I can see how it might fit special tasks and use cases, but it looks entirely un-ergonomic to me. It looks like you have small hands as well, I've never been able to palm any mouse.. I used the same mouse as you until for a bit as well. Still, I hope somebody else can duplicate it and finds it to be as amazing as you. Nice job.
amazing work, I wish i was able to do the things that you did.
It's an interesting design. But this is a classic case of designing a thing in a vacuum. A.k.a trying to solve the wrong problem. You have a very rare type of grip 1-3-1. With 3 finger n top of the mouse. Very little people have it, so no mouse manufacturer design it's devices for such a grip. So instead of reinventing the mouse, you'll be much better off by adopting one of the more common and functional mouse grips. And also switching to the gaming mouse. There is no way that any type of joystick no matter how large & precise can come close to smoothness & speed of actual mouse. You likely had a very bad office sensor with low DPI together with rare and broken 1-3-1 grip. It's kind of funny really. There is also a video where a man goes a long way to make a mouse with complete 3d adjustable moving buttons & shells, just to try to fix his unfixable on modern 2 top button style mouse 1-3-1 grip.
Great job
Awesome project, pal! I had to comment that I love this kind of projects, you really went deep into rabbit's hole just trying to create a mouse but ended with something entirely different, much cooler, yet functional as a mouse.
Wow.. I love the idea.. but is it Left hand compatible? Also my mother has Arthritis, we both are using trackball, have you thought about adding trackball as well together with stick?
The answer to 90 percent of questions that start with why usually ends in “ because it makes someone money” so why do any average mouse you could get wear out so easily?
Nice video 👍
Hi I have a space mouse I want to custom the original 2 button Would t be possible to change the button to be left and right click?
I ilke it!
excellent instructions. Beautifully designed for the convenience of working on a computer))
Thank you very much! I'm glad you found the instructions helpful. I always strive to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible 😊.
great and thanks for measuring. could heat transfer and heat exchanger efficiency be increased by placing stainless steel wool in the warm air ducts? stainless steel wool because it gets along with all metals without corrosion.
Good instruction dude
В маркетинге рекомендую сделать акцент на работу с дивана. Такая мышь может удобно назмещаться на подлокотнике кресла или дивана и не требует стола.
1:08 10 - 30million clicks?! thats an absurd range...what if someone gets twelve or twenty clicks in and the thing stops working ...where some people can get to 25 million? (yes that was a joke.)
Excuse me but what in the 7 layers of hell is that grip lol. Middle finger on LMB??? pinky on RMB>? what??
mouse to controller software has existed for 40 years. not sure what you think you've made here, but its not a mouse.
the steam deck mouse is better
honestly, i think this would only work for people who design things for a living to save their wrists, as you have mentioned in this video. I was really stand off-ish at the beginning because this concept looks extremely weird, but there are some things i like. I have larger than average hands, so i believe that the general layout you had would work for me, but I do not design for a living. I mostly play games, so putting that into perspective, this becomes a much harder sell. There are still things I like about it like the scroll switch and the volume nob. Both are very intuitive for where your hand should relativeley be. Another thing that I like but I think should change is the location of the left and right buttons. They should be pushed further up rather than in your palm to make it much easer to use compared to having to break you hand placement and hit them. Obviously I am biased with my previously mentiomned larger hands, but I tend to like the palm grip mixed with the claw. Makes it much more comfortable while being extremely useful on a regular mouse. You have made something that is both very intriguing to me but also very baffling. The innovativeness is absolutely master class, but the end result seems to be a little lack luster. I must say again, what you have made is incredibly cool, and just gets my gears turning for how I could make it fit my needs, but I am in no place to make right now, so I have to go off of what you have made. Your design elements for the wrist rest are also master class. I personally haven't seen one with a spring before and it just seems like the right call for those who use a wrist rest or who need one. I want one for my keyboard so I dont kill my wrists with hoow high my hands angle. It honestly becomes very fatiguing whenever I type, but your wrist wrest is something I will make at somepoint for myself. Something Else I believe you should do is not label this as a mouse. In all intents and purposes, it functions like one. But when you say mouse, people do not envision what you have made. I would say this is closer to being a controller for people who, like I have said before, make designs or 3d models for a living. Something I do believe this would be good for is for amputees, or people who have been born with one arm. This would give them a lot more control over a regular mouse because not only could they customize it for themselves, they could add on other attachments like a keyboard that goes on the left or right side so they could type more easily instead of breaking their hand positioning to go the other direction. There are some other things I would like to add but can't because I do not know how to put them to words. Genuinely an incredible invention. I may not like it, but I am glad that you have made it at least.
joystick scroll wheel gang rise up!
you could have used hall effect joysticks, the deadzone wouldn't be a problem
I don't know if I wnant to use a joystick as mouse i can use a gamepad and steaminput
Did you tryied to change batteries is this mouses?
