Here is a list of materials
you will need to do the mod. However, what I have here may differ
from you, based on the design of the mod, and the mouse itself.
|
|
The Mouse
itself, with a detachable top (I think just about every mouse
has a screw or two you can take off to reveal the inside |
|
A Drill
or some sort, to help cutting the holes in the mouse. I found
an X-acto knife will work also when there is no drill available,
but time wise, a drill is much easier, and makes a much better
circle. (I would like to thank Lance Wilson for letting me
use his drill.) |
|
Drill
Bits. It’s best to have them vary in size so you can
drill holes of different sizes. For my mod, I used one of
the smallest bits |
|
Vinyl
Dye Spray Paint, found at your local AutoZone or any automotive
parts store. |
|
Also,
a screwdriver is needed to open your mouse. I assume everyone
knows what a screwdriver looks like, so I will not take a
picture of one. |
|
A glass
rod for making cool light effects, found at Home Depot. |
|
| I also bought a yellow
LED to add to the mouse because I wanted it to give out different
colors when I’m done. RadioShack offers these for less than
3 dollars each. When painting or drilling, an old piece of wood
or platform may be helpful so you don’t drill or paint marks
on the floor or table.
That’s all the supplies you need! For me, this all added
up to about less than 10 dollars US. The Paint was 4.49, and the
rods are about a dollar per foot, and LED are about 2-3 dollars
each, but I already had some laying around the house. Now we have
supplies out of the way, let’s get ready to cut the mouse!
