Here is my third version of the mouse nes

the original nes mouse was made by MrPumpernickel

it is shorter, better design, more ergonomic than my V2 and with logitech electronics

first, cut and keep the necessary elements
that is to say, the d-pad and buttons housing

shortening the chassis 1 cm

remove a bothersome pieces inside, turning with tongs
it is easily

trace the periphery of the base of the mouse
(in my case, I drew the following without the battery door)

cut bottom of gamepad

I use a jigsaw and then gently while going after a lime

use of glue (cyanoacrylate) to hold Elements quickly

in this case, I cut the battery door to fit in the etched

I finished pasting everything with epoxy glue two components (to take longer but very resistant)

I use polycarbonate (Makrolon) to form the outer
it warms in the oven at 160 ° celsius becomes soft enough to take the desired rounded shape
(TAKE GLOVES HIGH TEMPERATURE BECAUSE IT IS VERY HOT!)

pmma not take the smell is strong because it is brittle and

cut a little the upper frame of the gamepad, paste and cut the sides drawn a good shape
positioning the upper heated beforehand and stick with glue some point

trace the location of the button
several drill hole, cut between the hole with a clamp and finish with a lime

for the scrollwheel, it depends on the system in the donor mouse
for my V2 is a mechanical system and my V3 it is an optical system

in any case, I made a frame in which I put a small bearing
I pierce the d-pad to put a threaded rod

the parts are brass for more inertia

I added a piece of Makrolon and a small latch to close the battery door

for buttons, I extend the legs switch and I put the switch in front of the hole and secure with hot glue

Finally, I used mastic, sanding paper, the primer and paint
for color, I made a bit of gray beige to make used gamepad
