Maybe not the most practical mod ever but most importantly, it works. http://www.metku.net/index.html?sect=view&n=1&path=mods/breezepad/index_eng
Bard, yes, we talked about it and then I suggested this design. It took only 10 minutes after that when I started to cut the acrylic.
Heh, nice mod! In this picture the mousing area looks very small though - just the raised bit in the centre?
It is just the center piece being lit. Whole of the top layer is usable for mousing around like usual.
Nice! But I think my way is easier I hooked an 80mm fan up to two 9v batteries and sat it so it blows on my hand Nowhere near as sexy but it works! Edit: btw, the fan used to be running on 24v (for several months, I think they used to build fans stronger than they do now )
I've got 2 huge biscuit fans blowing across my keyboard at the mo too cool my hands But thats a damn nice mod you got there
japala another awsome new mod. It also looks like a killer mouse pad. The fans mabye could use some LEDs I have done several mods from you site, even before I was on bit-tech, I love it This mod did give me an idea though. Why not make a hovermouse! Either have a fan in the mouse (Like in your other mouse/fan mod) Or a fan in the bottom of the mouse pad (Like an air hockey table) You then have a very low friction mouse! (The mouse may need some skirting or something to trap the air)
You'd need a lot of pressure though to make a mouse like that. You've not only got the mouse, but the weight of the hand as well. I remember having a discussion about this a while back on another forum. It could probably be done, with some effort.
Yes, I have thought about this too and it could be quite hard to get it work properly. Another approach could by utilizing magnets but we all know how well crt tubes and magnets mix. Anyway, one could make a pad out of magnetic material and then have magnets with opposite poles inside the mouse facing the pad -> instant levitation.
thats actaully a really sweet looking pad, might have to make one, just sans cooling (cause im hardcore ) does it work with optical mice?
Propably yes so one could use for example low side walls and a piece of rubber band at the front of the mouse to keep the mouse from dropping off. Another approach could be that you make the pad a bit larger than the magnetic area is so that when the mouse tries to leave that magnetic area it will just lean to that non magnetic part of the pad and not drop from the pad...
