What mouse switches should I select?
What mouse switches should I select?
I intend to use different Mice switches than those included with the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. For the left and right buttons, I’ve chosen Japanese Omrons since they seem to perform well in other users’ reviews. However, I have a few queries.
1. How does the distinction between microvoltage/current and a standard switch differ?
2. What kind of switch weight would be preferable for left and right clicks? I’ve only seen the 150 grams (1.74 newtons) version, which feels quite strong to me, even though I haven’t tested it.
I’m familiar with Omron switches such as the D2FC-F-K(50M) for the buttons and the D2FC-F-7N for the side buttons on my Logitech G502 Hero. I appreciate how responsive they are and how smoothly they return after release (the D2FC-F-K(50M) doesn’t feel stuck).
I’m aiming for a microswitch that’s easy to press but not overly soft, with a more solid feel.
Additionally, I plan to switch the plunger to the one from the D2FC-F-K(50M) because the original would be too heavy for my mouse.
3. Should I consider using different switches for the side buttons? I’d like them to be easier to press and have a similar force to the D2FC-F-7N.
I’m finding it difficult to trust general summaries and descriptions of various switches—including Huano, TTC, Kalih, and Omron. Perhaps my personal notes could help someone who has tried many different options.
Here is the document with the switch specifications:

Please refer to “pin plunger” and disregard other types on the first page.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
It seems to focus on evaluating specifications and user experience. Comparing voltage, current, range, tolerances, and other parameters is essential. The discussion also touches on subjective aspects like mouse feel and comfort, noting that click force varies based on hand shape, finger length, and muscle strength. It suggests testing different switch options for side buttons, considering handedness and personal factors such as past injuries or arthritis. Creating a prototype and observing its performance can help refine the choice of switches. Overall, it’s a thoughtful approach to selecting the right components.
