Corsair M65 RGB ELITE Mouse Tactile Switch (Scroll Wheel) Replacement

Inleiding

This guide will help you fix your Corsair M65 RGB Elite’s (Model Number: CH-9309111-NA) scroll wheel or completely replace it with a new tactile switch. This model is known to have this issue as the middle button is a tactile switch, which isn’t up to par with mouses nowadays that have micro switches that are rated for 20 million clicks.

One of the main culprits of the scroll wheel button not working may be due to accumulation of dust, which can be solved with the use of WD40 — or even better if accessible: Permatex dielectric grease.

If the switch needs to be fully replaced, steps 8 and 9 will consist of soldering and desoldering of the tactile switch on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The switch size of this particular mouse is measured 6.00 mm by 6.00 mm with a depth of 5.00 mm vertical (with two pins).

Before tearing down the mouse, double-check the scroll wheel button by connecting your mouse to other devices, running your hardware troubleshooter, and by updating the mouse drivers. Once identifying it’s not a software issue, you may proceed to fix the button physically after disconnecting the mouse from any ports.

    • There are 2 screws in the base of the M65 elite, either side of the lowest weight screw. Use a long Phillips PH00 to remove these, as they will make removing the inside cover easier

    • Pry in between the aluminum and plastic parts of the lower part of the mouse chassis using a spudger.

    • Work around the left and right click areas with the spudger to further loosen and remove the mouse shell.

    • You may need to use a little force to remove the shell, but not much.

    • Pry in between the aluminum and plastic parts of the upper section of the second mouse chassis using a spudger.

    • Carefully make your way around the chassis with the spudger.

    • Very little force is needed to remove this piece, as long as the 2 underside phillips screws have been removed.

    • Potential for device damage. Do not pull the chassis from the mouse; these parts are connected by sensitive ribbon cables.

    • Remove the ribbon cable by lifting up the black section with tweezers or needlenose pliers. The cable will slide right out. Remember the inside side of the cable is all white and the outer side should have blue text on it.

    • Now you can work on the half that has all the components.

    • If your tactile switch is not being replaced, Steps 8 and 9 are optional.

    • Desolder the faulty tactile switch.

    • For soldering help, check out the guide on soldering/desoldering connections.

    • Remove the faulty switch when loosened.

    • Caution: Hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. Eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, face shields, etc.) must be worn when soldering. Usage of a soldering clamp is highly recommended as soldering irons can reach temperatures of 200°- 480°C.

do not spray WD40 on electronic switches… clean them with alcohol

Please do not follow step 3 or you’ll break the cover. You don’t have to pry that plastic cover off. Just undo the two screws at the bottom and it easily comes off.

Also, if your left click feels mushy or has a lot of pre-travel where you can’t spam your clicks, just tighten those two screws at the bottom and that should solve those issues.

I can confirm that opening the mouse , cleaning up the omron micro switch(I am pretty confident those are high quality switch) , lubricating the micro switch , reclosing the mouse and tighten the srews fixed it for me. Theres no problem spraying a small amout of wd on a micro switch in the end its a mechanical micro device. Also do not follow step 1 and 2 . Simply unscrew the two philips screw under the mouse and it open very easely

I have 6 of these mice and none of them have ever worked (since day one). In fact, up till reading this article, I believed this mouse just simply didn't support this feature.
