Title: displaying numerous "puter mice" any ideas ?
Post by: honvetops on June 16, 2007, 09:11:18 AM
I want to make a cool looking display with like 12 different mice- from a real old Logitech female serial mouse to the new wireless. Any ideas on a cool way to display them /
My first was to hang them some way from the wall behind my chair( behind me if I was facing forward towards my puter setup).  Its a small little bedroom.

I seriously doubt that that you could get that many connected. Each mouse would have to have its own connection, and loading multiple drivers and mice could cause serious conflict. It might be possible (I wouldn't do it) to connect multiple mice through an externally powered USB hub. If you don't actually want the pointers to move, do a print screen of the desktop, paste it into a graphics editing program, then copy and paste the pointer all over the image. Save it and use it as the background.

edit: print screen does not capture the pointer.

How about putting them in a hamster cage and have them all coexist. I don't know how to get one to run on the little wheel though :P
But keep the wireless away from the rest so thy don't mate ;D

LMfreakin A OFF   "2k_dummy"
though hanging from a wall and able to easily take off could serve that purpose...


Vic E  was right on,  something  artistic/ sureal   not actually  "usable"..lol


Patio, if I was a little more inclined that would be an awesome idea*

Now I guess I need 25 bucks for a hamster cage!  << thats #1 choice so far...

going to wait and see if more great ideas show up!!  thanks for all replys so far !

Oh jeez...something like that would probably slay Ashley Ashley (http://www.nlbelardes.com/blogger/2006/07/as-ashley-and-big-traveling-art-bazaar.html).

I say you make a little computer mouse graveyard.

Well, that throws my 12 legged spider idea out the window.
Three blind mice..won't work.

Twelve days of Christmas was a fading idea.

'The Dirty Dozen' then you don't ever need to clean them.

Put them in a 'frickin' egg carton.

Explain the spider thing to me, I'm mentally challenged  ???

Patio's idea, now that it sunk in after a few days wouldn't really be too hard at all.

what is the egg carton idea?   dirty dozen maybe ?

"i could do a bakers dozen, and put them all in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 !!!   but that would ruin probably 6 good mice*    ???
