Mini Mechanical Mouse

This is kind of a ridiculous project I've been working on creating a small, basic mouse, using the PCB from a $2.99 thrift store special, Dell optical mouse, and adding a case to utilize mechanical keyboard switches. Honestly, it's just for fun, and is probably more worthy of the r/mousegore thread, that anything else.

I used the guts from a Dell, ‘M-UAN DEL 1’ optical mouse, which actually uses a Logitech board. I've added photos to the file with the part numbers included. I also desoldered the switches, scroll wheel optical sensors, and scroll wheel switch to gain more room for the mechanical keyboard switches. The mounting opening of the 3D printed top, is approximately 14mm X 14mm, so any MX style switch should snap in without too much trouble.

Assembly of the parts is pretty straight forward. The PCB should screw into place on the bottom plate, using the original screws, and the 'lens' is sandwiched inbetween the PCB and the printed base, like with the original mouse. Wire
