| Hunk_4TH:
Thanks man! I actually already have that page bookmarked lol. They do help! I also read you can supply the 5v/ground using a Y splitter. I have a multi meter around somewhere. Some guides mentioned removing opto-transistors and IR emitter. Is this really necessary? Or is it just for saving power? |
| pbj:
You remove them to expose solder points and eliminate interference. |
| Hunk_4TH:
I gotcha. About to give it a quick test. |
| Hunk_4TH:
No luck with 5v/ground via the Y splitter. Gonna have to find out where it is on the mouse board I guess. |
| severdhed:
on my mouse hacks, i've never pulled power or ground from the mouse..i've always just taken it directly from the pc power supply (red and black wires) and it has worked well. |
