I'll buy your mouse!

by adze • 24 Jan 2018, 15:34 • Journals
Hi!

I'm still interested in buying broken/not working/not functioning gaming mice. If you have any I would gladly pay for it. I'm mostly interested in known brands like SteelSeries, Razer, Logitech, Zowie, Mionix, Cougar, but basicly any decent gaming mice will do the job.
I can pay via paypal.
PM me with details and we can discuss details further.

Thanks,

adze

I think you dont realize that, there are other kind of damages than broken cable, some of them cannot be fixed.

Thanks for the reply, but Ive fixed over 100gaming mice so far with all sort of problems. Eversice this is what my dads job was for the past 30 years to fix all kind of electrical stuff, ive learned alor during the years. Sure there might be a few which I cant fix, but still the part can be useful for the next mice. Got hundreds of microswitches , shells , sensors stacked up for it.
I also switch fix mechanical keyboards.
Have a.good evening

that makes me think i was right, unless you show me your way to fix broken MCU/sensor or burned PCB patches.
Lucky for you cable/switch issues are the most common ones.

I'm afraid there's nothing you can teach me about mice, nor soldering, especially after reading your tutorial.

Geez the negativity

thanks, but it's pretty much related with everything i've seen him posting about mice stuff before, including misinformations and expired informations. I can hardly believe in any of his claims now.

Sounds like a nice idea. Shame I dont have my old Razer Copperhead and diamondback anymore, could have sent them to you. Hope your project will work out!

Funny, this looks like a nice example of the sitsuation where someone is willing to try something / start something new. Seems like there will always be some people who will try to talk you down or diss your idea and say it will not work. Mostly just negative people who will never achieve anything their self. Glad to see you just put their whine a side and wont give a fuck about them, while still responding friendly to them :p

Thanks for the comment. I work a lot and I don't have much time for my hobbies, but hopefully I get more free weekends from this month so I can start fixing mice/keyboards again. And just bought a camera and lights for the videos.
The guy above me might be some expert in this or do some mechanician related stuff.
I leared from my dad and on my own, fixed really a lot of mice - there was only a few I couldn't fix so far, but the parts of those still can be used in the future for other mice.
If I get started I'll post about it here on CF.

Cheers!

guys do you really need a tutorial to solder a cable *.*

2) it's not any new idea, i'm pretty sure you could find cable soldering tutorials since the beggining of internet, same for solder microswitches, transplanting PCBs into another mice, or building your own mouse from separated parts; most of it you can find here: http://www.overclock.net/forum/mice/
3) transplanting cable from another mouse is much easier, faster and more attractive way due to no bulky parts from isolators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsVFM-PTdMM
4) i didn't mean to be negative at the beggining, i'd rather warned him about it since he seemed to not know it.
5) you're also passive agressive

I'm still interested in buying broken/not working/not functioning gaming bot. If you have any I would gladly pay for it. I'm mostly interested in known brands like ETBot, WNX64, Roccat Aim Assist, ETH32, WhiteLight, but basicly any decent gaming bot will do the job.
I can pay via paypal.
PM me with details and we can discuss details further.

I think being poor is less shameful than having feelings about a piece of hardware.

I have 2 deathadders (1800DPI) that you're welcome to if you cover postage. One of them has quite some exterior damage, but sensor is fine. The other is in better condition. Both in fine working condition.
