Hi,

this a really great guide for a great mouse Thank you. I disassembled my RAT 5 cause I have a problem with the middle mouse button (double and triple clicks) But unfortunately there is nothing on the small microswitch to identify it. I hope somebody here knows which type it is or better a good replacement. That would be great and helpful. thank you.

regards sam

Do you still recommend this mouse for gaming usage?

unfotunately i have no idea what type it is.


for this rat 3 not really. software kinda basic with not much customization. probably new one like Rat. T.E is better with much better software.

Hi,

a little late but fortunately I found the right type :-) . Maybe its interesting for others too. I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-2pin-mouse-m...1-/141097601808

These switches are working just fine (for the middle mouse button)

regards sam

i cant see the image wat happen??????

great review and tutor.. but these rat mouse look very cheap on the inside..

image works fine on my side. Probably refresh your browser or clear caches?

I know right but still the external looks cant be denied that it look awesome. Wish i have money for RAT7...

yeah.. i used to repair razer mouse.. its look very expensive and the board much much bigger and more complicated circuit..

At first, nice guide!
Is it possible to take out the USB-Cable to sleeve it?
Mine is affected and... It isn't looking great.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my english...

-sori

the usb cable already come in sleeved.

Yes, but the sleeve is affected and uncovers the Cable...

from what i remember, you cant change the sleeving. You may require to separate out the bottom chassis with the middle chassis which i have no idea how. They dont seem to be screwed on.

Hi c2_lover,

Can you please confirm which Omron switch was used in your repair? Any idea on the Newton rating of the original switch? If you are unsure I'll order a set of each and report back

My R.A.T. 7 has a dead switch and I figured now was the time to get some decent replacement switches. Great guide and leg work on determining the correct replacement switches!

Thanks,

Jim

Unfortunately i ordered D2FC-F-7N before i knew about the japan version of D2F-01 switches. Thankfully the switches still working to date and im satisfied with it. I dont know the newton rating of the original switches though.

Thanks for the reply, I'll order both types and report back... I'll start with the -01F and if they seem too weak, I'll order the -01's

Well, I just soldered in the -01F's, they offer more resistance than the stock switch, I'll use them for a while and see if I can get used to them.

Good to know my guide manage to offer some help

sorry for revive this thread.....
my middle button broken, anybody know which omron switch is the replacement?

Sorry cant help with that as im not sure myself. however you can check post #24 above and check if its compatible with your mouse.
