Check out the moddo mouse if you want a wireless, modular, open source gaming mouse, so long as you're either comfortable with ultra lightweight fingertip style shells or 3D printing your own
I also have a ploopy mouse but I really dislike the scroll wheel design. I need to fix that somehow
Goddamn I hate the internet sometimes. Why have I only heard of the Moddo Mouse now despite several searches the past 2 years!?!? AND IT'S WIRELESS!?!?
(Edit: Ah, missed the part where you said this just released)
Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing that. Definitely going to be eyeing this for a new mouse.
Also, do you know if the PCB supports more than 2 side buttons? I've been deperately looking for an option with 4+ side buttons
Hey, no problem.
Yes - the depicted side buttons channel into just one of the rear-side pinouts, and even then I think each side can support many more than just two inputs. I believe there are a few examples on the site and repository, but those resources still need to be built out some more.
I'd recommend reaching out to the designer directly. He's pretty active in his discord server, though if you'd prefer not to use discord I'd be happy to ask on your behalf if you have a concise idea of what you'd like to do.
Seems very new given the unfinished wiki but Iโm interested. Iโm a bit of a weirdo and want like 9 side buttons (Minecraft lmao) so id probably need to mod heavily. Either way, this seems like roughly what i want. Thanks for sharing :333
That's not weird at all ๐ and yeah it only started shipping a couple months ago.
You should be able to achieve any number of input combinations with the breakout boards. The designer sent me loads of extras and I should really put them to use ๐
Hell, I'm planning on using the same base board to make a wireless macro pad later on. Unfortunately the community is on discord but you can hop in and see what other people have been making.
