that switch is a rapid fire ignition switch?

[Ainshtain]

no ...it is a switch for the right click ...to keep it pressed

great instructable i did this and had sooooooooo much fun cutting holes in my mouse that it looks like swiss cheese now it is awesome and the blue is cool!

[HardCoreHacker]

Blue Cheese!!

[matstermind]

moldy cheese

[SmAsH!]

Nob cheese?
Just thought i'd add my two cents...

[DeLorean4905]

cool i have that same exact rotary.

[Hycro]

It's about time I see someone else who actually calls it rotary instead of Dremel, because there are rotary tool brands out there other than Dremel, it's like calling a PS2 or PS3 a Sony, or calling a Wii a Nintendo...I always find it annoying when someone calls a game system, or a tool by a brand name, whether it's made by that brand or not. This is looking to be an interesting instructable though.

[ajmontag]

Thanks for the idea! Im going to try this on one of my i-rocks superman mice i got free after MIRs from that other online retailer, ClubIT, Newegg is WAY better. I have extra leds and resistors from doing a window mod too! thanks bro!

[Alexizupinhea]

i got that same mouse, but when I applied for the rebate, I accidently applied under the wrong color, thus I didn't get it. I also bought all 3 different colors of their keyboards, (supposedly each color was a different form and different offer number), yet I only received a rebate for the first one I bought. Anyway, I may use that mouse as well, I just gotta practice some engraving first lol

[Alexizupinhea]

oops, I forgot to say, great instructable! I can't believe I never thought of making a window for my mouse. Mabye i'll make a window for my keyboard and light it up w/ a logo in the top left/right corner. If I do, i'll either post a pic here, or possibly another instructable and will give u credit for the inspiration lol.

[Corpy]

But what is this?? :D

[Ainshtain]

there is a capacitor near the mouse input cables ...from there I got the power +5vcc and and

[mitchell931993]

It would probs look better without the logo(no offence to metalica) and you spelt it "wepons". its weapons. and how'd u make the perspects flush with the mouse, and is the perspects concaved to match the old shape.

[Rockerx]

that desk looks exactly like mine....lots of stuff

[Ainshtain]

:) yes i can see the resemblance in one of your instructables, now it is a lot clean era because of the winter holydays coming up and because I hurt my hands in some acid and I can not work until they are cured …oh well maybe next year I’ll put some new stuff….maybe a preamp:D

[James (pseudo-geek)]

then how can you type.

[Ainshtain]

long nails ;)) ...the keyboard so free of "not so useful" stuff

[James (pseudo-geek)]

lol. what happened with the acid btw?

[Ainshtain]

it made my hands all blistary and when I try to touch something my skin would brake apart, it did not hurt but the sensation of skin falling of ....i do not wish anyone to experience it, i got it from a old solution of FeCl3 ...and some soldering paste

[Grmgunner]

That Feric Chloride is some bad stuff dude. Latex or Nitril gloves dude they're cheap USE EM!! lol

[Yerboogieman]

is it smooth? you can use a hot glue gun and an x-acto knife to cut off the excess

[Xellers]

Please be sightly clearer in your instructions, I have a hard time reading your abbreviated slang script. Thanks.

[Ainshtain]

exactly on what instructions ...of what?

[Xellers]

I couldn't understand most of the explanations in this instructable. I got confused by all of your short, misspelled words. Please update. TY

[buterSBob29]

NICE! I love metallica

[Ainshtain]

SO DO I...SO DO I :D

[Yerboogieman]

my desk used to look like that, then i bought a project box

This was updated 08.08.02. Its a bit different but I still like them both.

[Ainshtain]

yes ...that was my inspiratin :P

[stranoster]

Make sure you always say where you found your inspiration to share it with others. Also try to remember to spell check. Other than that this is a GREAT take on Metku's version, especially as I cannot buy acrylic where I live!

[!Andrew_Modder!]

what is the (do not ask what this is?)

[Ainshtain]

read the comments below ..

[bleachworthy]

1. Are you an FPS'er, and if the answer to 1 is yes, then 2. is that extra button a quickfire mod?

[Ainshtain]

I loved MU-Online and that buton is a on off buton for the right click that enabled the character to do magic ...and in that way i was staying in bed adn the character was lvl-ing up ;)

[bleachworthy]
