Altoids tin mouse (with fan)

I was looking around at all the instructables for computer mice. i found a lot of altoids tin mice so i decided to make my own version of one. i believe this my own invention (to put a fan in an altoids tin mouse) because i havn't seen any other altoids mice with fans in them, but i know its the first one on this website :) ( i take no responsibility if you get hurt or mess up your computer mice or anything else)

Whats the point of wrecking an ergonomic mouse to sick it into an uncomfortable tin?

ha aha

well actually my first idea was going to put the fan in the actual mouse case but it wouldn't fit. since i didn't have a smaller fan, i decided to just go ahead and make an altoids tin mouse so it will fit.

What's the purpose of the fan - sweaty hand?

yeah, i know a lot of friends who play games a lot online, so they ask me to build these mice for them

Like the things you get at bowling-alleys? It's a new idea to me, so credit to you for realising it into a functional mouse.

Doesn't look very comfortable, but still really cool. I like the idea.
