I needed another corded mouse and this time around I thought of @PKL@mastodon.social and @pronk@mastodon.social instead of Logitech’s shareholders. These guys make open source mice among other open source hardware under the brand Ploopy. You can order one from them, assembled or as a kit, or you could print and build it entirely by yourself.

The mouse itself is pretty great. Coming from a long line of Logitech (MX518/G5/G500/G502), it’s a bit larger than what I’m used to but I think I’m getting accustomed to it.

Here’s another shot of it:

    need to take it real old, print it in abs and do a vapor smoothing in acetone.

    You could also print this in a goo printer and not have the issue.

      Interesting. I always wondered if the same rule applied to the ‘goo’ type as my friend has one.
