Thank you, u/pzogel

Attack Shark V8, it is a clone of DAV4, Omron optical switches, which are super nice, good QC, long battery life. And it's quite cheap, around 50 Euros in Amazon.de

Ataemonus

Thank you, u/pzogel

Ataemonus

I wonder if this also fits the DA V4.

Ataemonus

Thank you, u/pzogel

Ataemonus

You've worked on these ? Interesting, given they are already on a Keychron mouse.

No, those people usually post on r/mousereview because they think what they did is actually nice.

Ataemonus

But they kept the 005 in the filename, what great customer support.

Does anyone still have the original 005 ISO file ? Because the incredibly bad CSE simply does nothing when trying to update, it fails, while the manual update Choose File button is simply dead for me, does absolutely nothing at all.

I have no idea what happened, but the ISO inside says T500_P8CR004.iso

Ataemonus

As far as I know, they all have that one if they have 3 pins.

Ataemonus

Thank you, u/pzogel

SPDT can be done with any 3 pin mechanical switch, it's just electrical design in the PCB and software in the firmware.

Ataemonus

Thank you for that. At first glance, it looks like some 54LM20 variant. I will take a closer look at both tech specs when I get the time.

Ataemonus

All the reasons I don't like 3D printed shells and did not get excited about an IE3.0 clone.

Ataemonus

Given the power management chip is Nordic and is dedicated exclusively to Nordic MCUs, one would conclude the Aeroha chip is simply a Nordic design built cheaper/licensed.

Ataemonus

Probably no DAV4 wired, so just repair the DAV3 wired, cable and scroll encoder should be easy to do, any local electronics repair shop can replace those easily, just buy the correct parts online.

Ataemonus

"Mouse repair technician".....enough said. Sure, I will check out your TikTok academy, lol.

Ataemonus

Nothing, it's just impossible, should be obvious to anyone with eye sight. But then again, anyone with eye sight would have figured that in order for the scroll wheel to come out, the PCB needs to be removed first, so...

For the sake of curiosity, please post pictures when you actually do get around to cleaning said dust proof encoder.

Ataemonus

Dear sir, do you have eyes ? It's a dust proof encoder, hence spraying anything "inside" it it technically impossible.

Ataemonus

Well, if you can't, you can't.

"Clean the encoder", I do hope you are joking.

Ataemonus

So, in short, poor hygiene....

Ataemonus

Your friend has some great taste in women and made some good choices in life, sounds like.

Ataemonus

Did you look ?

None of the suggestion I've read so far are in fact DAV3/4 clones. But yes, there are clones of DAV3/4, been already discussed several times if you had bother to search. Or at least tried the Eloshapes find similar...but I guess such things are far beyond the average redditor.

EWEADN A5, Machenike L8 Max, Attack Shark V8.

Cannot speak for the Machenike, but the EWEADN and Attack Shark are quite good, each in their own way.
