It's hard to imagine what it would be like working for us personal computer or a tablet without a mouse. Today, over 350 million mice are used in the world, and the magic optical pencil is not the least of them. What now takes a fraction of a second would require a lot of effort and time if we were using only the keyboard. With the growing popularity and introduction of graphical shells, this problem has become especially relevant, but the optical mouse in the form of a pencil offered to you is intended not only for connoisseurs and graphics lovers!

A pen mouse can be a beneficial replacement for a regular one. computer mouse for everyone who wants to achieve easy and delicately precise cursor control. This is perhaps the best optical mouse for drawing fine, elegant lines, sketching and recording observations. It is perfect for handwriting characters and drawings.

Now people in creative professions don’t have to complain about losing inspiration when typing on the keyboard. A lightweight and comfortable mouse for a tablet will be an excellent modern alternative to the quill pen that was used to write down the great lines of classic Russian poetry. The stylus mouse, which is offered to you at the most reasonable price, is also distinguished by its care for its owner.

It’s been a long time since a pencil has undergone such amazing metamorphoses; it probably just turned out to be just as successful.
Give yourself and your friends a wonderful device that can awaken a taste for creativity!

  • I’ve had the idea of ​​drawing on a PC for quite some time now, and dabbling in Photoshop and illustrator.
  • Yes, there are tablets for this, but I think buying, ala, “try and forget” is an inappropriate solution))

Therefore, it was decided to make from what was at hand...What do we have? That's right - mouse)

We also have a marker that you can try stuffing her insides into.

  • As it turned out, not everything is so simple, There are usually more parts in mice than fit into a marker.
  • However, if you look, then you can find a SINGLE-CHIP mouse, inside the kit - 2 electrolytes of 47 uF/10V (one on the power supply, and the second on the button) + a 100nF ceramic capacitor.
  • It connects directly from the PC, all buttons also go directly.
  • This chip already contains a sensor + controller.
  • Size – DIP chip.

1) How does the mouse work?

This is a CAMERA that “photographs” the surface. The information enters the chip, it compares this “snapshot” with the previous one and determines the movement.

  • She's just taking off high speed.
  • In order for the “camera” to see what it is filming, it is illuminated by an LED (usually red), you CAN install any one (of a different color/size). And power it from anything.
  • Light-emitting diode not synchronized, and the change in brightness is done to save energy, protect the matrix (camera) and aesthetics.
  • Important point– optics. The meaning is simple - you need the “picture” of the surface to be sharp (otherwise there is no comparison), in general, just like in your favorite soap dish.

2) What do we need in order to repeat?

  1. Mouse with one chip(Which one is above). Price – 3 dollars. From it we will take a chip, a body kit and a lens.
  2. Marker (also above). It's for 50 cents))
  3. Hot melt adhesive.
  4. LED 3mm (any color)
  5. The button is not fixed (there is a photo below). It will be analogous to the left mouse button.
  6. Something for decoration (a pen for design should have a design;))

3) Let's get started:

  • Disassemble the mouse (you can even break the case, we don’t need it). Suitable for us like this, it's cheap and single-chip!

  • Draw the pinout of the microcircuit ( the picture below is an example). The pinout can be copied from the board.

  • Cut off the unnecessary part of the optics and glue the remaining part to the sensor with hot glue:

  • Disassemble the marker. We don't need the upper part.
  • Make a hole for the button

  • Pull the wire through the marker.

You can take the following buttons, for example:

  • Using overhead soldering, assemble the MK + wires + for the button + attachment. Should fit in the marker.
  • Fill with hot glue (it’s better to check how it works first)

You'll get something like this)) No drivers are needed, the mouse is still:

It should be noted that using a mouse in many programs is not necessary, since you can often remember keyboard shortcuts to call many functions (remember the famous ctrl+c, ctrl+v). Using so-called hot keys is convenient, but some functions will be very inconvenient to use. However, you can buy not a mouse, but devices that can successfully replace it. First of all, you can recall the following input means options:

The trackball is a ball on a stand that you spin to move the pointer on the screen. Anyone familiar with a mechanical (ball) mouse easily associates a trackball with a ball mouse turned upside down. The trackball works exactly on the same principle as a mechanical mouse and its control does not require adaptation or special training.

Graphics tablet made for typing graphic information, used by artists and designers in graphic editors. But you can use such a tablet instead of a regular mouse. The graphics tablet consists of a tablet that is sensitive to the touch of a special pen (looks like a thick ballpoint pen). Using such a tablet is quite convenient in ordinary programs where we usually use a mouse.

Touchpad ( Touchpad) is very familiar to computer owners. Today you can buy a touchpad that connects via USB to any computer. The most convenient option is a touchpad built into a wireless keyboard. With such a keyboard it is very comfortable not only at the computer, but also in front of a smart TV.

Helpful advice: In the store, try different input means, then you will definitely understand which device is more convenient for you.

Interestingly, today you can find original hybrids of the devices described above, for example, a mouse with a trackball, which can also be convenient when used in individual programs.

A gadget that is found in every home today. Every year, increasing demands are placed on the familiar device that allows you to transmit and direct clicks on a computer monitor. Over the past decade, the device has changed a lot both externally and technically.

The mouse's tail fell off, the ball was replaced with a touch diode, and it acquired a streamlined and comfortable shape. Humanity continued to develop, and computer mice improved. And today, computer equipment manufacturers can proudly boast of their new invention, the mouse in the form of a pen.

The pen mouse has become a real salvation for designers, artists, draftsmen, because now any creative profession is based on computer graphics. The mouse pen is comfortable to hold and is practically the same size as a regular marker. Very practical and useful when creating sketches.

