How to: Make your own Silent Mouse

hacking the mouse
Fed up with the click click sound of your mouse or you have room-mates who hate the sound of the mouse clicks late in the night?

Here is a site that tells you how to silence the mouse - forever! It's a clever hack but it does require a bit electronic surgery on your mouse.

Of course, if you don't want to do the effort, you can look at buying the Thanko Silent Mouse, featured on Geek 24 earlier.

The Silent Mouse: No more Click Click


Thanko
's "Silent mouse" is a regular looking mouse with one silent feature - it makes no sound when you click. The sound proofing is done by using a sound proof shape and silicone in the buttons.

The Silent Mouse is compatible with Windows XP/2000 & Mac OS X and uses USB interface. Great for late night mousing sessions.

Apple Mouse projects a real mouse picture


Heh, this has to be one of the best discoveries out there. It turns out that if you have a Apple Mighty optical mouse, it can project a real mouse hologram on the desk. Try it. Update: We found it does the same on a Apple Wireless mouse as well, though this one looks like a "Mickey Mouse" from some angles.

PS: It seems the  Microsoft optical mouse projects a picture of a devil <just kidding> :)
