UberMouse: Hacking awesomeness in to your USB mouse - Tue, Mar 17, 2009

I decided one day that my USB mouse needed more spunk. I had been finding that I was using a USB wireless card a lot, but it took up a lot of room and was big enough that the adjacent port was covered (unless I used a USB hub). So it occured to me that I could probably cram the HUB and the wireless card inside the mouse and still have enough room for the original mouse guts. Turns out, I was right about this.

I’ve assembled a bit of a photo diary of this project here, click for more..

This video captures it all quite well
