If your looking at this video because your left mouse button double clicks and your not a solder master, I would try to lift a bit the metal plate near the trigger and also put electronic cleaner. The thing that is causing the problem to happen is a buildup of static in the trigger. Try to clean it as much as possible to have less static build up in the future and lifting a bit the metal plate should help with the double click.

[@glab1334]

This could solve the issue of a while, but in the long run the button needs to be replaced. As for another reason the button not to work goos, is that a part of the metal plate in the button acts as a spring and after heavy use some microfracures are formed which weakens the spring. In this case, replacing the button is the only option.

What are you doing exactly at 18:30 ? Heating the plastic ?

[@techalex1992]

its better if the gliders are heated up before applying them. but i dont do it.

[@glab1334]

I'm heating the mouse pads, as they got a little bent while removing them. The heat is helping to return the flat shape back again. Still, the heat should be no more than 80 C, otherwise, they can melt and deform permanently.

[@andreio6063]

My model started to having problems with RMB few days ago. It is not noticeable in windows but during gaming when I hold RMB and LMB at the same time RMB often is not "holding" the click. So for example I am unable to zoom and fire. Thus precision fire is very problematic. I bought it about 6 mo ago. What can be wrong?

[@voidsabre_]

That's crazy, mine just started having the exact same problem today

[@oldi184]

@@voidsabre_ Its really F up. I paid $50 for this thing. Its my most expensive mouse. I have expected top quality and superior durability. Razer claims that their switches have up to 50 million clicks!! I am disappointed. Will never buy Razer again. :(((( At any rate. I am returning back to Logitech. I ordered cheaper Logitech G 102. None Logitech mouse ever failed me after only 6 months.

[@glab1334]

If you rule out any software issues, because a software can cause the exact same issue, the buttons need a replacement. I'm fixing the same issue with this one.

[@oldi184]

@@glab1334 Thank you very much. But I am already using Logitech mice. :-) But the bitter feeling will remain for a long time. Basilisk was my first Razer product. 50 dollars for a mice is a lot so I expected really top notch quality. Sadly I have got disappointment.

[@xshadowsaviourx199]

can you help me, accidentally soldered the little dot near the soldering part to remove the clicker, was trying to replace my right click that makes the clicker work, trying to find a solution to fix it but no one can answer it

[@jaalanodaicyr868]

Are there any upgraded switches I fould put on the left and right mouse buttons? Mine lasted under a year and I would like my new ones to last for much longer. Its the right click that went bad (i think). In video games it just stops clicking randomly. I just uninstalled all of the drivers and such but I have not tested it yet. Is there anything else to try to make sure it isnt software related?

[@glab1334]

I guess the buttons of this mouse model were defective or something in general. They should last much longer than they actually do. A good replacement is OMRON D2FC-F-7N 20M which has a lifespan of 20 million cycles. The original switch lifespan is about 5 million cycles.

[@mk95ism]

Hey have u tried any other switches apart from the omron ones? I need to get mine replaced so I was considering other switches like kailh.

[@glab1334]

I did not use other than omron. Anyway, I'm pretty sure there are better ones, as the omron start to fail so quickly.

[@scottregb]

I have one that is not working at all. This will help with the disassembly but I doubt the problem will be obvious judging from seeing the parts in this video. I could, of course, just be the cord but I have tried moving it around while plugged in without any success. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[@glab1334]

If there is no dirt on the optic, I will go with changing the cord but still, it will be a tricky one to fit in, if you do not have exactly the same cable...

[@VerdantJedi]

Btw. Are the side buttons the same type of omrons as the main left and right clickers? Like a one type fits all situation?

[@glab1334]

No, they are not the same, as their legs are for right angle mounting. I think it's something like OMRON D2F-A but not 100% sure.

[@cmabdullah]

nice one!

[@DrSilver88]

Can you give me the serial number of the micro switch? Thanks

My right click on my Razer Basilisk sometimes clicks twice when I press it only once, the mouse is about 2 years old and i've kept it clean, never opened but rubbed it down every now and again and tried to remove all the gunk with a toothpick and a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Is this something that I can fix without replacing the button ? I don't currently own a soldering iron, and if I need to go get one just to fix my mouse, I would much rather look for a new mouse. Thanks !

[@glab1334]

That is a common issue when the button starts to whear out. You could try to open the button itself and clean the contacts, but this is very delicate operation that require steady hands and really fine tweezers. There are some small clips on the sides which can be pulled gently to open the button cover. Inside the button are basically two parts, a little plastic pin, the one that shows from the top of the button, and a metal spring. Both of them you can lose very easily. You need to clean the contacts on the metal spring and the metal pin below the spring with some alcohol (isopropyl) or some contact cleaner and hope of the best. This whole operation is very risky, the chance of success is low and you can make it worse very easily.

[@VerdantJedi]

I own one for about 7 months and I have problems with clicking and dragging on my left clicker. I suspect that it has turned faulty. Can you advise which particular part of the mouse that I can buy and replace in order to get it working properly again?

[@glab1334]

The click and drag issues usually are signs of worn button in the mouse. It's possible the issue to be software related, so to be sure, you can test the mouse on a different computer to rule this out. The original buttons for this mouse are OMRON D2FC-F-7N, you can get them from eBay. You can use any regular mouse micro-switch, but those are more durable with longer life. However, as you can see from the video, in order to replace the button, it is required to have some soldering skills and a suitable soldering iron.

[@VerdantJedi]

@@glab1334 Sorry for the late reply. KZbin didn't notify me of any updates for this comment for some reason. I did a little research and I'm keen on getting the kailh buttons since my left clicker button has really been worn out, the clicks arent registering smoothly... Appreciate the reply. Love these disassembly videos! Please keep making them if you get the chance to repair different types of mice!

[@glab1334]

@@TheTribes44 any iron will do if the tip size is more or less like a dull pencil. Some kind of temperature regulation is also a good to have, otherwise you could burn out the PCB and to crew the copper traces. No more than 60W. I think you could find such soldering irons in aliexpress for less than $5. Also, you will need flux, otherwise the soldering will be a mess. If you are on a budget, you can use citric acid or aspirin for flux (grinding and mix with water to make some kind of a paste), but the smell of those will make your brain scream like never before :)

[@TheTribes44]

It's called "soldering iron". This exact model is TS-100, you can google for more info.

[@ttv_pottato297]

A soldering iron is a hand tool used to heat solder, usually from an electrical supply at high temperatures above the melting point of the metal alloy. This allows for the solder to flow between the workpieces needing to be joined. And the metal he used is generic 2mm 60/40 Flux 2.0% Solder wire. Hope this answered your question, sorry about the compicated english.
