Step 7Assembly
Mouse and switches are attached from beneath using sheet metal screws. The switches are mounted such that when the foot is slid forward, the toe will pass over the switch's body before hitting the roller. Wires from mouse switch solder pads are soldered to the common and normally-open terminals of the foot click switches. The two wires from the mouse's original left-click switch go to the foot left-click roller lever switch, right goes to right.
My foot board sits higher than it needs to, but I could not resist these white metal door stops for legs. Prying off the rubber tip reveals a screwdriver slot that aids in installation. I pre-drilled holes in the underside of the board, without going through, partially screwed a doorstop into each hole to create threads, then backed it out. I then ground the tip off the auger of each doorstop so they would not go through the foot board, then screwed them snugly into place.

Now I can pick my guitar while I daytrade. Thanks! Anyone seen a version where the good foot rocks forward/back for up/back motion, then swivels clockwise/counterclockwise for Right/Left, and the off foot uses push buttons for mouse buttons?
