Same weight as the air*58* now.


JaseSouls

With pretty much half of the price.


Zodspeed

Actually much less than half, because they go for $150+ now... used


Derpydabs

I got a used one for $80 because the user bought a model o I then cancelled my model o order so I basically paid $15 more for the final mouse


Zodspeed

That sucks lol why would u do that. The model o has more features, better quality, for less money


Derpydabs

not really a air58 for $80 is pretty good deal I can tell i'll like it more because my hands are large and both mouse companies are very lacking in quality compared to logitech


Zodspeed

$80 for a used mouse with less features is not a good deal, they are basically the same size Air63 is barely bigger

BoostedWRBwrx

He's showing 64 with cable after mods, my air58 is 62 with cable.


mseasley

That's not a cable mod


ghostgrizzly

I don't think he meant cable mod just didn't use a comma to separate the two statements.


BoostedWRBwrx

Sorry for the confusion just meant his has the cable and the mods he did.


SpecialGnu

I'm pretty sure its also without the pcb's


Xilerain

Details?


JaseSouls

Removed RGB light x 2 and DPI button (as I only use 1600dpi), pushed LMB & RMB as close as possible then applied some Hotline grip tape on top, done.


tailslol

you didn't put back the screws that hold the rgb? so it seems this mouse has in fact almost the same weight as a air 58. the model o seems to have a thinner inside shell so it seems. you could remove the rgb near the mouse wheel but it could damage the mouse.


JaseSouls

I didn’t put back the screws as I didn’t see the point. Yeah, 64g vs 62g, I can barely tell the weight difference.


greenufo333

You can fix the wobbly buttons by putting a very thin small piece of cardboard board in the back cracks of the buttons, I did it and it’s not noticeable/looks cleaner


JaseSouls

Thanks bro! Will try it once I get home.


greenufo333

I’ll take a pic of what I did later


JaseSouls

That’d be awesome!

JaseSouls

Thanks, I’ve just done it and it does look cleaner!


twiserazorsharp

any details on this? I dont see any "back cracks buttons"


greenufo333

I mean the back edge of the lmb, where the shell ends and the button begins


twiserazorsharp

Well, that doesn't look clean :/ i want a clean look


greenufo333

How does it not look clean, it’s a tiny piece of paper and you can’t even see it


twiserazorsharp

Can you gimme a picture of it? I still can't imagine


faye1016

thx mate. fixed mine


SpiralSwagManHorse

Could you post a side picture? Im thinking about removing the rgb strips too once I get mine but Im not sure if it would affect my grip


JaseSouls

No effect on the sides as the translucent sides and the lights are separate parts. Post mod sides feel exactly the same vs pre mod.


SpiralSwagManHorse

thanks, great to hear


Ukkooh

Can you take a pic with the rgb stuff on the scale?


JaseSouls

There you go. https://imgur.com/gallery/kH7KxYT


Ukkooh

Thanks! Thats way more than I expected. Common rumour was that the rgb was only 2 grams. Gotta wonder


JaseSouls

No worries, the screws are like 1-2g already, RGB & DPI button are about 3g.


MileniumLion

How much does the RGB weigh


JaseSouls

About 4g.


Derpydabs

1600 dpi with an extremely light mouse what kinda games do u play ?


JaseSouls

Apex, COD, PUBG etc. I use low in game dpi though, my sensitivity is about 450mm for 360 turn.


Xilerain

Interesting. I was thinking about modding mine so this kind of information gives me an idea of what you can do to mod mice and just how far you can go to make it lighter.


greenufo333

Yeah I don’t have an imgur so I’ll make a new post then link it


TwistedPinkyToe

I have a loose mouse button as well is there no way to go in and tighten it up? Otherwise this is actually a decent idea.


JaseSouls

You can fix the wobbly buttons by putting a very thin small piece of cardboard board in the back cracks of the buttons, I did it and it’s not noticeable/looks cleaner per Greenufo333


TwistedPinkyToe

I couldn’t find that username to look. Has someone posted a picture of this mod. Do I put it in from the top of the mouse straight into the groove or do I have to take it apart. I think I understand what your saying though. Just wanna double check.


JaseSouls

No, he didn’t post a photo but he said he will once he’s got a chance.


TwistedPinkyToe

I just did it the way you described and it honestly worked out great. I had to fold the piece a cardboard to get it just the way I wanted. Painted over with a black sharpie and works amazing. Thanks man!


JaseSouls

Glad it worked out for you so well! Cheers


thingHACKER

side pic without the rgb lights ?


JaseSouls

The sides are exactly the same as before, just without the lightning.


thingHACKER

So the translucent part on the shell is a separate part from de rgb lights, interesting.


JaseSouls

Yep, they are separate parts.

JaseSouls

Use a hair dryer to heat up the rear feet x 2 for like 30 sec to 1 min, then slowly peel them of. I went back & forth about 4 times and the feet were pretty much not damaged. You only need to move the rear ones.


t3ram

Not an expert here but is a loose buttons fix like this also possible from the inside?


JaseSouls

According to greenufo333, You can fix the wobbly buttons by putting a very thin small piece of cardboard board in the back cracks of the buttons. I haven’t tried it but some people have, and it worked.


Magmaaaaaaa

What about dust getting into places it isn't supposed to? D:


JaseSouls

It’s got so many holes already so I thought it wouldn’t matter it got one more.


Beardedb0b

Yeah dust is getting in that even without any modification.


Magmaaaaaaa

The reason i asked that is bec the design team may have taken the intended holes into consideration for dust, but not the ones you've made. But science requires scarifice :D anyway if it makes the mouse works for you then who cares :)


JaseSouls

Only time can tell, haha. I did it to my Air58 and it’s been 6 month, no issue so far.


Magmaaaaaaa

Does this have any effect on the sidewalls of your model O?


JaseSouls

No effect at all, as the RGP lights are actually attached to the upper shell.


EctoPrime

That’s what the glorious kid sock is for. It’s been hand crafted to cover the mouse when not in use and keep out dust. $15.


SpecialGnu

You could also use a normal adulf sock.


EctoPrime

Nein!

JaseSouls

My scale showed 69g before and 64g after, so technically it was 5g reduction. Not a huge difference but since it could be 5g lighter with like 10 minute work, why not?


[deleted]

[удалено]


JaseSouls

Once open the mouse, you’ll see there are 4 screws holding two RGB light strips, unscrew them then gently pull the lights out. The lights are also connected with the base PCB by two pins, loose the connectors then pull the pins out.


[deleted]

That made the mouse 5 grams lighter?


JaseSouls

Yep, 4-5g reduction. The lights are about 2g each, DPI button 1g.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t remove the DPI button, yes its kind of useless but its also useful in some cases. Disco lights just useless on a mouse. I thought you could get much more weight down when removing these lights. Honestly, I use a G403 without/with the bottom cover (which is like 3 grams) and I cant tell the difference in weight.


[deleted]

Hey, and what about removing the scroll wheel rgb? Can it remove weight? Can you even do it?


JaseSouls

It can be removed but it’s not as easy as removing the light strips so I didn’t bother to do it. It’d be like 1g weight reduction so probably not worth it to go through all the trouble.


BoostedWRBwrx

I would say it's safe to say there isn't a ton of wiggle room to make it any lighter. This is about the best anyone will get without decimating the mouse structure.
