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)
You may have seen the other reply, but the screws are probably under the little pads under the mouse. You peel them off and then glue them back after.
