Hydro-dipped a 3D printed lightweight shell for my MX Master 3 — thinking about switches next
Found a 3D printed lightweight shell design for the MX Master 3 online (honeycomb/lattice pattern to cut weight) and decided to give it a proper finish. Printed it out, then hydro-dipped it in a carbon fiber pattern film and topped it off with a clear coat for protection and shine.
Really happy with how it turned out — the exposed lattice work looks great with the carbon fiber texture, and it's noticeably lighter than stock without feeling flimsy. Transplanted the scroll wheel, side button, and thumb rest over from the donor mouse without any issues.
Now I'm torn on whether to touch the switches at all. Stock ones actually feel fine to me, not mushy or anything — but since I've already gone this far with the mod, part of me wants to go all in and swap them too. Anyone here swapped switches on an MX Master 3? Worth it, or should I just leave well enough alone? If it is worth doing, what switches would you recommend?
