A way to get her to do it quietly.
This is very important for me because the child is sleeping,
every rustle is heard at night, not to mention systematic clicks.
Where does the loud click actually come from?
The click source is usually a micro-switch; a plastic case amplifies this sound.
It’s more important to remove the source of the loud click.
How to do this without changing micro-switches?
Focus will turn out only if your mouse has micro-switches of this type:
A few pictures and video
My mouse, ready for operation:
Solution:
Reduce the free movement of the moving contact, it is red in the picture.
It is necessary to disassemble the button, and press the upper contact to the lower one, it is green in the picture.
1) Clearance must be left.
2) You must be extremely careful.
Thus, the gap will become smaller, the stroke will become smaller, as a result, the click will become much quieter.
I even made it barely audible, but it is no longer very comfortable.
Well, a short video instruction:
I recommend training on corpses before moving on to the living.
UPD : Details about opening the micro-switch from the tried and tested method, writes 4vanger .
The easiest way is to insert a narrow blade into the slot near the edge on the long side and at the same time pull the lid up. The second option is to slip the blade from the narrow side down and pull it up towards you. This is somewhat more dangerous - the lid may crack.
It is easier to install the micro-switch case by turning the mouse upside down with a belly - otherwise the white button may fall out and it will be very difficult to find.
Thanks.
