How to make your mouse WAY quieter! #shorts

My mouse was way too loud, so I took it apart and made it quieter! The left and right buttons each have a small switch that can be accessed once you pop off the top cover. Once the switch is exposed you'll see how it works. A flexible metal strip is pushed by the mouse button and causes a contact at the other end to snap into place and complete the circuit. It's this snapping motion that creates the sound. If you simply shorten the travel of that contact you can make it much quieter. Be sure to take your time and be careful, many computer mice are not designed to be taken apart and can be damaged by doing so. Good luck!

Here's the exact Lenovo mouse I used in the video - https://amzn.to/3a43j1F or You can buy a combo with a keyboard too - https://amzn.to/32s9E4i

Old Dining Table TRANSFORMED into Modern Side Table

Video | 5 years ago

We've had this hardwood dining table for years, it was painted at some point in its life and was looking pretty beat up. We recently decided to replace it but I didn't want to get rid of it, or at least not all of it. I saw some potential in the hardwood to...

153 LBS and RUSTED SOLID! Reed 206 Vise Restoration

Video | 6 years ago

I bought this Reed 206 vise from an older gentleman who was cleaning out his garage. I suspect the vise had been sitting on the floor for a very long time, or perhaps it was sitting in a wet field seeing as how rusty it was. The vise weighs 153 pounds, with...

Shortening a leather belt from the other end

Video | 7 years ago

This belt needed shortening by about 3 inches, but I didn't just cut off the end and punch new holes. Instead, I started at the buckle end and cut the stitching, skived the leather and re-stitched. I used leather chisels to create the thread holes and conta...
