G27 - Kinda desperate here

[VillagePeople-YMCA]

Hi!

This is my first post here. I stumbled on this forum after searching for the board I'm having problems with and found this topic, I so I decided to create an account here since there seems to be so many people who know about this stuff

So, to my problem.

I bought a G27 in 2015 and have been using it since then with no problems. But a week ago the encoder wheel broke, and when this happened a large piece of it got stuck inside the housing, managing to break the

, and when I tried to pull the housing case I broke the pins on the sender :/ Everything was stuck together, unfortunately. I can solder on a regular case, but the problem is that it literally ripped the pins from the receiver, there's nothing I can do to save them.

I have zero money to buy replacement parts, and since I live in "the woods" it would cost me too much to order them from the big cities nearby (120 Km).

So I'm here asking: can I build a replacement board at all? I noticed my Logitech MX310 has a similar concept (optical sensor), I was thinking I could build a similar board with the same functionality but made from a scrap mouse board.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers.

So I've looked into the board itself and decided to copy it's layout. It should be pretty easy to build, all I need now is an old ball mouse to use it's 3-pin infrared led and 4-pin receiver.

To make sure I got everything right (it's hard to see it), could anyone tell me if the layout bellow makes sense?

The purple part with stripes is the

.
Red lines are the wires which will connect the components.
The brown thing I think is a resistor.
The green thing is a thermistor.

The layout I drew:
