While hot gluing the encoder and switch to the axle guide, you will want to glue the encoder first, with the wheel slotted correctly in place, and then solder the switch accordingly to ensure proper alignment. I also mounted the scroll wheel encoder and "middle click" switch to the axle guide. Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures for this step, but the principle is simple enough.īasically all I did here was desolder the microswitches and the scroll wheel encoder, and then resolder them with wires so that I can reposition them however I like. Now that we have some parts, we'll move on to do some soldering. Using some Cyanoacrylate glue from BSI (one of the better brands, in my opinion) I then glued each clicker pad to its respective guide so that it actuates exactly as it would were it still attached to a mouse. I ended up with 3 pieces: the left and right finger rests, and the guide for the clicker pads.įrom there, I cut the clicker pad part as well as the corresponding guide neatly in half. The scroll wheel axle guide is best left with a 1/2 centimeter square skirt of plastic around the edges, as seen in the photos.Īfter that, I decided to cut apart the upper section of the mouse. I used an X-acto knife and my snips to cut off all of the curvy edges, with the end goal of obtaining both the optical port (the hole in the base) and the scroll wheel axle guide as separate pieces.

Now, you should have several assorted plastic bits. Then, fully disassemble the outer shell of the mouse, so that the clicker pads are separate from the grip/palm rest. While disassembling, keep all of the parts, you will need many of them later.Īfter all the paneling is removed, you will want to identify and remove the circuit board. Usually there are a few obvious ones, and if the mouse was made by any typical company, there's a good chance of there being a couple screws hidden either under the label or under the feet. I suppose that was for the better anyway, because I ended up using the microswitches, paneling, and scroll wheel from the 1st, as I preferred them to the ones in the 2nd mouse.įirst we have to find all of the screws on the bottom of the mouse/mice. I actually used 2 different mice in this project, because I was stupid and forgot to check if the first one worked. I really appreciate all of you that have decided to follow along so far, and I hope to continue to be able to make awesome stuff with your wonderful input, advice, and support. Your voting/favorite-ing/following helps me be successful as a maker, and motivates me to build more awesome projects more often. Read on to build your own, and please, please don't forget to leave a vote in the Colors of the Rainbow contest if you like this project.

And that spawned my idea to use the optical sensing system in one of these old mice to read input from a trackball, essentially creating a trackball mouse.
USB OVERDRIVE FORGETS MOUSE FULL
So, since I have a box full of about 30 old, partially functional mice from back in the days of Windows XP, I decided to hack a few open to see what I could do with them. While my trusty Zelotes T-90 is a nice mouse that I like and will continue to use until it dies, it lacks the versatility afforded by a trackball, i.e. Trackball mice are growing in popularity, but they are still really expensive to buy, especially the ones that incorporate all the features of a normal mouse.
USB OVERDRIVE FORGETS MOUSE DRIVERS
Third party drivers may be available from other vendors.Hello everyone! Today we will be building a Green DIY Trackball mouse from old junk we have lying around. Fixed button functions without a driver.(Evoluent is not affiliated with USB Overdrive.)
USB OVERDRIVE FORGETS MOUSE SOFTWARE
Alternatively, the third party software USB Overdrive may be used to program the buttons on VerticalMouse. We apologize for the delay and will continue to contact Apple for the resource.
USB OVERDRIVE FORGETS MOUSE DRIVER
Therefore our driver development is unable to proceed. We need a driver development kit from Apple but they have not replied to our request even after repeated emails.
USB OVERDRIVE FORGETS MOUSE MAC OS

The driver is optional but highly recommended. Includes Mac driver for configuring the buttons.Includes driver for Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 for configuring the buttons.Compatibility Microsoft Windows® 7 or later
