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!

Dang, they do use standard switches I think so replacements could be soldered in. I had to do that a few times on my last mouse which was a Logitech g602.
