My current mouse needs to be taken apart and cleaned out mostly because the wheel has dust/cat/human hair probably wrapped up in it and sometimes gets fussy. The other reason is the sleeve over the wiring is coming off and out of the mouse itself leaving the wires slightly exposed, the black sleeve, not the individual colored ones... no copper is exposed.
I was thinking of doing a steampunk(ish) mouse but not sure where to go to get little brass fittings tubes or gears.
Next I have seen a steampunk mouse utilizing a skull of some small animal and thought about possibly doing something similar but also have no idea where to get one with out killing a stray cat which would anger the GF very much I suspect!
Then lastly I thought about the general bulk of the mouse, leaving some space inside and was wondering if that would be a good place to put a thumb drive discreetly out of the way? A mouse with storage and if anyone might have some ideas on how to utilize the thumb drive using the same USB cord as the mouse since they have USB splicers would that work?
Gimme any feedback, advice or stone cold facts I'd really like some discussion on this before going through with it as this would be my 1st "TRUE MOD"
Also a side thought, would a skull like mouse look cooler if it looked demonic or looked like a relic/magic device for the dark arts? Opinions encouraged!
