Brad, it's time again.

Oh, I feel like that could be interpreted in a lot of different ways.

In this case, it's, I've hit, I guess, one to two million clicks on my mouse since the last time this happened.

And it's time to replace the switches in my mouse again.

That feels like a since we started this podcast thing that you replace the switches in your mouse. So maybe you're clicking. Have you considered you're clicking too much? So technically, I think I replaced the switches in my first Logitech pro mouse. And then I got one of the super light models because I wanted the less weight on the mouse. Yes, we went through that whole phase of like carving parts of your mouse housing a way to make it lighter. Yeah. Bays. Get those flick head shots. Baze. Anyway, so I was looking and I was like, I could just buy a new mouse because I have some Amazon credit for some stuff that I returned and they're on sale right now because it's, you know, tis the season. And so the one with the replaced switches are in my drawer. I guess I actually probably still have some spare switches around if I think about it because I think I had to buy five to get the switches shipped. So maybe I should just pop it open and switch the new switches out because I'm getting the double clicks on this on the super light. Yeah. Not that often. It's just often enough that I'm like, oh, yeah, it's that thing again. I mean, it could be, it could be that my fingers have gotten twitchy. It could be that I'm just riding on a hair trigger man everywhere I go. Yeah. Ready for head shots at any moment. Just ready quick flicks, quick flicks and blast and that's what I do. Is this going to involve soldering to put these in? It does involve soldering, yeah.

That sucks. Well, I mean, I guess we're not quite at the point where they're designing mice around user replaceable switches yet. So one of the things, as I was looking at switches that are available, because the thing that's happened in the five or six years since I did this last, I guess five years, is that there are a butload more mouse switches designed specifically for

gaming mice now. So you can get some real hair trigger like you can't rest your fingers on the buttons

when you're not, when you're not, you know, when you don't want to be blasting. I don't think

that's probably right for me because I realized I do like to rest my mouse,

my fingers on the on the mouse, just a little bit just grazing.

Yeah, I got it.

But I might, one of the things I realized is you can actually buy the entire daughter board

that the switches mount on to now.

So you don't because like when I did it last time,

the mouse switches have three pins. They're through hole mounts. So you have to desotter and suck out

the solder from each of those holes. And it's a little bit tricky just because getting one off,

no problem, getting two off relatively straightforward getting three off kind of

a nightmare because like you get one loose and wiggle it and then the other then it chills but it sets back up

and yep anyway so i don't know what i'm going to do that's that's the tlDR um but i i i guess i could go

ahead and use these red kale switches that i have around. Wait. Did you say red kale? Yeah. K-A-I-L-H. Okay. I guess kale. Much like we have cherry keyboard switches. I thought you were going to suggest that we have like vegetable derived mouse switch names. No, it's the same companies that make, uh, make keyboard switches, make, um, the microswitches that go in mice. That makes sense. Um, but there's a, like I said, there's like YouTube channels full of people talking about the different click sounds and, and all that business. And then I guess while I'm out in there, I might as well carve out a few more grams of plastic, you know, why not? What is a good mouse weight to you?

Because I think mine,

I looked up the specs after the last time we talked about light mice. Yeah, you got a chunky boy. Mine's like 105, 110 grams or something like that. Man. Yeah, it's like nothing in your hand. It's like nothing at all. I, you know, most of the things that require headshots I play on a console anyway, so kind of whatever.