You can easily switch slides and point with the cursor at small objects shown on the screen. With this gadget you can quickly draw, write, shade and indicate the exact target for clicking. Buy a pen-mouse and it will become your main assistant in composing electronic signatures.

A pen mouse for a computer can work on any surface. A stable stand will ensure proper storage of the accessory. The device runs on a battery, which means no tangled wires under the computer desk. You only need to connect a module to the computer that will ensure data transfer.

The buttons and wheel on the pen-style mouse are in a vertical arrangement. The button travel is soft and fast. The power button is located on the bottom of the case and is slightly recessed into it to prevent accidental shutdown. Buy a pen mouse for your computer, and it will be an excellent gift for a colleague or artist friend.

The USB drawing pen is available in three fashionable colors. Classic black is suitable for business people, and blue and red are for self-confident creative people.

Buy a wireless pen-mouse, and you will simply be delighted with how easily you can use it to perform any manipulations that are not possible with a regular mouse. The size of the gadget is 14 x 2.3 cm, it can easily be carried in a purse or even a jacket pocket.

Equipment


A computer mouse is such a dull and ordinary item that the thought of buying it in China will not come to everyone. It’s much easier to go to any digital equipment store and buy the mouse you like. In addition to saving time, an obvious advantage is that you will have the opportunity to choose a physiologically and functionally convenient gadget. The review is dedicated to a rather unusual “rodent”. After all, when it comes to a computer mouse, 99% of PC users imagine such a device
... although they also come in , and . Today we will talk about a computer optical mouse in the form factor of a pen.
I purchased a hand mouse for my wife. The main mode of use is making presentations in Powerpoint. The mouse was not given any super-tasks other than to show off. I wasn’t looking for this particular copy, but accidentally came across it on the website

EQUIPMENT

The device came in retail packaging in the form of a combined blister.
There are no distinctive signs on the box indicating the manufacturer and model of the mouse. On the back of the package there is something like a specification, on the end - friendly OS.
A small instruction insert in Chinese and English languages, duplicated information from the seller's page. The software is not included in the package either as a disk or as a link.
Another component of the kit is hidden in the battery compartment - a tiny USB dongle.

MOUSE

The physical dimensions of the gadget are 142x21x41mm, tactilely in the hand it is perceived as a stationery marker.

The assembly cannot be called high-quality: the plastic is thin, the assembly is clip-on. There is a sticker on the case with the device parameters.
The entire structure is based on 1 screw, hidden under this very sticker.
Under the pressure of compression and twisting, the rodent squeaks pitifully. The shaking produces a clattering noise from the only loose button located in the center (aka the “left” button in a regular mouse).
To eliminate discomfort, a small piece of double-sided tape was used as the base of the button. The gaps also cannot be called ideal... actually, China. The weight is almost imperceptible.
There are 4 buttons and 1 wheel found on the device.
The button travel is short and rigid; when pressed, they click dryly. Scrolling works smoothly, there is no button function. The CPI switch button does not have any indicators; it is not clear which mode is selected. I have not noticed any visual difference in switching CPI from 500 to 1000 and vice versa.
On the belly of the mouse there is a toggle switch for turning on the device. This can only be done with a toothpick or a paper clip.

DISASSEMBLY

I don’t feel any pleasure from this process, but I sacredly honor the traditions.



I won't try to decipher the inscriptions, because... I don’t understand a damn thing about this. The only thing that is clear to me is that the components of 2013 are “stone age” by the standards of digital technology.

CONNECTION AND OPERATION

To connect a mouse to a PC, you do not need a disk or a tambourine. You just need to insert the dongle into USB and turn on the mouse. The cursor was picked up even without rebooting the computer and the device worked correctly. The recorded operating range of the device is 5-6 meters. After turning on the mouse, I decided to run the device through a couple of tests. Are common technical specifications I sifted the mice with the program AIDA64


Our mouse is called ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad. The parameters show the capabilities of the gadget. Contrary to expectations, the windows Functions static - you cannot check or uncheck the box. After establishing the pedigree of the device, the search for drivers becomes. We will need them in case of sudden “amnesia” of the mouse.
The smoothness of cursor movement across the surface of the monitor depends on the mouse polling frequency. The size of this indicator for the monitored can be recorded using the program Mouse Rate Checker .
The average result is 200. The result is literally “average”: gaming units give readings many times higher. For average needs it is quite sufficient. For comparison with a “mere mortal” wired mouse, its indicator barely exceeds 140-150 Hertz.
It is not possible to check DPI, because... I didn’t find a corresponding program on the Internet (does it exist?). The dongle practically does not heat up during operation. I have not checked the autonomy yet, the period of use is short.

PECULIARITIES

The whole mouse is a complete feature and if you are not ready to use it, you should not buy it in the first place. If the desire to stand out exceeds the developed habit, then keep in mind:
- Using the mouse at first is very inconvenient. After 2-3 days, an ordinary mouse will seem uncomfortable to you;
- After you start using it for 2-3 hours, you will have to look to see if the thumb responsible for the “right” key is there. IN this device this button practically does not protrude above the surface of the case and the rough skin of the finger does not feel it;
- Mouse scrolling works the other way around, that is, by turning the wheel “towards you” the page will not go down, but up;
- The tilt of the mouse-pen is only possible by 40-45* relative to the vertical. At a greater angle of inclination, the connection with the surface is lost and the cursor gets stuck.
In operation the mouse looks like this:
The model was an older boy about six years old

CONCLUSIONS

The mouse works and performs the assigned functionality. It is unlikely to be suitable for shooting at tanks, but it will do as an original gift or for a narrow range of tasks. I'm planning to buy +11 Add to favorites I liked the review +19 +36
