I realize this thing has bigger issues, but I'll never understand why all manufacturers hide the main screws behind the feet. Makes replacing switches so much more of a pain.

@@kekmaestro3627 Well the manufacturers don't offer direct replacements, and some parts like F-Switch encoders are apparently OEM only, but in general the wear parts (feet, switches, encoders, batteries) absolutely have same or equivalent replacements available (on AliExpress, anyway).

Helpfull video, should have watched it before buying this mouse. I´m struggleing with horrendous batterylife. Do you know whats the connector at the battery called? I´m thinking of trying to swatch out the battery for a bigger one...

How to: The pinky plate stays with the bottom. After the 4 bottom screws: 4 inward-facing clips that are part of top piece clip in to the pinky plate. 2 inward-facing clips that are also part of the top piece clip into the bottom plate. A tool in the seam and pryed out and up on each clip releases the top piece to be lifted straight up and off. The clips are stronger than they need to be.

Do you know what kinda of micro-switch the middle mouse button is? The flat/silent white one? The MMB button on my aerox3 is intermittent & I want to replace it. I think its a single-pin & soldered on the back? Know any options I can buy to replace/fix it?

It would be interesting to know about the exact battery dimensions. It looks to me, that there is still a lot headroom to replace the LiPo by a bigger unit: Simply remove the foam on top of the battery and put a bigger one. But for that, one might need the dimensions of it.
@systemofapwne

I bought myself that mouse and opened it: The physcial battery dimensions (including the battery protection circuit) are: 37x25x4mm. The long edge includes the battery protection circuit, so if you intend to buy a replacement battery and migrate the ciurcuit, order like 35mm length. The foam on top of the battery is also 4mm high. Same as the battery. I guess, it would be safe to replace the battery by 35x25x6mm (50% capacity buff) and put a thinner foam on top. There might also be some space to the left and right side by 5-7mm or so. NOTE: You definitely want that foam for allowing the battery to extend (all LiPos do that over time until their point of failure). It will also reduce sharp punctures.

Can anyone help? Taking mine apart today. My wheel stopped being responsive to the wheel (down) click...looks like it sits on a soldered piece, with a small white cylinder that is responsible for the clicking mechanism. If that mechanism is toasted (seems like it still slides up and down, but doesn't provide any mechanical clicking feedback), am I effectively SOL, except if I soldered a replacement piece on?

Do you think it would be possible to swap the top shell from the Rival 5 onto this? Been looking for something around the shape and button count of the Rival 5, but wireless. Aerox has holes, so I'm not a fan of it, but thinking I might be able to just switch them out (I'm aware I'd lose the top RGB).

@@Beardedbob Good to know, thanks. I guess I could consider just making a custom solid shell for the Aerox 5, it wouldn't add that much weight since it could be thinner. Or I'll stick to my OG wired Basilisk for a little longer and hold out for that sub-80g solid-shell 8-button ergo holy grail. (Yes, I do actually use all eight buttons.)

Yes, the scroll wheel might be problematic for this model. I've been using my Aerox 5 for 4 months and the scroll wheel sometimes scrolls the wrong way (about once every 10 scrollings). Very annoying and sucks in FPS games for jumping. Also, mouse3 only activates if pressed quite hard. I probably have some gunk stuck under the wheel that I'd need to disassemble to get out.
