Mechanical mouse pinout?
Trimoor:
Can anyone give me the pinout for the serial version of the micro$oft mechanical mice?
I accidentally hacked my cord into a video cable.
Both ends should have a 9-pin connector-- one serial plug, and one pcb header.
Anyone who can provide me with a pinout will hold a special place in my heart--for about 2 seconds.
Thanks!

How's this one?
If that's not good enough, Google is your friend.

*sigh*
Yes, obviously I can easily find the pinout of a serial cable, but that's not what I'm lookning for.
Nearly every mouse has a seperate pcb header plug on it.
This is the pinout I need.
I know what the serial port pins are because it is standardized.
But that still doesn't tell me where they connect to on the mouse board.

Are you looking for the IC pinout???
Do a google search, and you'll find it!! it worked for me, I used it to hack mine.
ohh, btw If you're using serial remember that to get 5v+ you need to combine three cables..... to get 5v. I think

No, I'm looking for the pinout of the header at the other end of the serial cable.
