Razer Mamba Wireless micro switch upgrade / replacement to Kailh GM 4.0 (Red) - Double click fix

My 2yrs old Razer Mamba Wireless mouse started having double clicking problems lately and since I really love this mouse as it perfectly fits my big hands. I decide that its the perfect candidate for my first micro switch upgrade. I'll be using the Kailh GM 4.0 (red) micro switch as I've read a lot of reviews about its awesomeness online.

[@Kevin-hu1iz]

Great tutorial man! My left clicker gave out and followed this guide. It's running great so far.

[@TheRoldanx]

I don't know nothing about electronic but your videos make me want to do everything like you ❤️

[@slot1999]

Thanks a lot man your video really helped. Had a bit on trouble taking off the old switches but still managed to do so.

[@mateobean6635]

Hilarious that I found a video for this exact issue with this exact mouse. Figured I'd just google what kind of switches it uses to solder in new ones and here we are. Razer wouldn't warranty it 2 months after the year expired, so it sat in a drawer for a year or two.

[@lawrenceoliver]

Great vid I manage to do it by myself even if I'm a newbie in soldering

[@DolbecAqua]

I've had this exact problem occur to me a couple of times on different mice and only recently found out that you could fix it. I also love this mouse and don't want to change it, just fix it. I've never done these kinds of repairs in my life but I will give it a shot!

[@XrainCai]

how to fix the double click issue?

[@Nikku808]

Thanks for uploading this guide. Recommend using the SS-02 Desoldering pump helps desolder with ease compared to the cheap desolder pumps that have plastic tips.

[@KimKamKim]

This video helps me alot ,thank you

[@budgetballerbrand]

Add one to the ranks having the left mouse button double click issue that found and used this video to fix this mouse. The only Issue I had was getting the front lip of the assembly under the left and right buttons to properly seat and click. I had to use a curved metal spudger to push the top plastic molding down into place into the clips on the bottom molding. Great video and would highly recommend these switches as a replacement so far.

[@rodrigodesiqueiralino]

It worked like a charm! thanks!😀

[@alexanderhoke672]

Thanks so much for the help your video was extremely useful!

[@ne_nravitsa]

You definitely should start to use flux when unsoldering something (especially using copper wick)

[@FIZOdigital]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it on next project. :)

[@flrazvan]

Exactly, and also in order to quickly unsolder a micro-switch just hold the iron on all 3 legs simultaneous, it will pop out in a second. Then clean the pads with a suction pump. Cheers!

[@adrienmaverick8334]

instablaster...

[@Slevin_Kalevra]

@@FIZOdigital Also get some flux brushes for cleaning and trim them for more aggresiveness. Will save you so much time.

[@atunguyd]

@@flrazvan yes - another trick I have seen a lot of electronic technicians do when the tip is too small to cover all three legs is to add a lot of solder until you have a molten blob that is big enough to cover all three pins while you just hold the soldering tip in that blob, then the switch will also just pop out and you can clean up the blob with a solder sucker or wick.

[@megavergatario1]

those tools 😍😍😍

[@sascha4561]

Thank you, works perfect and save the earth and my money.

[@ps3customgamer]

You should get a better iron with a screen for proper temperature control like a t12 iron which has the heating element in the tip that will help you get heat in joints without using excess heat. For solder braid add some rosin flux and a bit of solder to get started

[@theoldschoolgamer6199]

I remember buying a Mamba Tournament Edition, a few years ago but having it start to double clicking only a year after...

[@baryu1]

Awesome tutorial ! i managed to change the switches on my Mamba Wireless all by myself ! the new switches are working perfect but now my battery indicator on synapse is showing 0% battery and the red light on the wheel keeps flashing of battery low. I did something wrong ? the mouse is working perfectly without the wire so i didn`t do something to the battery i guess. Great job, you helped us massively.

[@cocomintmima2498]

Hey, are those Kailhs still working in your mouse? Wanted to check, my Mamba has been having issues with the left click, and I was thinking about replacing the switches.

For everyone asking about the battery. The Mamba family of mice have a battery with the model that reads PL383450. It's an 800mAh 3.8v LiPo battery.

[@VictorFloresvicburn]

3.7v

[@TheModShopCO]

@@VictorFloresvicburn 3.7v is correct but the packaging shows 3.8v. The actual PL383450 is standard 3.7v just as any lipo that size. Not sure if youtube will hide it or not but I've linked an image in the next comment showing the actual battery pulled from the mouse.

hey ,just for the sake of interest , can i use any other local made battery with just the same rating as mentioned except the mAh part where it is slight higher also how do i find the connector or how to connect one from my previous stock one

[@Darkreaper71]

Great video! I followed along and my switches work well! I have a couple warnings for newbies such as myself: MOST IMPORTANT: When doing this, as many others have said in the comment section, you can actually get clicking issues as when you re-assemble it, the plastic mould on the mouse shell would not make contact with the switch itself. I have a theory on this: the plastic threading used in this mouse sucks and when re-assembling it, unless you get a very tight and secure fit on the screw, the mouse will cease to click. Some have overcome this by using the plastic method. I used tape and it's very uncomfortable. Secondly, be careful when removing the middle click connector (black-white-white cables). my black cable was very flimsy and I ended up pulling it out of the plug. luckily I was able to solder it back on and my middle click works fine. For about 5 minutes my red switches worked great! And I highly recommend trying this method if you're willing to go through the risk. Unfortunately, if you make mistakes as I have, you can ruin your mouse. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a rolled up piece of tape superglued to my mouse shell that allows me to click my buttons, but the actuation force is way off, and it sounds like shite. Goodluck everyone EDIT: The plastic trick worked well! I tried the flat part of a bottlecap. It's absolutely perfect. It should be noted that my mouse is no longer perfectly held together so I cant drop it without damaging it now.

[@Komboss]

Consider removing the sticker on the bottom and replacing the mouse feet to white ptfe, with a cloth mousepad it glides much better and feels so good

[@FIZOdigital]

Yes, planning on getting new skates/feet soon. :)

I'm starting to get an issue with my razer mamba wireless where I click and hold onto something but it automatically lets it go (example: trying to drag a google window from one monitor over to the next, but stops halfway or shorter than I wanted to).

Hey, I was just wondering how hot your soldering iron was. I'm having a pretty hard time melting my solder

[@Notaforumguy007]

[@Koi_Akito]

After fixing my scroll mouse and putting everything back my razor mouse on both of the clickings isn't like responding great :/ is there anything I can do for it to have like a more responding clicking?

[@ruanduplessis6375]

How well does the mouse glide after sticking those pads at the bottom back on? I'm worried they won't stick properly and create an uneven surface?

[@thecrabyaqi]

I'm worried about the same thing. I have a razer mamba TE with cable, and I have to switch the cable. However, I also have to remove those pads in order to fix it and I'm worried it won't slide as it used to do.

[@HAZARDDEAD]

Buy some white teflon pads, they are usually avaible for every mouse on ebay/amazon for around 7$ and they are also better then the black stock teflon mix pads. Pure teflon slides much smoother and is more durable.

[@Kevin-hu1iz]

Just finished this. As long as you align the pads correctly and press it in, it will glide smoothly.

[@noenic]

Awesome video, My mamba wireless was having random double clicking issues, I watched your video maybe 10 time while waiting for the switchs to arrive (Kailh GM 8.0). Disassembly was really not easy compared to your video, did you took it apart before ? desoldering/soldering the switch was also not easy mostly because am bad at it. Reassembly was also kinda shit at first because the shell button wouldn't make contact enough with the switchs (make sure to press on the button while screwing the screws back if it does not help add a little plastic plate between the swich and the shell button It's now working and the feel is amazing. thanks for the video

does razer switch better than kailh?

[@faceless2302]

If you're having double click or click and drag issues, you can follow the first steps of the video to disassemble the shell with a Torx T6. After that, simply give the mouse button prongs a bit more surface area to contact the switches with by using one or two tiny rectangles of electrical tape on each of the button prongs. Reassembly of the two shell halves is actually fairly hard because the front of the bottom half of the mouse has a couple inward facing shelves that need to fit into alcoves on the top half, it takes some finessing to get them to be completely seated. You'll also need to play around with the two screws on the bottom of the mouse to make sure the mouse buttons properly click once the halves are complete, but it should fix the issue once they're properly adjusted.

[@FIZOdigital]

Basically GM 8.0 is the latest model that rated to last 80 million clicks. GM 4.0 is older and is only rated to last 60 million clicks. In terms of feel, GM 8.0 is a bit soft than the 4.0, if you are after a more pronounced click go for the 4.0. HTH. :)

[@dracuul78]

I found my Razer Mamba mouse a nightmare. Within a year the battery was completely dead - it hardly charges anymore and won't last for more than a minute. On top of that, the mouse wheel just scrolls in a random direction, regardless how you turn the wheel. Together with the terrible software from Razer, I'm not putting this much effort in any revival attempts... But at least I learned that they use Torx T6 screws, which is smaller than any of my tools can handle... that doesn't help either ;-)

The only thing I could think of that would cause the hard to press problem is that if the 2 front clips that attaches the top and bottom case were not aligned or clipped properly. Please check your mouse reassemble. HTH. :)

[@benjaminpain3449]

@@FIZOdigital I've had the same problem cant seem to get the case to attach to the right side of the mouse which is why I found this video trying to figure out how to get it back on not properly not sure if I'm doing it wrong or what but the most I've got to attach is left click. Btw been trying for an hour in case you think it's a lack of effort and so you know just opened it for cleaning that's all

[@FIZOdigital]

I don't remember having difficulty in putting the mouse back, anyway, just make sure to reverse the order on how you open the casing. Looking at the video, to open the mouse casing, you pry the back end of the mouse and then pull the top cover towards the back a bit to release the two front clips before you and lift upwards the top cover. So to put it back just reverse the order, align the top cover and then push down and forward so that the 2 front clips attached before finally pressing the whole top cover to close it. Again make sure the 2 front clip attaches/hooks up first, you might have to try and angle the top cover towards the front and push forward for them to hook. HTH. :)
