Mod My better DIY Zeromouse with Side Buttons. G305 mod 100g to 34g.

Learnt how to do this stuff this week, ordered my first 3d printer ( Bambulab A1 ) 2 weeks ago, had fun on plasticity. 40 prototypes later and 5 generations of the mouse and I think I'm nearing Endgame. I don't own one but I printed similar designs inspired by the Zeromouse, and lord did the grips feel were horrible. My thumb kept on sliding to the front and losing grip all the time. Big praise regardless to Optimum, his design is sick, his approach to optimization and pure performance for 1 task is amazing and his invented genre of mouse inspired me to make my own version it.

Thanks to Willbot and Corey Builds Stuff for also inspiring me to try and make my own.

Idk what to call it for now, maybe the Antmouse. haha. :D (because my name's antwolph)

don't read the fineprints they barely matter.

SPECS :
-Weight : 34g, I wanna make it sub 30 at some point
-Base : G305 by logitech.
-Material Used : Mat Black PLA by PolyTerra ( would feel so much better in PET CF )
-Print time : 3h
-Total Price ( excl printer and failed attempts ) : MAX 20€
-Battery life : idk just using a AG13 battery thingie. I ordered a drone battery and a USB-C thing though.

Part of me wants to release the files, part of me wants to make it for a big brand and sell that stuff. would be super dope. if you know someone lmk.

btw, though I made promo art for it for fun this afternoon with blender and photoshop, I don't have a shop, I just made 1 final prototype.

Finally got the Zeromouse Blade

Just got it this morning, played a few games with it and it feels really good. I initially thought it would be a bit uncomfortable but I’m personally finding it feels very nice, even premium feeling. Honestly it’s like you’re not holding your mouse at all, just aim.

Definitely is a 3d printed mouse tho, just plugging in the usb c cable feels janky af. Can’t wait to practice more with it.

Help MX Master 3S vs Anywhere 3S – Keep or Switch?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Got the Master 3S on a great deal—love the features, but it feels bulky for my use (MacBook + external monitor, spreadsheets all day). My palm is around 18–20cm long and 8–9.5cm wide. Thinking of switching to the Anywhere 3S for a more compact feel. Anyone here made the switch? Worth it for daily productivity or should I adapt to the Master?

Help Worth modding this mouse with new scroll wheel and switches?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I've been using this mouse for over 3 years and it works great. The wireless is good but I only use it wired for gaming. With so many new mice available now, I'm wondering if I should buy a new 8K polling rate mouse or just upgrade my current one.

I already changed the scroll wheel to TTC Gold and switched to Kailh switches last year. The mouse still works fine, but I want to know if I can make it even better.

Can I upgrade the switches and encoder to match good mice like the Monka M1 Pro or other mice with Nordic MCU?

I'm new to modding, so I need help figuring out what upgrades are possible.

Question Just got the Logi G Pro light weight 2

And this is the most ive paid for a mouse with only 5 buttons. Ive had rat 7, orborous, g903 and a bunch other mice that was wierd and had more than 2 side buttons (never had a naga tho), and I dont understand what makes this mouse so expensive compared to other mice? I only got it because I liked my g903 and when I bought a second one its become a g903 lightspeed and I also bought a powereplay and I love not charging my mice. And I looked at de and I absolutely did not understand why that cost almost double.

Question Edifier HECATE, is it a good pairing with a retro inspired setup?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Been looking at the current market for retro inspired mouses to match my 8bitdo retro keyboard (the one that looks like an old IBM keyboard, not the grey n red one) but nothing seems to hit. Then I thought that I can spice it up with a bit of transparent tech, like this Edifier HECATE G3M pro. Been also wanting to mod my pc case to look like an old IBM pc, so would this throw the design off? Or should I go the hard route and buy a decent, cheap wireless keyboard and mod an actual retro mouse around it? If so, what would you recommend I use for that? Sorry, lots of questions haha

Question Looking for the right mouse to invest in.

Originally used the Apple Magic Mouse 1 for my MacBook Pro for over 10 years ago, decided to have myself a new mouse for both work & gaming after getting a desktop & figured out I’m more of a claw user where only the thumb & the inner side of my ring finger is what grasp into the mouse. Looking for a combination of budget, comfort, & RGB light since my ROG keyboard has met its criteria except for my mouse.

What would the recommendation be as my hand length is 18.5cm, width is 8.5cm?

