" The stainless Mouse"

[Filimon]

The project which I started to do about ten months ago now is completed. And I am looking forward to hearing your opinion about it. It is only my mouse mod 3.
I am the administrator of the site www.modding.ru
1.My mouse mod was based on Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical, USB+PS/2
2 More than 90 per cent of plastic was cut out.

3 All the details ( including the wheel of scrolling and the buttons) were cast from the stainless steel 18/10 (which is used for medical instruments)Some decorations were cast and soldered.

The mouse mod was decorated by Svarovsky stresses.

The connector USB was cast from the stainless steel too.

The wire is inside the steel casing.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01735-24.jpg
I made a special case of glassy plastic for this mouse mod.
The mouse mod is in the case.

The hand is on the mouse.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01808-27.jpg
How to make the case for the mouse mod.Everything is rather easy.
You need
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01596-21.jpg
Then you need to buy some special plastic for mounting works.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01605-21.jpg
The case is covered by plastic. It takes me ages to fit the plastic to the case. Then you cut out the handles and the legs.
After that you cut the microporus (soft) rubber according to the shape of the mouse mod.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01628-23.jpg
Then you make the shape from the mouse pad ( they are soft and made of cloth)
Then you cover it with velvet.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01803-27.jpg
After that you fix the new handle with stresses to the case.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01756-25.jpg
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01757-25.jpg
Then you change the legs.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01734-34.jpg
Now you have the result.

Thank you very much for your messages. It’s interesting for me to hear your opinion about my project. My mouse mod is ergonomic enough and it's comfortable to use it.Of course I didn't spend a night to make it.It took me 8 months 5 days a week and 15 min. a day.
My mouse mod is reаlly funcntional. It was the difficult of my project. The mouse was given to my wife on her birthday.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC01601-21.jpg
I'm going to make the next mouse in hi-tech style.Every detail will be made of steel. You will never guess that it's a mouse.

[isunktheship]

LOL, craziness, I leave comment now...

[Ouch!]

Wow!
Very nice work.

I think that stainless steel must be very difficult to work with, as it's so hard and you've done a brilliant job!

Well done.

Ouch!

[scar~face]

wow...just...wow

that thing is BEAUTIFUL

though i do think the red stones are a little over the top

but still friggin awesome

[Filimon]

At last I’ve had a little spare time and I am going to continue my new mouse mod. I’ve changed something in the back of this mod.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Filimon_photo/DSC02243-8.jpg

I’ve cast and soldered some parts of the base of the mouse.

That thing looks cool, and also like some sort of weird torture device for PC users, lol. W00t SciFi computer accessories!

Note: No offense meant by the torture device comment. :D

[slytherock]

You really start getting on my nerves: why do you have so much talents? :D
People like you are why people like me quit modding... :D
Seriously, +rep again, this is too much :up:

And no, I dont quit modding, just working on my career right now...

[jdbnsn]

Looks amazing Filimon! Let me know when you are finished and I'll move a copy in the gallery with your other works.

Agreed. And as scared as I might be to put my hand in it, I don't think I could resist.

[Cymae]

reminds me of something out of lex... The second one is awesome too. can't wait to see what it looks like when its put together

note: these are actually TWO mice. if you look at the jeweled one and the other one look at the thumb, one has a guard, one doesnt. I kinda like the second one better :D

[jdbnsn]

I split your posts up in the Peripheral Mod Gallery so that all of your pictures could be seen.

Absolutely beautiful work. +rep.

Can you post a small tutorial of how you are casting the pieces. (tools needed, materials, etc.)?

[grizzlyironbear]

a titch over the top for my personal taste, i do like the stainless steel contruction, would be quite interested in seeing how you made the parts themselves, but i am just not into all the crystals. still, a GREAT mod on a mouse.... +rep
