Homemade vibration function for a computer mouse

Nowadays, many companies produce mice with a recoil function. That is, when you shoot any weapon in the game, the mouse begins to vibrate, simulating recoil. But such mice are expensive, and not everyone can afford such an expensive purchase. You can try to make such a vibration mouse from a regular optical mouse. To do this, you will need a small electric motor with an eccentric on the shaft, about thirty centimeters of wires, a soldering iron and all the accessories for it, not a lot of free time, and of course the most necessary thing - straight hands.


You can get an eccentric motor from an old or unwanted phone. After carefully disassembling the phone, you should find and remove the motor. It usually looks like a small cylinder with a metal piece on its shaft, but it can also look like a pill shaped with wires.


So let's get started. First, we lengthen the too short motor wires - we solder the wires to the required length, this is about eight centimeters.Then, we check the polarity and correctness of the connection. To do this, we connect one wire (but do not solder it yet) to the plus or minus on the cable entering the mouse. And the other to one of the three contacts of the left button switch. By changing the position of the wiring on the contacts and changing the polarity, we ensure that when the button is pressed, the motor begins to vibrate. After this, carefully, so as not to touch adjacent contacts and wires, solder everything into place. The motor should be glued to the body with super glue. Momentary glue cannot be used, since after drying it turns into a rubber-like mass, and the motor will not transmit vibration to the body.


You can go even further and attach a vibration switch, as it can sometimes interfere and become annoying. To do this, take a three-pin switch and connect it to the electrical circuit. Next, you need to cut a hole in the mouse body according to the size of the switch, and insert it there, not forgetting to lubricate it with super glue. That's it, the upgraded mouse is ready, and you can enjoy the games.

    I made one for myself a long time ago, only I built the switch very neatly, and not so vulgarly.

    There was already such a homemade product, only without a switch

    And you would take it and post something new.

    Well, I’ve already seen this, it’s already happened, the switch is in an inconvenient place...
    And if someone doesn’t send new articles, it doesn’t mean that you need to send complete plagiarism (switch happy )

    What other plagiarism? At least go read it and find out what it is and then speak up!

    I read both articles and found the only difference in the writing style. Yes, this article was written by a more educated person, but it’s the same thing, even the names are almost the same. And the first option will have much higher efficiency. And it will really vibrate like a gaming mouse and not like a mobile phone in your pocket

    It’s just not interesting when articles on the site are repeated. And I’ve already posted homemade products.

    um... here's a question: I did everything as the author wrote, checked it on the LED and soldered everything clearly, but the motor does not buzz, I took the motor from my mobile phone. Anyone who knows a solution to the problem please post*

    The idea is awesome, but I'm afraid to do it. I'll break the mouse again...
