The "Computer" Mouse: A DIY Project - YouTube


A mouse with built-in PC looks like this. Raspberry Pi Zero W and 1.5 inch / 16 bit color organic EL display are carried.



Initially it was planned to remodel commercially available mouse, but I could not find a mouse that can hold Raspberry Pi Zero W. So I diverted sensors and boards from wired USB mouse, the outer shell was designed with Fusion 360 and outputted with 3D printer. If you actually align with a commercially available mouse, you can see that PC built-in mouse is one size larger.



Raspbian of the OS will start in about 4 seconds after turning on the switch in front of the right side. Since it has a built-in 500 mAh battery, there is no need to take power from the outside.



A small keyboard is stored on the left side. It seems that this keyboard is diverting Prament Rii i 5 BT of Bluetooth wireless mini keyboard.



The size of the key is considerably smaller than the hand of an adult male, and since the keyboard is oriented perpendicular to the mouse and the monitor, it is tough to actually enter.



Still, I heard that the keyboard input got used to it while I was using it for a while. Electonic Grenade said it is a habit to avoid moving the mouse when keying in.



The mouse can be used not only as a shape but as a pointing device in fact. According to Electonic Grenade, creator, "It is not difficult to follow the screen if you increase the mouse sensitivity," although it seems difficult to operate as the screen moves as you move the mouse.



The following scenes appear to be playing " Minecraft: Pi Edition " pre-installed in Raspbian.



Minecraft uses a keyboard for movement, a mouse is used for viewpoint change and action, so very dexterous operation is required. Also, when actually playing, it seems to freeze occasionally because it consumes a lot of resources. Motherboard of overseas media highly appreciates Electonic Grenade's PC built-in mouse, "It is noteworthy than any notebook PC announced at CES 2019."
