In this video, I perform a quick mod on an Amazon Basics Multicolor gaming mouse. I use the DPI switch mainly in Windows, but I occasionally use it gaming as well. The downside of this mouse (as well as any mouse with a DPI switch) to me is I press the switch accidentally a lot. I grew tired of this and decided to fix it for myself.
