Soap Mouse

This is kinda cool, and simple to make too. Basically the insides of an optical mouse put inside halves of clear bottles and wrapped in fabric. The result is a Soap Mouse, named after the way you control it.

That is very odd. Talk about your innovative thinking! That guy was doing pretty well in the video game too. I wonder how long it took him to learn to use it so effectively? I wish I had a spare optical mouse laying around or I would try making one myself just to see how well it works.

Good find! +1rep

I found a few possible candidates for optical mice on newgrounds. each were under $10. Bottles and some vinyl and sewing from your grandma don't seem to be that hard to find. If you could, you could even disable the buttons on a mouse and wrap that in a sock instead!

Anyone want to give this a try and let us know if its even worth doing?

Yes, Sorry about that. My mind was elsewhere. Should I or whoever makes it make a worklog on however they did it their way? I was even wondering about incorporating induction charging into the mouse.
