I spray-painted a cheap mouse that came with my laptop (it looks messy but in a good way?), and the left/right clicks miraculously worked after a bit of work (the left clicks is actually a bit dampened now, making it quieter!)
However, I think the optical sensor is borked. The mouse can click but it can’t move the cursor.
I’m thinking something like a bluetooth motion tracker that moves your cursor could work if I mounted it on the mouse, but does something like that even exist? I searched online and it doesn’t seem to be a thing. Maybe I have to DIY it a bit by buying a bluetooth motion tracker and using a program that makes it so that is moves the cursor?
Hey, I think your mouse looks pretty cool. I love the speckled egg shell look. It looks kind of like a Robin’s Egg. I have some advice for you, if you’re interested. If you’re going to spray paint something like this, you can disassemble it first with a screwdriver. Take it apart and spray the case only. Same thing for keyboards, PCs, and anything else you can take apart fairly easily. Second, when you’re spraying it, suspend it from a string or two, or support it by a single stick from below. Don’t touch it until it’s dry.
As for your current situation, buy a new identical mouse and transfer the working guts from the new one to your customized one.
Yeah, I’ve done that with my PS4 controller as well as a logitech pebble (i don’t really like the yellow of the latter though)
The cheap mouse doesn’t have any visible screws and it wasn’t all that important so I just spray painted the whole thing. Don’t think I can take it apart and I’m not sure what this exact model is (all I know is that it’s from ASUS)
