Wow! It worked for me. I just finished following the tutorial and now I have a very silent MX master after 4 years of wishing a perfect mouse was more silent. Thanks.

Thank you for this perfect tutorial, no 10 minute introduction and begging to subscribe, just straight to the point. Just modded my mouse and its incredibly quiet, finally feels great to use.

I triend with soldering pasted and with a Weller soldering station at 450 °C but I was not able to remove the old button. How did you do that? Any suggestion? Thanks

One of the the best video on 2S! Thank you!

This is so cool! May considering doing it. If only there was a fix for scroll wheel like this..

Thank you so much! The loud clicks were driving me insane and was about to buy mx3s but saw this video before and it worked!!! Really good instructions!

Wow! I tried to find a "silent click" ergo mouse for the longest time before giving up and settling for the MX Master 2S... Watched this, then ended up snatching some silent switches out of a cheap Amazon mouse I had laying around and swapped those into my MX Master and I'm in love! The MX Master with Silent Switches is THE PERFECT MOUSE! Will be doing the same again whenever I finally upgrade my 2S! 😍 Cost: $0

One day I will do something good enough for Philip! I'm so sorry Philip, what on Earth can I do to make it up to you??

I will definitely try this! Switched from Nexus Silent, which my ears loved, but my wrist hated, to MX Master 3 which my wrist loves but I'm getting really annoyed by the loud clicks. Maybe I can transfer the nexus buttons instead of just binning it

Thank you for the video, helped me a lot. I can work from home late at night without bothering the wife with annoying clicky sounds. Note for anyone that will try this: the ribbon cable clips are very delicate, they open up like a hood.

thanks bro
