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:

    Or titanium? But that would probably require midifications of the bendy bits to keep them flexible. 😂

      I kinda like the idea of using an anvil to smith a computer mouse, but I don’t have such tools. Perhaps carving the shapes from wood would be easier.
