The cutest mouse "hack" you ever did see
(1/2) > >>
Generic Eric:
I saw this on ebay and bought it.  I thought it was pretty cool. It doesn't have force feed back though.  Its very simple setup that requires a "ball" mouse to work. 

Here is the box.

Here are the basic components


The table mount bracket.






The steering "column"

Well, I lost the pic, but imagine a piece of 1 inch  pvc pipe about 10 or 12 inches long

The steering wheel


The base




With the "gear box"


All together.



It will also function as a yoke for flight controllers.   About this unit:  The specs of the mount and the part that holds the "steering column" weren't matched well so there is a little more play than I'd like to see.

I thought I would provide this to show that a person can get a working prototype unit for a small investment of random basic components.

Is that a ball mouse or a laser mouse?
