours completely broken or did you have to press it real hard? Cause mine works but it required a firm slap to the butt! Thanks anyway

[@mikey631]

Mine was the same way. I had to really mash down on the button to get it to register a click!

[@Matthew-om3rz]

thank u that fixed it

[@Matthew-om3rz]

for the middle mouse wheel click

[@GamesAndMoreO7]

I had exactly the same problem with my Avior 8200. So far this video helped me disassemble the mouse without damaging it and in my case cleaning and pushing the switch a few times with my thumb and some force (not too much of course) did the trick. Good to know i can easily replace that switch in case it stops working again.

[@cezudas]

Thank you! I've just ordered the switches from the provided Ebay link. I'm experiencing the same problem that I have to press the middle button hard to register the click. I am very glad I found your video, the mouse is excellent otherwise.

[@overheardbythenerd2636]

I would very much like to know what you used to reattach the mouse pads? The original glue is all but dried up on mine and the pads themselves got all wonky when I pulled them off. Can I use tape or regular glue? And can I flatten them in some way before I reattach them?

[@mikey631]

I was able to re-use the same pads, and the glue was still okay. the plastic pads did get a little bent out of shape, but you can use a heat gun or maybe a hair dryer to soften the plastic little bit right before you put them back on.

[@JarutheDamaja]

Perhaps it's a bit late but you may buy replacement feet/glides on the mionix webpage and guess from other stores too.

[@SamWard_linux]

I'm on my second mionix and the same switch is wearing out. i need to either get a decent soldering station and switches or switch to another mouse vendor.

[@robinlindgren6429]

my mionix naos 7000 started showing symptoms of middle click not functioning today for the first time after like 3 years of use, I don't have a soldering kit but I think I'll get one to try this fix, gonna try to find a way to get the switches more locally though, I don't feel like paying 15 dollars import costs for a 2.5 dollar item.

[@indexMemories]

I don't know if they advertise 20m actuations on main 2 buttons lever switches or whatever they use, or all of the microswitches as well. But I thought that it was way too early to disassemble it. Since even my last mouse only died because plastic rubbed off and switches weren't actuating every 5th time. Back to current mouse, I just tapped middle button with my finger real hard and it started working again. Maybe the membrane got stuck. Mouse is Avior 7000 btw.

[@justinvandergriff]

took mine apart and just cleaned it ang got it working again. thanks so much! i have the mionix avior 7000 and its the same inside p much.

[@weekal5515]

hi im sorry but i have to ask what is the distance betwin the pins? im planing of getting a nother switch and i dont know it

[@TheDeathskull37]

Same problem here in 2020, my middle mouse button (mousewheel button) is starting to go.

[@JarutheDamaja]

Thanks for the link to the micro square switch!

[@jabedahmed8177]

If you dont use your DPI UP button, just reconfigure that in the software settings to also do scroll click. That will save you a lot of hassle

[@RazorSwitch]

Could you maybe explain how? I haven't been able to find any answers on google -.- help a noob, please

[@jabedahmed8177]

@@RazorSwitch download your Mionix software online for your right version Open it Go to mouse settings Select whatever button you don't use, choose DPI up cus it's next to scroll for me Change its mapping to scroll click Done. No need to open your mouse

[@7Sarutan7]

@@jabedahmed8177 holy shit dude that is fucking brilliant! i was just about to open my mouse and try to clean it since the middle click button wasnt working.

[@fukuoka-musician]

Wish I'd read this before throwing out my last one. The best ideas are often the simplest.

[@imaginexist]

Are you able to replace this switch with one of the micro switches like the left/right click? I understand these tact switches are shit and wear out quick supposedly

[@mikey631]

Those are a different kind of switch, but still replaceable

[@Mainachtsmann96]

Thank you really much for the Video and the link to the switches! I have a Mionix Avior SK and i think it should have the same switches or do you think i should take it apart first and look for the switch?

[@mikey631]

Absolutely take it apart! it's pretty easy, and you'll know for sure what kind of switch you need. The the left/right click switches on the main part of the mouse are different than the scroll wheel switch, so yours might be different depending on which switch needs to be changed.

[@Mainachtsmann96]

Mike Y. Thanks for the answer. I need to change the weel press like you fid and already just ordered 5 switches at 1,60€ on Ebay :D I don't wanna open it to often because of the gliders, i hope they still glide as fine as now after the replacement :)

[@Tarufox]

My middle mouse button is fine, but the scroll wheel axle has broken off in TWO of my Mionix Naos 3200's Anyone got any help/advice for this?

