Silent Mouse - The Second Encounter (diskuse)

It works well, my switches look exactly like those in the photo. However, they won't go into each other after I reversed it so I cut off one end of the top part

Yes, not all switches are exactly identical. I met a switch like this one once and I think there was some structure in the lid that just took space and I was able to remove it with a knife.

Sorry to necropost, but... I don't have golden hands, and am pretty sure I'd make a mess of it if I tried to silence a mouse like this myself. I don't suppose you'd be willing to do it for me? I really need a silent mouse, and commercially the only option is the newish Thanko model which I'd have to order from the States. So it'd be worth my while to pay you to hack one for me. I'm based in Prague, btw. If you'd be interested, can you mail me at pDOTfarrington-douglasATseznamDOTcz?

I'm sorry if commenting on old threads is considered "bad", I just wanted to say that I tried this with an optical mouse and it totally worked! :) Thanks for the share! Like one of the commenters, the two parts didn't fit perfectly for me, so I had to cut a little bit of the plastic around the small white moving "clicker". Moreover when reversing was complete, the "big" mouse button didn't hit the "small" white part inside, so I had to add an additional metal "prolongener" on top of the whole mechanism to actually link the new position of the small white clicker with the old one that was getting hit when I click the mouse. I did this by cutting a small part out of a pen spring and straightening it, and then sticking it with tape on the outside of the whole click mechanism. And now it's ninja-silent! That was a very nice thing to do, but it did need patience and some tools(pincers and a screw driver, as well as a needle to disassemble the click mechanism - I didn't want to take it out of the pins, because I was afraid not to damage them and render the whole mouse unusable, a small "swiss" knife is also very useful).

Hey, sorry for bringing it up in 2018 :D but method totally works. I can share experience with my mouse - HP x3500 (G57). I did it another way, I pinched up the black plastic covers of buttons carefully with scalpel without soldering it out. They came off with some resistance. Then I turned them 180 degrees like in tutorial. One of them was broken so I glued it together :D Then I checked if buttons works with original plastic cover of mouse and only left one did. with right one I had to make some sort of extension from guitar pick (~1mm) so it can reach the white small button. Eventually I got it working. Thanks for great tut! Handful after all these years after posting! Cheers!
