The cutest mouse "hack" you ever did see
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?