Seems like the red IBM Thinkpad "Track Point" nub, broken out into it's own device? Not sure I'd call it a mouse in the traditional sense. Joystick really. I like the seperate joystick for smooth scrolling, though you can achieve that with regular mice by clicking the scroll wheel to enter continuous scroll mode. With no palm rest I'd be quite worried about RSI or carpel tunnel syndrome with longer term use.
thats cool for office or design but worth less than a trackball for gaming
I appreciate the work but I really think you're using a mouse wrong??
Very impressive!
Nice idea. Though you are slower than a regular mouse.
Bro, I’m so done with Logitech peripherals. They always break. I had that same MX mouse break on me.
You didn't make a mouse. You started to make a mouse, then made an atari controller, now its just a one handed controller. A mouse moves.
You can handle with wobbling both programmatically and mechanically. The frequency is constant and depends on the build.
Ok this is pretty cool haven’t tried anything like it before The main thing that jumped out to me was the scroll wheel it’s made me realise how inconvenient conventional wheels are for most applications so I’m wondering how does a lever system work for games with hotbars where you scroll through them because if that works it could be a great alternative to scroll wheels on traditional mouses I’ve been thinking about making my own mouse for years now that would be perfect for my needs so this has given me some ideas Also you’ve got a great voice please use it in your next video instead of ai
So its trackpoint but with additional button? So i will stick with my thinkpad keyboard
Nice. I'm trying to get a mouse that can do everything for gaming. It would need probably a joystick for movement and 8-12 buttons for inputs, an alt mode so those 8-12 can double up. I played a lot of MMOs and relied heavily on the mouse for inputs but not movement. I have since lost my hand and now I have to relearn everything. This is inspirational for that. so thx.
The inline fan was probably loud because it didn’t have the ducting. They are designed for the back pressure and get way quieter when ducted
creativity is why i love being here....well done
That's the point ! I want a mouse that's comfortable, not a joystick that's comfortable.
An optical sensor for the joystick would be the most precise method, but hall effect is pretty good for the price. 3D connexion is an example of an optical joystick. Alternative route for precision are "stylus mouse": a hybrid between a mouse and a tablet pen. Basically a mouse that you hold like a pen. It is very precise and allows drawing without a dedicated tablet, but there is no space for many buttons.
Get a vertical mouse
I think the ideal mouse would be a cross between a regular mouse and a trackball. It's possible that you could configure it as a controller. Assign the ball or mouse to moment and the opposite to aim. This might help with one-handed gaming. You know, priorities.
Moving the joystick to the left so I dont have to move my finger over to the middle would be nice.
This is just objectively not a mouse. i can use my mouse for work AND gaming, i dont think im managing any cool clips with this bad boy lmaoo. cool build tho!
For me, I think replacing the scroll wheel with a 1D joystick is just brilliant!
What do you do with a mouse that they're breaking this often? I've had the same mouse at work for 12 years. All i do is click and move things, design work, or sending work off to various machines. I click more than i type. At home as well same one for at least 5 years now. Boggles my mind to be replacing them this often.
The issue lies with a specific manufacturing flaw in Logitech's premium series mice. It's not about how they're used but rather how they're made. Many discussions on forums and subreddits detail this problem. The microswitches in these mice are often subjected to higher current than intended, leading to contact degradation and eventual failure. It's a design oversight rather than a usage issue.
@DIY_Yarik interesting, I guess I only bought the cheap Logitech then. But they're all Logitech. Go figure. That's good to know if/when one of these break.
amazing work & nice design.
Can you provide the CAD file in a more standard format like STP / STEP, I'm not able to import/convert the Compas 3D format
2D spacemouse
I edit constantly and need to wear braces to sleep. I think any controllers besides the original mouse is good to switch it up so your hands don’t get wrecked.
I still feel like it's all spaced a bit too far, especially the lever that you used to zoom in. Notice how you really have to stretch your finger and move your palm forward a bit to reach it. Having it way closer to the stick, maybe even right next to it, would probably be way more convenient and ergonomic. Same goes probably for the wheel on the other end.
Oh man this controller is cool but this AI voice over doesn't hit the intonation at all.
