In a Logitech Superlight's world, this goes completely against the grain. r/MouseReview would cry with the thought of lifting a mouse that weighs more than 75g, but that's because they're weak AF. That said, why stop at Paint? This needs to be showcased in a quick aim lab session!
@@velazquezarmouries for some things, it might feel better, but if you had to use a heavy mouse to play games that require quick “flick” movements it would be rather difficult.
@@dakel20 Same, but ergonomically speaking, heavy mouses are slightly worse for you, but the weight is less important than the shape of the mouse, so if the mouse is heavier but more comfortable to hold, than that's most likely better than a light mouse with worse shape. If it weren't because I lack the time (and the know-how, and the money), I'd love to try and mod a mouse and keyboard, in such a way that it'd fit as well as possible to my hands, but for now, I can live with a basic MK and a cheapo gaming mouse I bought like 8 years ago (which has definitely become smaller than ideal for my hand size) and still works
When electronics are involved, you should probably use wood internal components or add some insolation to prevent short circuits. But this is really cool, love to see more modern tech remade like this. For ergonomics sake you could make it mainly with wood and add thin brass plates for aesthetics.
The PCB is clearly well secured away from the metal and it's only 5V anyway. The worst that can happen is he breaks the mouse electronics (USB ports generally have short circuit protection).
Uri, “I made a solid brass engraved mouse”! Everyone, “ Of course you did”! We’re the stupid ones for not guessing! Great work, best UA-camr of all time.
And just like that "Tuchman Punk", a new evolution of Steam punk, is delivered to the world all shiny and made of brass. Nice one Uri.. how many hours does one of these take to make I wonder?..
@@urituchmanpigeon The engraving is beautiful. For something to fit my hand, I do find the overall design to be too angular. A wooden mouse would have the advantage of more electrical isolation for the delicate circuits inside. Brass scrollwork inlay into a contrasting, dark walnut would be pretty awesome. You could shape the wood with more curves to better fit a hand.
Uri's videos are always a joy. Art craft and wit all in one absurdist package. I was having a pretty good day anyway, but it just got significantly better because of one lovely, talented man in Berlin who I have never met.
"its kinda unergonomic and heavy... which makes it terrible... "... that sums up what i was thinking during the whole video... but im sure glad you did it! You are a gift to humanity. Never change 😆😂
I have noticed the high number of trained, professional craftspeople who seem to enjoy Uri's work. (I'm a saddler myself.) I don't know why that should be. Perhaps the simple joy of making something for it's own sake resonates for folk who have made things by hand all their lives, dedicated their lives to a craft, and have perhaps (just occasionally) dreaded Monday morning coming around yet again.

@@Seelenschmiede What I like is the fact that he makes his own tooling and machines and thats a true sign of an engineer and craftsman. That is the only way that a skill is truly developed from the very basics ending up as Master.

Mouse manufacturers in 2007: Gives additional weights to mouse for custom weighty heft. Mouse manufacturers now: Zero gravity mouse for weaklings of all kinds! Uri: Hold my beer
Been subscribed for a while now. You should have way more subscribers based upon the talent you show Uri. And the crazy ingenuity. And oh yeah, everyone needs a mouse solid enough to be used as a medieval flail in case of an emergency, lol.
A. we need the full cover of this song B. I cannot nail down what it is a cover *of.* I know I have heard it before, and I know I know the song, but my brain just cannot pin it down. Now I have to go listen to my entire classic rock collection to find it.
Wow this looks incredible! Though I can't help agreeing that this would get a touch uncomfortable in practice... A trackball, on the other hand, can benefit from a bit of weight to keep it stable on the desk. I can't help but imagine an engraved-brass version of the Ploopy Classic open-source trackball
Oh god yes this looks like it would be a nightmare to actually use for any extended period of time nothing but flat and angles. Looks really good but yeah a trackball style would be much easier to get looking like this without making you want to throw it though a window after half hour of use.
You are truly an artisan, and everything you make is phenomenal. Although I know I could never attempt anything on these levels, I would very much like to know how long these projects take from start to finish. Your projects are more than exceptional. Just a rough idea would help me try to wrap my head around what you do.
Tipp für Rändel: Soweit ich mich aus meiner Ausbildung erinnere, fertigt man Rändel ohne Öl, damit die Späne aus dem Rändelrad herausfallen, und man macht das mit sehr langsamer Drehzahl. Tip for knurls: As far as I remember from my metal worker's training, you manufacture knurls without oil, so the chippings fall out of the knurl wheels. And you do it with very slow turning speed.
Uri has made a computer mouse as strange and beautiful as Habsburg Emperor Charles V 's wheel-lock pistols. But even Charles V's pistols were not SQUARE! These seem more suited to a museum.
love your work, you are much more of a craftsman than I will ever be, but I used work on scientific instruments, and a little tweek on the counter-sinking gets all the screw heads lined up, finishing touch
Clicked onto this new installment so fast! I think the mouse turned out perfect. Maybe design a case for your or station for your laptop along the same lines? Well done!
As impressive and satisfying to watch you create/craft as usual. I was thinking it had been a while since we last seen from you... and there pops the long awaited notification. You are an inspiration.
Afaik that sorta works at first, but after a while the oil buildup cancels it out to create a film, and its kinda just like any other surface in terms of sanitary properties.
Beautiful work as always! Two issues: 1) it’s massively overbuilt with 6 mm brass sides. Will survive a nuclear holocaust. 2) it seems…practical? Keep it up; always a good day when you post a new video!
You really should rethink your wording. Edit: Okay, I've googled, and apparently in the USA the word is still commonly used for its original meaning, for me (German mother tongue) it still sounds very inappropriate :D
This is so cool. What a great idea for a project too. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and projects. Your channel has been one of my favorites for a long time now. I really enjoy watching you do your engraving.
@@urituchmanpigeon Same issue for me. I can swing a 3lb sledge all day with my right arm. My left arm not so much; because I'm not as accurate with it, I don't like using my left arm. So my arms are a touch unbalanced currently. Need to find some exercises for my left that'll keep 'em balanced.
That is definitely a good looking mouse & I would like to have one even if it isn't a very practical mouse. You should try making another one that is shaped better & as light as possible. Consider making it out of some nice wood that you hallow out & inland metal scroll work into. That would allow you to make it more ergonomicall and lighter weight while keeping it your style.
you can buy Teflon mouse slides that will let even a heavy mouse glide around the table top . there fairly cheap and are self adhesive so just peel the cover and stick them were you want under the mouse . I love a heavy mouse so there a fair bit handy to have around.

