its my first time to mod a mouse

bottom plate mod : 90% done

shell mod : 0% done
(it should look like feinmann if i done the mod)

added wireless charging to randomly ahh mouse, works wit q2 chargers!!1 (still only pulls 5V though)

I am from Mumbai, India.
I have a Razer Viper V3 Pro wireles gaming mouse - Sentinels edition. Box not available but bill and all original in-box accessories available and everything extremely well maintained. No scratches no signs of use or wear and tear at all. Please check attached images.
Asking price is ₹10,000 since it’s well-maintained but it’s negotiable. DM if interested.

ive finished painting the mouse. this has to be the longest process because waiting for curing period is necessary, otherwise the paint just takes longer to cure fully.

as you can see the carving has been cleaned up further and a lot of bits that were sticking out have been sanded away. i used 600 grit to prep the whole surface of the mouse so that the white primer can stick well. painted the mouse over a week, currently it has a 1k clear coat on it to protect the fluorescent paint. I'm going to do a 2 compound hardener on the mouse so it can stay scratchless for a long time, but currently just testing the overall feel of the mouse and how it will wear.

made some mistakes with this but luckily they were totally reversable. i tried to go for quality over practicality with the areas i chose to paint. I decided to not leave any unpainted spots on the parts that I'm painting (even inside the mouse, areas that we cannot see from outside) which i shouldn't have done because the mouse has tight tolerances and fits inside the body. even adding 0.1 mm to some surfaces will cause the mouse to not assemble properly or feel stiff. In my case, the scroll stopped rotating and the mouse clicks became rigid. i fixed it easily by sanding and increasing the tolerance in a few places.

the mouse fits well now, everything works smoothly and feels like stock, the side buttons feel even better because the added layer of paint on the skeleton and the side button makes it less mushy and feel more responsive.

the mouse may look glossy and less grippy but it feels very stable in my hand.

the skates feel good even though i added some extra mms to the base.

i will use this mouse for gaming everyday for 2 weeks and see how and where the paint wears, then ill give it a final touchup and a hardened epoxy coat which will be the the final step.

Location: Pune, India

Used a dremel, files, xacto knife and sandpaper. Feels very nice on my hand.

pretty heavy mouse
Weight: 49gr

The shape was made with a flared pinky rest in mind, feels pretty good imo.
Please ignore the color I didnt feel like opening another spool of filament...

45g (using original battery with tape and dot skates)

Modelled in Autodesk Fusion, printed on a Bambu lab P1S using standard PLA.

Disclaimer: Part of the side button PCB needs to be broken off if you dont want it sticking out.

Hi all, quick update about a major round of improvements I've made for my proudest mod project to date: It's all wrapped up with the V2!

Dialed in the weight balance, click feel, side button stability & strength, battery placement, installation process; pretty much anything that could be improved from the first batch / version!

I'm just about ready to have the first orders of the V2 sent out, and future orders are already continuously open! Just finalizing some equally improved packaging practices & materials, and they'll be out the door in just a handful of days. A more detailed, updated installation guide will also be finished soon!

Reached out for showcase on Eloshapes, but in the mean time, a 3D preview on my site will have to suffice. 👀

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me so far! Looking forward to getting it out there, in the hands of all who are interested. I'm happy to answer any questions in this thread! ❤️

Originally posted on r/MouseReview but since then I sanded down the contact points which actually made it grippier, and removed some extraneous supports and a chunk of the right side as I don’t grip there and didn’t like the flare.

Went from a 8.5/10 to a 9.8/10 for me. I think I’ll adjust the trigger heights and reprint.

So my Ajazz AJ159 Apex scroll wheel started acting weird a few weeks ago. At first it would randomly delay, skip, or scroll the opposite direction sometimes. I thought maybe dust or debris got inside, so I tried cleaning it and blowing air into the wheel area. It kinda helped for a bit, but now the scroll wheel is basically completely dead after only around 6 months of use which honestly sucks.

I’m thinking the rotary encoder probably died, but I’ve never repaired a mouse before so I’m not sure what encoder is compatible with this mouse or what size/spec I should buy. I also saw some encoders with dust covers and was wondering if those are better for long term use.

Has anyone here repaired an AJ159 Apex before or know what encoder fits it? Any recommended brands/models to buy? Also would appreciate any tips for soldering/replacing it since this would be my first time trying to fix a mouse.

Thanks.

After spending 3 weeks on fusion I managed to get a design I'm happy with, thumb rest and pinky together also on its way.

The standard superlight shape always seems to be missing something. The generic potato shape is very smooth and hard to get any downward force for quick flicks.

Couldn't find anything online. Asked people to help me with but no joy so decided to do it myself.

This simple not destructive mod with adaptable mouse feet height depending if you use glass or cloth will give you the stability you've been missing.

Ealily knock 10 grams off the standard base.

Progressing through a new exo skeleton too to further knock 8 grams of weight off.

Weight goal is 40 to 43 grams.

Pm me for me info

I've been playing shooter games on this thing for the majority of my time having it n shi was cool till I decided to play OSU for the first time on it, I found out that it was very, very slow. And I kept losing in certain maps where you had to switch between opposite sides of the map very frequently. Any suggestions on what I should do ? (I dont clean the mouse pad for what that info is worth, and I think the bottom of the mouse is slowly getting eaten away, and I'll id a picture to show its state)
