Why? Just buy a damn wireless mouse


Cause I want a better shape and better weight.

I can eventually make something like the Zowie mice or the Finalmouse wireless.

There is no wireless mice like those that even remotely close in weight.

So whenever I get the courage, I'm gonna attempt to make a wired mouse wireless. 

Got some plans to take a g305 PCB and mounting it into another mouse and add a rechargable battery. 

Don't you think you will fckk up the weight doing so? You're adding to the pkg.

Pretty day, almost killed the pup biking today.

It's been done. It only goes up to 68g from 58g.

Zowies go down or only add 1-2 g

Got my purple and yellow custom sleeved cables ordered for my LSU build. My mom also has access to a laser engraver/etcher, so I'm going to get this etched into the side panel



Here's the final build list too (add like $50 for the custom purple, yellow and white cables):

Only reason I went with that cooler is because of the flat 120mm cooler mount. The RGB purple or yellow fan should be able to shine through the etching and look good

I'm not saying you can't do it.

I asked if the weight won't bother you? You made such a big deal about the weight but then will add a battery.

Np.

It is a nearly 15% increase. Seems like a noticable change. Why I asked again.

Seems like an easy mid. All these mice are nearly the same and sometimes come out the same factory.

Sounds like a fun thing to do.

It's basically getting the PCB from a g305, getting a 3d print of a g305 mount, sanding down the mounts in the other mouse, gluing and screwing in the PCB, add a recharable battery, and soldering a USB port to the front.

The USB port for charging will be the hardest part.

Unless that current mouse comes with a detachable usb cable?

I want to, but likely not. My dream would be do two loops, one for the CPU and one for the GPU, have one loop be a yellow/gold color and the other loop be purple.

I would then need to get a new case bc the inwin 303c isn't a great case for a custom loop.

Would also have to upgrade my 1650 v2 and mobo to something nicer like an 8700k or 9900k

Waste of time.

Your D5 will be the loudest part of any loop. Why double it? Thermals could also take a hit on the GPU since you will have less surface area for cooling if the loop is divided.

One good loop is more quiet and performs better.

The point isn't about cooling performance, it's about the looks and putting with the theme

My end goal will probably be a 9900k and sli 2080s with a custom loop, but that's not until after all this wedding and honeymoon stuff

Oh ok. Was my next question.

Remember those dual loop T-virus res? Lol

I still love those cheesey things. Purple and Gold would work if the company which made workable non fake ones is still around.

So why do you want SLI? Looks like it only really is worth it for 4k games.

Could be reading this graphics wrong but
2080ti
1080p 15% difference
1440p 28%
4k 55%

Thought you mainly play shooters?

1080Ti SLI differences
1080p 19%
1440p 28%
4k 43%
