00:00Kale GM 8.0 vs Mouse Skate Feet, which upgrade actually wins?
00:04I tested both, and honestly, the results surprised me.
00:09Double-clicking mouse?
00:11Dead clicks?
00:13Before you buy a whole new mouse for $50, there's a $2 fix.
00:17I dug through the listings and found the best deals on GM 8.0 switches,
00:21so stick around, I'll rank them all and tell you exactly which one to grab.
00:26First up, the crowd favorite, the Kale New Style GM 8.0 with the transparent shell and blue dot.
00:32This thing is rated for 90 million clicks, that's the highest lifespan in the whole GM 8.0 lineup,
00:38so it'll basically outlive your next three mice.
00:41It's $3.31, it's got nearly 5,000 sales and a 4.8 rating,
00:46and the clear shell just looks cool if you've got a mouse with a visible internals or you're into modding.
00:51If you want the longest-lasting switch for the money, this is it.
00:55Next, the Kale Blue GM 8.0, the perfectionist's pick.
01:00Here's the thing, it's the only one on this list with a perfect 5-star rating across 3,400-plus
01:05sales.
01:07That doesn't happen by accident.
01:09It's $3.91, so it's the priciest single switch here, but you're paying for consistency,
01:15every unit clicks the same, actuates clean, and no dead-click horror stories in the reviews.
01:20If you've been burned by a sketchy replacement before, spend the extra $0.60 and sleep easy.
01:27Third, the bulk buy champion, 10 pieces of the GM 8.0 gold contactor for just $2.27.
01:34Wait, under $3 for 10 switches?
01:37Yeah.
01:39That works out to about $0.23 each, which is honestly cheaper than a pack of gum.
01:44These are rated for 80 million clicks with gold-plated contacts, which resist oxidation,
01:49that's the main cause of dead clicks on older mice.
01:52If you fix mice for friends, family, or you've got a drawer full of double-plicking Logitech's,
01:57this is the one.
01:59Fourth, the flexible option, the GM 8.0 gold contactor sold in packs of 1-10 pieces at $2.71.
02:07Why does that matter?
02:09Because sometimes you only need one switch for the left click, and buying 10 is overkill.
02:14This listing lets you scale, grab a single for a quick fix or a full set for a group buy
02:19with your squad.
02:20It also holds a perfect 5-star rating, so the quality's there at every quantity.
02:25Best of both worlds, bulk pricing when you want it, singles when you don't.
02:31Fifth, the middle ground pick, another 10-pack of GM 8.0 gold contactor switches, this time
02:36at $3.19.
02:39Same 80 million click rating, same gold contacts, but this listing has over 2,500 sales and a
02:444.8 rating, so it's a proven seller with plenty of recent reviews to check before you
02:49buy.
02:50If the $2.27 pack sells out, and cheap listings like that always do, this is your reliable
02:55backup at basically the same per-piece price.
02:58Never hurts to have a plan B.
03:01So, GM 8.0 switches or new skate feet?
03:05My verdict, if your clicks are dying, switches win, no contest.
03:09Skate feet fix glide, switches fix the actual button.
03:13All 5 links are in the description below, prices checked and ready.

03:22upgrades, and I'll see you in the next one.
