Can we just take a second to bask in this man's glory? He knows many, many things about computers, he is actually good at video games (unlike many tech tubers), he is good at modding things, he is a great photographer and video editor (shots look better than LTT imo, they spend like 100k on cameras and have a team of editors), good at writing scripts, makes regular and consistently good content, and is probably good at a bunch of other stuff too. And through all of that, he works out and is jacked.

Hey optimum I would really suggest you invest 30 bucks for the SS-02 desoldering pump. Makes the job easier due to better quality and flexible tip.

[zlevelx]

absolutely zero chance i'm doing all this but cool and entertaining to watch nonetheless

[beedee]

I know it's a tiny battery, but it's a li-po still. So you still have to take extreme care to not short it, especially not by cutting the positive and negative wires together. That's a short right there, when you click. The protection circuit might have just saved you from a tiny but powerful fireball, that ANY lithium battery can be. They are not fun, and anyone attempting this, or any other lithium battery involved mod, please, do not cut the leads together, and never let them touch together when depinned or prepared for soldering!

[procurador]

It would be cool to see you modding a g305 to the extreme as well.

I did all of this a few months ago to my G Pro Wireless instead of my Superlight because I liked the additional features and wanted to see how light I could get it while keeping the DPS button and RGB logo. 60 grams lol 3 grams lighter then a superlight. It was fun as hell. I also got a bottom plate model from Etsy and 3D printed it except mine was honeycomb. Swapped out the battery for a 100mah battery, snipped and dremeled away some unnecessary plastic from the skeleton, etc. Changed all the switches as well. Kailh GM 2.0 Teals and Kailh SMT Mini Greens for the side switches. And put on some Corepad Skatez. So ridiculous but I love it lmao. I didn't even think of 3D printing a new bottom plate using carbon fiber filament till you said something in this video. I have some laying around I'm totally doing that now lol thank you.

Just to point out for ppl that wanna try, Optimum Tech modded the switches to TTC Gold Dustproof 50M, there is a 80M version but both are considered to be on the 'heavier' side of mouse micro switches like the Kailh GM 4.0

I do like them a lot too cuz they are just so much more snappier but I prefer a 'medium' weight like Kailh GM 8.0 for gaming that is a middle ground between the TTC Gold and stock made in China Omron D2FC switches which is considered to be among the lightest of mouse switches

Of course the upper shell and how it contacts the switch makes a big difference in keyfeel so it's very much from a mouse to mouse basis

The stock scroll encoder if I'm not mistaken is a TTC Silver/White Core 8mm that is a more premium "heavier" feeling scroll encoder. Heavier for scroll encoders means each step/notch is more pronounced and tactile feeling

The Kailh Red Core encoder is technically a downgrade because of the lifespan but some ppl prefer a more 'lighter' buttery feeling scroll

I myself prefer a more heavier scroll encoder with very defined and pronounced steps so I use either the Alps encoder or the TTC Gold/Yellow core

As for the mouse skates I recommend Tiger Arc ICE. They're usually cheaper than Corepads but have the same smoothness and glide performance. You can get the Tiger Arc V1 or V2 if you're on a budget but they aren't as frictionless

You can try Pulsar Superglide glass skates but I heard they are almost too fast and that they do dull/roughen up mousepads faster than PTFE skates. So there'll be a rough spot in the middle of your mousepad after a couple weeks or months depending on your usage, but it is currently the skates with the least friction

Brother you lost me at 3D printing and soldering

[ponnex]

The middle white wire is actually for a thermistor located inside the battery. It is for monitoring battery temperature during charging and usage.

[bendikjohan]

I'd love to see the next version of the Superlight being exactly the same, but with an 8K sensor and maybe 10-15 grams lighter. And hopefully a more tactile scroll wheel.

[timfulton]

I love modding mice. Loosing a few grams can really make a big difference in feel. Also, TJ Exclusives offers a lightweight base for the G Pro X that can drop the weight to 54G without the battery mod or cutting up internals. It also retains the dongle holder.

I modded my G305. 3D printed a honeycomb shell, removed the side buttons (I am left-handed, they were useless) and removed the battery tray to install a button cell battery (A675). It went from the stock 99 g with a AA battery to 59 g. I love it. I wouldn't change it for a G Pro Superlight, because the G Pro is too big for my hand.

This is the part where I suggest you to have some proper soldering tools ; get yourself a soldering iron which can adjust the temperture or else the pcb would be burned. Also it'll be easier to just add more solder(some with a lower melting temp to easy melting those factory solder sticking on switches+encoders.

[ngtmystery]

just finished modding mine and got it down to 48, super hyped about it

[alisioardiona]

Great job, it's quite an involved process to mod such a mouse. I wonder if the 3d printed base will crack since injection molded plastic is very tough in comparison

[wickpote]

I have changed 3 Times my switches.
First Time with your méthod with à solder Pump and it was a désaster.
I Can give you another méthod easier for me which doesnt need extra tools :
Add a litle more tin on the 3 pins, then you Can easy heat UP the tin of 3 pins at the same Time and when all 3 are liquid, just push the Switch out of the pcb 😁

[EPLO]

I was afraid of modifying mine and then I got the courage to do it. Holy! what a difference!

[FabianA-eluj]

Awesome biceps man. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
