    Try searching for "MX700" instead of "MX-700". Or did you do that already? :D

    Don't know about anyone else, but I start having problems if the reciever is even slightly hidden. So if you're planning on hiding the reciever anywhere, makesure there's only plastic between you and it...
    As for guides, I don't remember seeing one, but you could try *very* carefully taking it apart and seeing what ideas you get. Be careful though.

    What I was actually thinking of doing was having the receiver use an antenna then have a wire to charge my mouse.

    I'm really bad about putting it in the charger and often put the AA batteries from my Remote Wonder in the mouse and putting the normal rechargables back in when I go to bed.

    What I was thinking of doing was having a two conductor wire reach out to the mouse to charge the batteries I have in there.. but didn't realize the all two obvious problem of the mouse going into "charge mode" when I connected the wires. Heh.


    Comparing my MX700 to the 5.25" bays on my case, looks like an inbuilt charger may be a dual bay solution.... Or it will use 2 3.5" bays juuuust right.


    Maybe someone good with bondo or fiberglass could smoother the charger into the front of their case... THAT I would like to see.

    My receiver used to have a few problems, but since replacing the batteries in my keyboard, it is fine.

    I think I've seen someone put the receiver inside a case before, but it was literally opening the casing and putting it inside a boc that sat in a drive bay.

    Mount the receiver in the case, then mount the charger into your mouse pad like the guy on Hardocp.com and you'll be set. I would provide a link, but their forum is down at the moment.
