DIY DJ Turntable from old Computer Parts

Step 2 Prepare the mouse

We need free access to the mouse’s rollers (the two axes that are in contact with the ball).

Warning: this will make your mouse unusable.

Take out the ball and open the mouse. Cut all the plastic parts that are higher than the rollers, and optionally cut all the unnecessary plastic from the case around the electronics. If you cut too much, the electronics will not stay in place any more and we don’t want this to happen.

Keep the plastic part where the screw was housed and the mouse wheel for later.

Now you can spin the rollers and press the buttons from the electronic board with your fingers. Make this to assure that the mouse is still functional.

At the end add a double sided adhesive strip to the bottom of the muse so you can stick it in place when you finish the turntable.
