Excellent! I’ve made a very similar mod in 2006 using a Mighty mouse base (so that you get a nice scroll ball + right click).

@macospat: Since the guts are from a more recent mouse, it would work under an OS with USB support. The mouse did have two buttons and a scroll wheel, so it could be done, however some physical modifications would be required to click the second button. I was going for a “stock” look and feel here, so I didn’t go that far :-)

Would it work with windows 98, vista, or xp? or just mac. because it only has one button, or could you make 2

I just made one of these… Mine doesn’t look as neat and tidy as that one.. I had to use glue instead of the screws… it’s a lot of fun though..,. right now, I’m working on a apple classic keyboard conversion to USB… I’ll let you all know when it’s done!

Would you send the dimensions of the mouse? I need to do a mock up for a project and cannot locate…
