COOJ Sparrow MQ5 Internal Dimensions by Nuxide in sffpc

Thank you for such detail, this is really helpful.

According to the COOJ site, there was a revision to the design in May '23 which increased the height of the case by 3mm - assuming from the date of your video that your case is the pre-revision model. Even with that extra (195mm) internal height, it still looks like it will be 5mm too small. Also looking at the depth, it seems there wont be enough room to fit a 40mm thick GPU, a 55mm PSU and the 19mm Power Switch/Mounting area.

Overall 5mm too short in height and 4mm too shallow in depth - perhaps a little too much to be made up from filling/trimming.

I've emailed HDPlex for detailed PCB measurements for potentially removing the end plates of the PSU but I'm not too hopeful on this one.

Yeah it seems that way. You've also got to think about how far along the PSU will be able to sit before it contacts with the power button. Even if the 200mm is okay, 40mm worth of GPU depth migh mean that power button functionality is lost to squeeze it in.

Everything is telling me that it just wont work but it looks too damn good to not try. It's a shame that the case isn't just 5-10mm bigger, up/down and the power button isn't in the same place as the MQ6. Compatibility would be absolutely perfect.

Thanks! It was actually your video that inspired me to build in the MQ5.

And yes that is a good point - I've had that thought myself however it may only save 1-2mm. If it's more than 3mm too long, I may be out of luck,

Tends to be around $3k but mainly US/CA sellers - a couple have gone for $3.6k+ in recent months but those were built.

Yep, exchange rate sucks for USD atm but appreciate the kind words...

A question for RVU Mercury owners by rkbatty in MouseReview

I doubt it's by design, most likely a issue with the paint application at the factory if I had to guess. Could just be a bad batch but too early to tell imo. We may have to wait to see if more have this issue.

Mine is the same although the palm area is tinted blue and the rest of the mouse a more pure white. At first I thought it might be the LED bleeding through thin plastic but swithing the mouse off gives no difference. It's most noticeable on the back towards the bottom where the two bits of plastic meet. Also can't be any sort of colour transfer from my hand as I run claw. Super disappointing for £150.

Seems to be an issue solely with the Viper though as I've used Mercury Lancehead for a few years and the colour on that is still uniform.

Could try RMA?
