Stiff right click on the mmo7+ due to sturdier right middle click support, moddable
So I wondered why the right click felt so stiff, why couldn't press behind the middle right click/dpi to activate it and felt like you were bending the entire button with the way the pre-travel felt. Found out why: The supports for the right middle click are sturdier/taller than the original, plus some extra height on the prongs that it slots in to on the "base" as well. You can replace the button with the original if you have one, or take it off, and it will make the right click lighter and "normal", sort of.
But it's not perfect mod ofc right away, the old middle clicks don't reach the button as the "hammer"(the plastic bit that actually clicks the switch on the pcb) is shorter so need to add extra height to it, glue some small piece to the old click or something. With the mod pressing behind the dpi/right middle click to activate the right click is now doable again, it's bit off still as have to click on the "front" of that back area if that makes sense, so still not quite how it is on the old mmo7 or the left click, maybe filing down the extra height on the prongs might help, idk. And the right click does sounds a bit worse and hollow if you click low or right of the button with this mod, but whatever, still 100% worth it.
So kind of a curious design choice to me, seems more like a design flaw cause any1 pressing the right click should immediately notice how stiff it is. I get wanting to make things sturdier so they don't break as easily and it's not gonna be exactly 1:1 perfect clone, but this part doesn't really feel like it needs anything extra in there, considering the heavy drawbacks. And the left middle is connected in a way that doesn't interfere with the left click as it feels the similar as the og as in can click anywhere on the rear of it just fine, so why not do that or more of copy of the original way.
Two other modding related things to note if you're curious about getting one/modding, old back pieces locking mechanism is slightly different size/shape than the new ones, so they rattle/move a small bit and gotta figure something to stuff in there if you want to use those without the rattle. Swapping to old left/right clicks top pieces, they seem to have slightly shorter hammers as well compared to new ones, not as much as the middle clicks, can still click with them, but some rattle, also this small weird pre-travel and can't click on the back of the left click even. Or they're slightly different shape, idk didn't spend much time with it, again probably not a hard mod to do
Also a general PSA: the stock skates have plastic covers that are exactly the same size as the skates. I did not realise that until I was already swapping for aftermarket skates. So if you wonder why the glide is bad, that's why, the stock skates are sameish as the ones on the original it feels.
