Wow!!! Looks better than Crimson's mouse mod (hope he didnt hear :p). Is it very easy to use?

I wouldn't say all that... It's appreciated though.
As far as it's use... it feels like a normal mouse. If anything the cheekbones on the sides make it easier to use buttons 4 and 5.

Very kewl!!! Looks GREAT.. The only thing that might make the eye "pop" a bit is if you bloodshot it a bit with some very very thin lines.. Not that it is really needed just an idea!

Great work!!!

Hmm... i think i might just do that. I thought the white was a bit plain.

Great job! I love it! I have seen so many creative designs on this forum, I really love to see what everyone comes up with.

Looks great man! Questions though: Did you get the fan in there though or did you leave it out? Do the LED's turn on and off with the comp or is it always on?

I hope to see more mods like this future, ya hear? Looks great, be proud :D

The fan is is in there. I wish the full 12 volts was pushing it but 5v will have to do. As far as the mouse staying on when the pc is off, it does. But i was thinking of putting a switch on the bottom connected to the ground wire so i can switch it off.

Well my gf said i should have a shelf full of monster mouse mods cause she loved the cyclops. Who knows... i already miss modding cases. Time to go to the local comp shops and see if they have anything i can take out of their hands.

Damn i just realized and noticed that the mouse I used is the exact same 5 button mouse Dfyant used for HPII. Except his is sleek and sexy with a turbine fan...
