I copied /u/cloutette and used 5.5mm silicone wedding ring bands on the original scroll wheel. Ring size 9.5 fits the same as stock. Here is a link to the ones I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLJ4FTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got one on amazon that I believe has all 4 cards on it. You could get one and just turn it so the ace of hearts is visible. :)
This post inspired me to look around at different rings. Check out the colors of this set of four rings Amazon is selling. Yay!
This mouse is the only one that doesn’t give me cramps and that I can use. Before this I used a Model O-. Perhaps the strange thing to many is that I don’t game almost at all, and when I do, I use a gamepad. I use this mouse for my work. It’s light and comfortable, but I couldn’t get over how it looked. This was my first ever spray paint job, and I’m well over 30. It’s not perfect, but for the first attempt it turned pretty good.
Wet sandpaper with varying grits.
Spray paint: Gray primer, graphite for shells, black for buttons. Clear coat in matte.
Mouse wheel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLJ4FTB
Paracord: Paracablemods in black & gray stripe.
With this mouse, there’s multiple spots where you need to be careful, here’s some pointers.
- It’s very easy to snap the little holder pieces that hold the board inside the mouse, so I’d recommend a pick tool and careful prying.
- When assembling the mouse, don’t just snap it together, align the front first so the small clips don’t break.
- When painting, either cover sensitive sections inside the mouse with blue tac or tape, or sand the areas later. For me, I didn’t cover the holder pieces for the scroll wheel, and I had to sand down those, as well as a small triangle piece next to it, otherwise it was getting stuck on the freshly painted coat. I also sanded the middle button hole later. It’s also important to cover the sensor area with tape so the new coat doesn’t extend further into the hole.
- Hair dryer really isn’t good for heating the paracord heat shrinks. Get a lighter.
honorgear women 9.5 silicone rings
I used these and they fit perfectly. Comes with a bunch of different colors as well
These in a 9.5 ring size fit the wheel perfectly https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLJ4FTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and you get 6 colors for $8. There are more on amazon if you seek another color!
If you absolutely want to have it with you, I would say wear as a necklace- different from OTF but physicians I work with do that when they do surgeries and it works well. Only thing is the possibility of having it dangle when we do certain workouts (push ups, etc.)
Another alternative, which I actually do and have seen others do, is purchase a silicone ring. If you don’t care for brand, they could be very inexpensive- I bought these silicone bands from Amazon and they work well! They haven’t interferes with rowing/weight floor.
Then of course, if you’re 100% okay with not having one with you- leave at home :)
I can’t say about those but I nodded my o- with these and it 100% works.

i got these in a 9.5 size
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLJ4FTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but its doesnt fit the best because its a little too skinny. the ring is 5.5mm wide so you should find one that is a millimeter bigger it would fill in more of the scroll wheel.

I folded a piece of paper in half and put it in between the bottom of the triggers and the top shell and cut it to be flush with the shape of the mouse. Also right under the dpi button, now they are solid as hell and still click as normal.
For the scroll wheel I got this on Amazon, I’d recommend a size 10

Where to buy?
Why did I replace the scroll wheel?
The original scroll wheel slips. What I mean by slip is that when you scroll up or down the rubber ring will move but not the wheel itself.

Size 9.5 for a tight fit, 10 for a looser fit

Choose size 9.5 for a perfect fit. However it's not as tall as the original one though, maybe try size 10? Not sure but i bought 9.5 and it's all good.
Thanks :) just make sure if you get one, go with size 9.5. I wish the set I got came in teal, but can’t go wrong with black.
