Title: 3d printed ergo mouse with board using PMW3360 optical sensor under $10
Post by: iso on Sat, 30 January 2021, 20:46:22
Link to the mouse - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076Y269MG

Took it apart, modelled the hand piece and base, 3d printed everything and soldered the board to diff type switches.
DPI switcher, navigation and "snipe" buttons are all on one 5 way switch.
Custom "rotary encoder" - Is just a round magned and 2 reed switches
Metal bearing ball for the thumb scroll
I can upload the models if I see any interest, although if your hand size is different from mine, there is no point of 3d printing one unless you want to keep it as a semi-functional/dust collecting piece of plastic.

Awesome job. I think this is very cool. I womder what the process was like designing so many special parts for this.

There is one other post where I documented the progress and a log on how the whole thing came to exist, what you looking at is a derivation that I put together so its easy for others to make one without much soldering, firmware flashing and the extra cost.

Lots of modelling (hunderd of hours) printing, trying, re-doing bits until everthing was as I wanted.