[@SHAD0WD0G]

what you think about changing the mouse wheel entirely? i ordered the switches to fix mmb but the scroll wheel has been pissing me off (becuase of the stupid rubber piece coming off). I have a spare zowie EC1 wheel that im going to try as well as a razer deathadder wheel that i ordered through ebay. also did you get new feet for it when you did this or used the old ones?

[@KreezeTV]

thank you for this. hopefully my new switch lasts longer than the stock one.

[@blueleaftuber]

I wonder if other people have a similar problem to me. Ever since my mouse was new, the middle mouse button click would stick. Now I can't even mouse wheel scroll without it clicking accidentally or sticking down. It is so aggravating that I can't use the wheel without having to click 2 or 3 more times to "unclick" the middle mouse wheel.

[@CHEESEandRICE17]

Thank you so much for this, fixed the problem without a hitch (just make sure to tin your new soldering irons folks)

[@EvanWeiler]

What was the temporary fix that you used? I just ordered the switches but because they're coming from China, so shipping time is less than ideal haha

[@MrClean889]

Test the middle click right after you take the cover off. Mine had the exact same issue but turns out it just had some built up hair wrapped around the axis, which caused some gunk to build around the wheel. Fixed itself the second I took the cover off!

[@TomsRepairs]

where can i get a pad with separation like this

[@goom007]

Thanks, I was able to repair my mouse :)

[@lingdi4]

Hey, I'm wondering how you managed to desolder the switch. My right mouse button switch broke and I've recently bought new switches but I'm not able to desolder the old one from the PCB. Any tips and tricks? I've tried a desoldering pump without success

[@mikey631]

I just used a solder sucker, though it did take a few tries to get all the solder out, and even then, it needed a little help from my pair of pliers to get it out all the way.

[@Luniii737]

You can also use a desoldering braid. It would look like this: onetesla.com//media/wysiwyg/solder_wick_1.png - This makes the solder stick on this braid, removing the solder that way.

[@allan1664]

Not a direct replacement switch, there are some differences with the button, maybe link the + button

[@mikey631]

The switch works. It may not be the exact switch the mouse came with, but why would you want to replace a known faulty switch with another known faulty switch?

[@allan1664]

@@mikey631 everything dies one day, but im more thinking the wheel slipping off the top of the switch where the original has a ( + ) so it cant slip off, yes i know its held in, but it moves around a little. i had a look and i couldnt even find a button with the + on top, so if this is all i can get it will be fine. thanks

[@hyphe1337]

I have problems with scrolling on that

[@lanslater]

How much of a common problem? How long did you have it before it gave such a problem ? please answer or OMG the naos I have in my basket is going to disappear I cant tolerate and wont tolerate problems like that

[@65971]

Its one of the best mouses ive ever used... you will break any razer mouse before you will break this one

[@abhilashsukumari5992]

Good ergonomic mouse. Got it from MASSDROP for $39.xx, works even to this day but the middle mouse switch just gave up. I work on CAD and this is an important key. Time to look for something more durable.

[@Astrothunderkat]

Got two with broken middle switches, dream machines makes a cheap copy, sadly inferior. Internals are kinda garbage.

[@goobydntfear]

same issue i have with my mionix avior 7000

[@derptweaker945]

I put all buttons except left and right to scroll click now, shipment is damn slow and pricy now these days

[@bimalhessa7677]

My mouse's middle button is not working and when went to a PC hardware repairing shop, they said that i should better buy a new mouse because if an engineer repaires the mouse he will already charge 200 to 300 rupees i.e. the cost of a new mouse. I didn't want to waste my money for a little fix for the middle button, so i watched this video. But this is very hard, Still i will try

[@Giekeme]

Thank you! Fixed my issue

[@SynysterCondom]

Try adding a single drop of 3-in-1 oil onto the middle mouse switch before attempting to do this. It fixed my issues completely on my naos 7000 when i thought the switch was dead.

[@Astrothunderkat]

you drop it on top?

[@SynysterCondom]

@@Astrothunderkat yes when you get to 1:23 , apply a single drop directly on top of the little white part of the switch and gently click the mouse button repeatedly to make sure it gets inside. If it doesn't work, you can repeat but it's safe to say it's dead. But yeah haven't had any problems with this method in over a year now. The only con (or pro) of doing this fix is the switch is a little quieter but it works perfectly

[@SangonomiyaMimi]

THIS NOT WHAT IM SEARCHING FOR I USE MOUSE ON OTG ADAPTER AND USB CABLE AND PLUG IT ON PHONE AND MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I FIX THE MIDDLE CLICK AND RIGHT CLICK IT JUST GOES OUT APP MIDDLE CLICK ACT LIKE HOME BUTTON AND RIGHT CLICK ACT LIKE BACK BUTTON PLS TELL ME IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS
