LPT: if you're using a " 3rd hand " for soldering jobs like shown in the video, apply heat-shrink tube around the upper and lower jaw of the crocodile clips. This prevents the tiny sharp teeth from scratching your PCB or bating trough thin cable you might be soldering. It is a little less grippy, so kepe that in mind.

I've tried a bunch of these switches and almost anything is a noticeable upgrade over stock omeron switches in terms of feel. It's quite subtle, but still noticeable. However, I always revert back to kailh silent switches. It's a quiet, thunky kind of click that I really like. It's not "snappy" like the classic switches and I can definitely understand why not everyone would like them. Every mouse I use now has them. Ranging from expensive mice to $5 wireless mice.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is that you can add a bit of tape under the mouse buttons also which can affect travel distance and actuation force. Also, while most switches fit, some are a bit taller/wider than usual. An example is the Japanese omrons which are just a hair taller than usual, requiring you to sand/file them down a bit. Another thing to note is that generally (but not always), a lighter click will have a shorter lifespan and a stiffer click will have a higher lifespan. As mentioned, there can be a lot of click variance even between the same switches so this is not always true, but you can use it as a starting point when looking for switches. I've managed to mod the switches on my model D and after a bit of trial and error with sanding the switch and adding tape (under the buttons), I have managed to completely remove the horrible play/pretravel that the model D has. This means the click now occurs almost instantaneously, while still having enough stiffness such that I won't accidentally double-click if I don't want it to.

I actually did this a few months ago with my Cooler Master MM710, I swapped the Omron's for some Kailh GM 4.0's and it legit feels like a way better mouse, no longer has the feeling of pre or post travel when clicking, feels a lot more responsive as well. Getting the old solder off of those old switches was a bit of a hassle at the start but I found if you apply some lead solder to the switch you're trying to remove and then use some solder braid it comes away a lot cleaner, would also 100% recommend getting Core pad skates or some Tiger skates.

The GM 8.0's are great choice for gaming, I put those in my SuperlightX. Tip be very careful unpluging the ribbon that connects to your Mouse 1&2 + Scroll Wheel function PCB. Remove the ribbon while the pcb is unseated for a better grip, it can be tough taking it out and inserting it back in. The ribbon is fragile and can crack like what happened to me making the mouse useless without those functions =(. Oh and that really small springy tension thing that holds down the scroll wheel, very easy to loose didn't even know it was even there. I suggest remembering how it goes on before removing the wheel. But and in all great upgrade for your SuperlightX, so much better than the stock Omron's. Cheers lads

It's worth noting that the double click issue (that the G Pro Wireless is/was known for prior to the Super Light) is a voltage issue that manages those switches within the software itself, and not the switches themselves. Though there certainly can be a benefit from swapping switches too (if desirable, similar to customizing your keyboard switch based on how you prefer it feels).

I've done a lot of research before I bought mine and my conclusion is that it's mostly a mechanical failure in the switches themselves. Many people have switch swapped their GPW with known reliable switches to permanently fix the double clicking issue. I'm thinking of being prepared and getting some switches or a switch-modded PCB so I don't have to solder anything, but the current factory switches are holding up great so far. Plus they sound beefy, a metallic undertone and crisp click. Maybe Logitech started using different switches with the newest batch of g pro wireless?

Been Using the GM8.0 on my G304/G305 and watching your video made me want to change it into TTC Gold. As always, thank you very much for the eye-pleasing videos, I wish I could learn more about how you arrange your lighting in a video-recording

Thanks. Was able to solve a double clicking SteelSeries Rival 100 mouse by soldering the Kailh GM 2.0s which are just right. A tip for anyone with similar problems. My old switches wouldn't fall out on their own because they were secured too tight. I needed to apply pressure and pry them out at the same time as de-soldering the points.

Got inspiered to do this mod, as I had bad double click issues on my left mouse button, and one of the side buttons on my G Pro (wired). I have GM 8.0's on my left, right and the side buttons now, DEFFENETLY worth it. And the "solder the middle pin first" tip is really good. Another thing i learned is, dont get lead free solder, I was trying to do this with lead free, and it was a horrible first time solder experience, got some 60/40 lead solder and it was waaay easier.

Hey @Optimum Tech, thanks for this video. I got myself the GM 8.0 Blacks for my G502 with the annoying double click issue, and it works incredibly well. Got the whole thing back to working in just $20, didn't even solder myself, paid somebody a dollar for it, and could have easily gotten it done in under $10 if not for skates, which I had to import. But in anycase, this is a lot cheaper than having to buy another mouse, and a lot better than having to spend $20 and settle with a worse mouse. I went for the 8.0's because I didn't want the tight reds, would've liked the 2.0's, but didn't see them being sold. But all in all, I love my mouse now :)

FYI the TTC Gold switches feel different depending on their click rating. 80M rated TTC Golds are heavier and way easier to spam click due to having a much stronger debounce.

I do a decent amount of electronics work and I would recommend Solder wick to remove solder it is like using a tissue it adorbs it and comes right off. Also a tiny tiny bit of flux could go a long way if you are also bad at soldering.
