I just need to know because an ebay auction is about to end. There is a Happ one, too, but it dosen't look as good. --- End quote --- Yes. I have my Imperial hooked up to a hacked mouse. I used Minwah's tutorial. The Imperial is a fantastic 3" TB. -S |

I did a mouse hack some time ago. I decided to clean it up as it was a mess. I think I screwed something up as it now kinda works :) So I figured I'd start from scratch. I think here's what I will do. I will take pics and write out how I am doing my current hack, if it works. And compare it to my old hack. My old hack had the 4 pin IR receivers, the new one will have the 3 pin receivers. I believe the only difference is the 4th pin is a ground or something like that. But same idea for both though when it comes to hacking. I will also explain how to use the datasheet if one is available (most likely one is) and how to do the traces yourself. BTW, the other alternative is buy a prehacked mouse from oscarcontrols, only like $9 if I remember. I get asked how to do a mouse hack often in chat. I'm suprised we don;t have anyhting linked in the interfaces section of the FAQ. |

From what I've read, it seems simple enough. I have a few Intellimice in my closet |
