Well, here I am again. I had originally planned on posting about my 3D printers as my next post. But that has changed.

Now you get a short post following up on the repair I posted about April 17th of 2022 where I repaired my Naga Trinity’s left click.

The Follow Up

Well. After around 2 years the switch once again began failing in the same darn way. Where it would double-click. Likely due to corrosion within the switch from slight arcing. Or at least that’s my best guess. And beyond my best judgment, because I had completely forgotten how difficult it was to remove the switch. I decided I needed to repair it again. With the same iron that was a poor choice last time because the battery on my new one wasn’t charged.

The repair at this point does appear to be a success in terms of restoring functionality once again. The whole job took about 75 minutes this time compared to the 2 hours of soldering I fought through last time. This time it was 10 minutes of me trying to find the screws to realize I had two sets of skids on the mouse. And another hour of struggling to desolder the switch again. Once again destructively removing it.

The Results

But hey. She’s once again fixed. This time with no extra materials needing to be purchased. I just used what I had from last time. But this experience CONCRETELY confirms the fact I need a better iron for this kind of thing. I also need to make sure to put the kittens away next time so they don’t decide that the screws on my work mat are toys. Because I am now down a screw. But I’m “fine” with that since it’s my mouse. Not like I plan on selling it later.

It also appears that since the last time I did this Razer appears to have replaced the Naga Trinity with the Naga Pro V2. So I might get myself one of those if this sucker crokes again. First I’m going to wait for the 2-year mark to hit for its release to see if it suffers the same problem.

Either way. HOPEFULLY the next post is about my printers. That’s the plan atleast.
