Question: Hacking a 4 button Mouse
(1/2) > >>
D_Harris:
Has anyone here ever hacked a four button mouse?

If so can I get the pros and cons? (USB or PS/2).

I need to make a CP that can be used to play Arkanoid  and Astro Blaster.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

You can do it, but it can be a pain depending on your application.  I used a mouse to set up my dual 360° steering wheels.  This worked fine except that for some reason the mouse that I chose kept turning the scroll wheel too.  The front end I use didn't have an option at the time to fully disable the mouse, so it really messed with things.  After going through a handful of mice (mostly spare or found ones), I finally got one that worked correctly.

I could have just gotten a U-HID or one of the other cheap ones that RandyT or Andy sell and saved myself some time (but not money).  Ahhh, hindsight...
D_Harris:
If anyone has the make and model number any 4 button mouse used in a successful hack, please let me know that info.(I need it for a CP that will have four buttons and one spinner).

Thanks.

I have a few that I hacked and didn't use sitting around here somewhere.  If you want one, PM me.

Well, just the make and model info would be ok. (I need to have "right", "left", "fire" and "warp" on this control panel).

Thanks.