Engraving a keyboard to this would be a challenge, but they'd gorgeous together. Awesome piece of work!
yes.
I'm pretty sure I've seen engraved MKs cases, and they definitely were hella nice
An engrav3d keyboard would be siiiick. And maybe also a bit more functional. Haha
Oh my yes!
Making a fully functional typewriter keyboard would be powerful
Being so heavy, maybe this is a rat? I've heard wireless mice being referred to as hamsters, as they have no tails. Great work, as always.
😂
It's heavy, made of metal, and looks as if it stand up to a tank shell, so maybe "Maus" would be a more appropriate name for it.
@@skullemoji5603 Few people know that one. So... the complete brass keyboard will be the "Ratte"?
thats so cute from now on im gonna call wireless mice as hamsters too hahaha

@@urituchmanpigeon there are brass keyboard cases already on the market for custom mechanical keyboards also.
Can we just appreciate that amazing background music and that beautifully unnecessary engraving we all know and love?
I do been looking around to see if he had a soundtrack lol
....Im definitely curious to see what an engraved keyboard would look like now....you know....for science
Just when I was thinking "time for more tuchman"....you psychic noodle you!
I love that the song evolved as the project did. I have been Uri ear-wormed big time!
Some seriously solid woodblock action in the background music
Strangely I was quite taken with (supposedly) your musical talents. Problem is, it’s now stuck in my head!!
Incredible work. They make ceramic sliders for mice. It might be worth putting some on that.
Yes, something to take it from a flat thing sliding to a few points sliding

The entire video I'm screaming this in my head.
Mmm, walnut and brass.
Maybe rubber washers on all contacts with the circuit might help?
@@knova7597 I do hope that your comment is satire
The PCB is clearly well secured away from the metal and it's only 5V anyway. The worst that can happen is he breaks the mouse electronics (USB ports generally have short circuit protection).

Quite a while, the engraving alone took about five days to make.

I was thinking it had been a while since we last seen from you... and there pops the long awaited notification.
You are an inspiration.
Brass, being a natural sanitizing agent, actually makes a lot of sense for frequently touched surfaces, like mice and keyboards.
IIRC, it's the copper in it. Literally oxidizes microbes to death.
Afaik that sorta works at first, but after a while the oil buildup cancels it out to create a film, and its kinda just like any other surface in terms of sanitary properties.
You are a god. Even in time-lapse, all of that engraving looked agonizing. 😬 Beautiful work!
You're a True Craftsman. Blending art and mechanical skills.
You’re absolutely made!! And I’m all for it! So stoked to have stumbled upon your channel.
This is a bit unergonomic but i'd unironically go for a hardwood mouse. Much nicer to hold for hours at a time than plastic.
It is not a bit but totally and absolutely unergonomic.
Classic Uri. Wonderful to watch, funny self deprecating comments and fantastic craftsman skills on show. A pleasure to watch once again.
The lightest gaming mouse ever! 🐭
Thank you so much Uri. I always like watching you engrave. Great job Uri. Love to see more engravings

As always, absolute masterpiece! Btw, can i ask you about how long it actually took to make it a thing?
Man, I love that slow jazz in the background. But watch out, if you use that mouse too much, you might get jazz hands.
But seriously, amazing work.
How about a trackball instead of a mouse? The weight would not be an issue...
Fantastic project done with such finesse. Can’t wait for the keyboard of your dreams!!
