Guide, base and dpi adapter for G302/G303 using a G304 or G305 PCB

thingiverse

This guide shows you how to convert a G302 or G303 mouse to wireless using a modified G304 or G305 PCB and an FDM printable base and DPI adapter. Before making any decisions, read through the entire guide carefully. If you're interested in having a physical print made, just send me a message, but keep in mind that I'm located in New Zealand, so shipping costs may vary. Edit: 09/10/2019 - I've removed this project from Etsy and refunded those who purchased it because I've changed my opinion about putting a price on something when I don't fully understand the electronics involved. While I put a lot of work into designing 3D printable parts, I'm now teaching myself about electronics to improve this design. Everything in this guide is based on what I did for the first iteration, and if I can improve the antenna reattachment to get the best radio frequency signal, I'll update the guide and possibly the model. One other thing: I thought the press-fit receptacles were too expensive for me, but it turns out they're also pricey in other parts of the world. I'll update the model to include a solder and hot glue approach, as well as an alternate hot-swap design. I'll try to post an updated guide tonight with changes I'm considering and will make. Edit: 11/10/2019 - The guide has been updated. My free trial of Word expires tomorrow, so if anything needs updating in the future, I'll figure out a solution. Quick edit: When the top shell clicks into place after adding the side panels and buttons, the pretravel on the side buttons will be like those on a stock G303. However, without the top shell, the pretravel on the side buttons is not what you can expect when everything is fully assembled because there's some play in putting it together. Edit: Another way to insert press-fit receptacles is by heating them up with a soldering iron and pushing them in like this https://i.imgur.com/cka0r4A.mp4.
