Hi folks. I'm looking for a new gaming mouse, that's Linux friendly. I prefer wired lightweight mice, with an option to swap out (or solder) the switches. I'm currently using the Cooler Master MM720 which I love, but it's too loud for our tiny apartment, so I want something I can throw silent switches into. The MM720 uses optical switches so there aren't many options.

I've looked so far at the OP1, and that's literally the only thing that comes up when I search on reddit, so much so that it feels like an advertisement at this point. I'm not into crazy competitive gaming, and don't need 8k or anything fancy like that.

Thanks!

Might want to check out keychron.

I have the M3 and love it, but it’s not a particularly quiet mouse so may not be the biggest upgrade sound-wise

I got the new Keychron M5 ergonomic mouse with all the gaming features and I love it. It didn't take me long to get used to it and David praised it as well on LTT's Short Circuit channel.

FYI those unboxings on shortcircuit are sponsored by the manufacturers

As everyone on LTT has said before, their talking points are provided by the manufacturer but their opinions on those talking points are their own.

M6 here and everything works perfectly.
