Ofcourse, makes the mouse million times better. There is still some light copper"wire" which protects the actual functional wires from getting destroyed.

Get used to it, problem solved.

Get an abyssus :x

Have one but I can't hold it correctly. My LG has plummeted. I love the abyssus cord though.

change the cord then to the ones of the abyssus.

Is there much involved in that? I read somewhere that the cord just plugs in? I might do that of it's easy.

What mouse feet are similar to the stock ones?

actually i don't know for sure if its just plugged or if its soldered.
if its just plugged, then just change the wires like they were on the WMO cord sitting in its plug.

Can't you just stick the feet back in the places when you have finished?

hey how am I supposed to do that? (change the wires)

*as in: the mouse I want to attatch the new cord to had the cables in this order: green, white, red, 2x black - now on the new cord it goes like this: red, white, green, 2x black. I figured I will need to swap the green and red cables, but.. HOW?

take some small flathead screewdriver or similar, and bend that lill piece of plastic infront of the wire.
then you can just pull it out.

done!

muchos gracias

When a mouse cord becomes a 'problem' I think its time to look deep within and ask yourself, am I really the problem?

OCD is a son of a bitch.

You can wrap it in tape after you strip it, I've always wondered about using hockey tape since it's really stretchy and bendy.

.

What did you wrap the cord in?

Nothing. That's what is under the copper wire.

Has it lasted you awhile? I'm worried about the cord breaking if I were to do this :S

And did you use an exacto knife to remove the rubber?

>those random rigid as fuck mwo-cord curvatures bouncing around as you flick the mouse ruining your focus

Every fucking time.

How do I fix this?

I've done this mod as well, to both my IME and WMO, and wouldn't go back. I went slightly further though and removed the copper too - it snagged every now and then.

Now I just have the 4 USB wires coming out of my mouse. If they ever break I will replace the cord, which is very easy to do.

No need to strip all of the way - I just have a a foot and a bit of lightweight cord and the rest as usual.

Do it!

You cant replace WMO cord its fixed and soldered to pcb.
You need to desolder connectors and resolder new connection on it.
Which will be kinda pain in the ass.
It will be easy to buy new WMO to save hours or time.

well, good to know at last, that it's like this with the WMO.
But shouldn't it be quite easy to solder a new cable to it?
I mean:
-pull it out while u heat up the contact
-suck the solder out with desoldering pump
-cut off the plug of the new cable
-get rid of a bit isolation of the wires, put them in the contacts, and solder it.
-done

Desoldering pumps sound expensive :P

i mean this: https://www.amazon.de/Wentronic-51200-Entl%C3...amp;sr=8-1

Its easy for you and me ofc :P
Open WMO and see that connector is different than what you solder.
You need to desolder usb female from other mouse and solder it to WMO then you can join any wire to it.
If you are lucky and WMO didn't smoke then its ok if not then you messed up two mice.

so the WMO has another USB-connector?
I thought the wires were soldered directly to pcb.
Well, then its another story.

Its like they have stuck usb female straight on pcb.
Its not hard job but its very time consuming if you want to do it correctly.
And hoping that pcb wont smoke.

Is there an easier way of cutting the rubber off the cord? At the moment I'm just slowly edging through it using an exacto knife. Taking so long..

what about not giving a fuck ?

Not an option, sry.

I'm thinking of putting an Abyssus pcb with the cord into a WMO shell. There was a thread here about that if I recall correctly. You just can't go past that WMO shape.

You can do it but scroll wheel wont work and you have to do lots of cutting on WMO shell to fit Abyssus pcb.
Its just not worth it.

Well, I have a spare shell from a WMO 1.0 that I can try. without wrecking my 1.1a. You're right that probably isn't worth the effort, but it would be more of a learning experience. I'm not willing to risk busting an Abyssus just yet though. Something to try a bit later I order a spare one. :)

abyssus is perfect already, not worth it.

Some people can't stand the liftoff distance. I was going to try the tape fix but I am actually getting used to being able to track without touching the pad at times. I used to do this with other Razer mice too. I suppose it's all about how you hold it and track/aim.

exactly what i want to do.

Isn't the wmo internals (opticals and so on) more robust and better than the abyssus? (none of that negative accel and other wierd shit)

Unlike the WMO, I'm pretty sure the Abyssus doesn't have any negative accel if you set the drivers properly. The build quality on Razer mouse shells is terrible though, the shell button on my Abyssus broke only months after posting that. I never got around to finishing that mod but I may as well now.

I've bought mouse cord holder (Razer Bungee) and fatass WMO cord doesn't fit nicely. If I'll strip rubber won't cord be too thin to fit holder? :)

I ended up breaking mine (which I got as a Christmas gift from my gf.... oops) when trying to insert the WMO cord into it.

The solution was tape. No big deal.

Mine is already stuck on there by pressing it. It's a Razer Armadillo 2. Doing ok so far.

Well, somehow I sorted out mine as well, and slightly not as it supposed to be. But it works and much better than tape. Will post pic later.

What did you do btw?

Upper part fits ok but lower part was the problem, i just pulled cable like that and it works good for me.

just stripped my wmo, should i get rid of the tiny copper wiring underneath?

Yeah get rid of that stuff, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

DIY mouse bungees are the best solution.

Buy a steelseries Kana. Problem Solved.

The cord is stiffer on the kana though. It's so rigid I can feel the tension when swiping 10 cm.

Really? :/
