My Mouse mod!

[lorddarkwolf]

Well been visiting this forum for some time now and thought I’d post some pictures of my mouse. Sorry about the image quality but I’m using a Lego camera (bought it really cheap) to capture the images I use. The mouse is a 5 button Microsoft intellimouse optical. I painted it black and cut a window in to it. I also placed a Lego skeleton figure on the inside of the mouse. The blue light is from my computer case.

Here is a picture in low light. so you can see the glow.

skeleton, eh? you should post some better lit pictures.

what did you use for the window? i had a project where i put a fan in my mouse and it looks a lot like yours, but i wanna remove the fan, as it got noisy, and just add window that conforms to the curve of the mouse. preferably without having to heat and mold plexi.

+rep for the skel ^_^

What I used for my window is a combination of 4 things.
1. I used a peice of plastic fron a 2-liter pop bottle on the inside glued it in place to get the basic shape of the mouse.
2 I then filled the hole with hot glue. then
3rd I placed a thin peice of plastic (that I got out of junked laptom screen.) cut to fit on top of the hot glue.
And last thing I did was clear coat the mouse in hopes of preventing the hot glue from yellowing like it did before. ofcourse before I had yet to paint the entire mouse black. There my be better things out there yo use other than what I used, but its what I have available to me at the time.
