Arcade Spinner using a Mouse

thingiverse

Human: Parts 1 x Mouse (A Logitech M90 model is used) 1 x Ball bearing 8mm x 12mm x 3.5mm in size 2 x Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons 1 x PG7 cable gland 6 x Screws for box - Self-tapping, 15mm long with a diameter of 3.5mm 2 x Small screws to attach mouse Other: blue masking tape, small washer and wire The bottom part of the box contains stands that support a Logitech M90 mouse. Adapt these or improvise to support a different mouse. The ball bearing should snap into place in the lid of the box. Push the spinner top into the ball bearing until there is about 3mm of clearance between the top of the lid and the bottom of the spinner handle. Apply a tiny bit of super glue to the bottom part of the shaft where it meets the inner part of the ball bearing. To position the bottom part of the spinner, I glued a tiny washer onto the mouse and slightly positioned the bottom spinner piece into the shaft of the top spinner piece. Let it slide into the correct depth as I positioned the lid on the box. Using blue masking tape improved the mouse's ability to detect movements. A few coins were glued onto the spinner bottom to add some weight.