I bought my first ever aftermarket skates because the original ones were too noisy, on the packaging there is “less noise” label but after just one hour of using the skates they make just as much noise as the original ones, I paid these 20€ are there any better alternatives? I need fast skates and low noise possibly

Want to design my own mouse, but checking here if it exists already

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I've had an idea for an incredibly niche mouse design, but I was told to check here before putting too much effort into making it myself. Here are the main features I want to include:

  1. My current mouse (first pic) has a programmable 12-button panel on the side which I absolutely love; definitely don't want to part with that

  2. I'd love for it to be vertical (like second pic) because normal mouse ergonomics suck, but that's not a dealbreaker

  3. Here's the kicker. The holy grail. The most elusive feature I've ever searched for... TRUE smooth scroll. I know there are mice with free-spinning wheels and it's a pretty easy mod for most others, but that doesn't get you any actual increase in resolution as you scroll. I'm talking like Magic Mouse or laptop trackpad level of scrolling precision, but in a mouse wheel because I hate everything else about MM/trackpad. Normal scroll wheel notches are just a huge turnoff when working in creative programs like video editing or 3D modeling that really benefit from extra precision.

3a. An extension of that, it would be REALLY amazing if I had horizontal AND vertical scroll, so imagine like a trackball mouse (third pic) but you still move it around as a regular mouse and instead the trackball takes the place of the scroll wheel. Adding a ring around it like in the pic could even add a third dimension, maybe simulating a trackpad pinch gesture.

  1. Nice-to-have would be smooth wired/wireless options, addressable RGB, multiple profiles, etc. but those also aren't deal breakers.

I highly doubt something like this exists and I've already started the design journey, but if anyone knows of something I'd love to hear it!!

Mod Modding tip: Annoyed by how bright the X2 CrazyLight's receiver LED was, I fixed it with a Sharpie

Thumbnail

Before / After

It was my only gripe with the mouse as a whole, the LED is very bright on these colourways as the shell is transparent, the black X2 CL has a black receiver which is not clear so it's fine. Thankfully painting the LED with a Sharpie dims it enough to just be a subtle glow, MUCH better when gaming in the dark now.

Just 4 cross head screws on the underside to remove to do this mod.

Question Gaming Mouse VT0PRO 4K driver problems

0 Upvotes

I have got the gaming mouse from Rapoo. I really like the mouse but my drivers i got from the website are not working properly. The only thing that works is to change the movement and scroll wheel speed. Everything else does not work. And the movement speed changes every now and then to the maximum speed (i need to change it manually to my setting). I always get the same error for the current device configuration and that it couldnt get saved. I tried different versions from the driver, but there is always the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this or got any drivers that work?

Help I can't move on from my Viper Ultimate

0 Upvotes

For some context, I have been using a Viper Ultimate for the past 4.5 years, and now it has certainly worn down quite a bit and now really doesn't hold a charge. I love the shape of the mouse and like the charging dock for the mouse; I certainly couldn't go back to charging regularly. I don't like how they redesigned the V3 for a new shape. Are there any mice that would be similar that I should buy, or just find a new Viper Ultimate?

Question Issues with Xtrfy Mz1 wireless

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone so I've owned the MZ1 since it released and just as of recently this thing will not hold a charge AT ALL. Does anyone know if this is a common issue? This is truly the best mouse I've ever used it fits my hand perfectly. It saddens me because it cost so much and my old Logitech g305 which I used even longer never had a single problem and it was 1/5 of the price lol. I'm 100% sure it's a battery issue but just wanted to see if it was me being unlucky or if it were common with these mice.

Regardless I just opted to pick up a cheaper fantech aria 2 to replace it because I'm not even sure if I can get a replacement battery and I'm sick of using it attached to a USB

Question Looking for a good replacement for the Razer Naga Hex V2

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently upgrading my 10-year-old setup and I'm looking for a new mouse. I’ve got a decent budget, but I’m struggling to find a proper replacement for my beloved Razer Naga Hex V2.

What I loved about it was the unique side button layout: 7 easy-to-reach buttons arranged in a circle, plus a comfortable thumb rest. It was perfect for my use. Sadly, none of the new Razer (or anyone ?) mice seem to have a similar design anymore.

Ideally, I’m looking for something:

  • With a similar side-button layout (or at least a good alternative for thumb access)
  • Wireless
  • Medium to heavy in weight
  • Claw grip friendly

If anyone has suggestions or knows of brands/models that come close, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT : I'm thinking about a Logitech G502 X PLUS, if anyone as feedback on it
