Sometimes I think I'm a creative, practical person, then I watch one of your videos and are absolutely humbled by the level of creativity you display in every step of creation. It's really awesome, man.
Dude, turn that JST crimping and connector assembly into a short. Hands down the best demo I have ever seen. It deserves all the extra views it will bring.
Bro.. I literally thought of the diy Controller to watch it for the 5 the time once again and now I find out youve made a adjustable mouse. Thanks for making videos bro, and take time to make content, its really high quality.
The half-vertical grip style layout you mention at 31:47 is much like the Handshoe mouse, which is the ergonomic mouse I personally use. I would recommend checking out the Handshoe if you haven't already.

Thanks for sharing your inspired and inspiring work with us. Impressed with your fluent desktop manufacturing chops, now with added kicad! Your industrial design language is primarily 'form follows function' but not at the expense of design styling. Would love to see your version of an ergo split keyboard. I might have to invest in a resin printer now...
The level of polish you're able to achieve and the amount of different skills you have is just staggering. It's really so impressive. Thank you so much for sharing. Btw, I know you mention that you don't like vertical mice very much, but I think there's a lot of potential in an adaptive vertical mouse - the body could work as it does now, but it would be connected to the base with another joint, making the whole body tiltable. I personally have been using a vertical mouse for years now, and as with most things, you get used to it and start to be proficient. And I truly believe in the ergonomics benefits it's supposed to have.
There are many pro micro alternatives that have USB-C ports. These are drop-in replacements for pro micros, and are frequently used in open-source mechanical keyboard designs. One model, the Supermini NRF52840, even has bluetooth and built-in battery charging and costs less than $5 (still supports wired connections). Something to explore for anyone building this themselves or future revisions
@@PyottDesign I have several, and they work very well. I found the bluetooth connection reliavle even with multiple devices. Love the mouse design, and I learned a lot watching your design process. I especially love that it's open source, very well done!
What a masterwork of design and engineering. The variety of skillsets on show here is so ridiculously impressive and I'm not sure people even realize it. I'm currently trying to Frankenstein two mice together into a Logitech MX Vertical with the original mouse handling only clicks, then a new mouse in the base handling movement for a better sensor while maintaining the original form factor and feel. A challenge enough for me then RU-vid recommends me this video that's years out of my league :)
Thank you for open sourcing this design! I panic A little when I see innovation because it often means the intentional obsoleting of ideas once no longer profitable.
If you already building a costume mouse you should definitely use Hall effect Switches. They don’t stop working after to much clicks and you could work out some interesting things with them because of the analog output.
If those aluminum tubes in the extension arms are cut longer it should be possible to make it closer to a vertical layout. It wouldn’t be able to collapse back down to normal size but should work. Have to mess around with that in the future 😁
This is such a inspiring project, I would love to make this my self but unfortunately some of the components and tools are not available for me, with that said I wonder how flexible this build is using cheaper components, maybe even an external motherboard like the controller build?
Would love some looking into and focusing on fingertip grip or pen grip designs since you mentioned stagnation in the industry. They can be smaller and lighter and use a grip we’re all used to
This looks cool but I feel like the soldering may limit the actual audience of this making it , I know that as a forerunner in this exotic mouse kind it’s only natural for something like this. Also 👍 for making it open source unlike some who charge exorbitant amounts for next to nothing cough cough optimum cough cough
There are a lot of advancements in the mouse shape department. The thing is you're not going to get that from logitech. Razer has been doing some great things. Companies like Zowei, Vaxee, Finalmouse, Pulsar, Ninjutso and now these random chinese companies are wher eyou wanna look for inspiration.
Haha cant believe it, I was just finishing my shape adaptive mouse project and just saw this video. I guess great minds think alike. Hmm maybe we could combine the two designs into something something more.
It would be cool to see this type of design methodology aimed at a similar shape to the Logitech leap or . really cool design otherwise the use of ball joints to adjust is a really ingenious design.
Eh, that comment I made was an over simplification. Many places are totally value engineering based with industrial design being almost totally ignored. Other shops are industrial design driven. It really depends on the industry and what position a company is trying to carve out in that industry. Higher margin "premium" brands usually put a lot of focus on ID. Lower margin product companies, not so much.
Not bad but hot swap switches are a good idea in a mouse in the long therm.3 pin debounce could be good too,or at least a better debouncing algorithm. And ambi version would be nice .
Thanks for thinking about us lefty mouse users. Getting a gaming mouse for lefties is a joke. Many mice pretending to be "symmetrical" end up having thumb buttons on the left side. Yes ther was a special Razer Naga lefty version, but putting a gazzilion buttons to the side of the mouse doesn0t make it automatically awesome. Running a Logitech 903 where I can modify the side buttons, rarely a Logitech G300 and absolutely mainly Roccat KOVA AIMOs. The latter two have (and I friggin love that with my large hands and long fingers) additional front buttons to the left and right of the main left and right mouse button. Why not more mice have that setup I really don't get.
Are you referring to his voice or the overall mix? Aside from a bit of background hum / fan noise (very subtle, probably from his pc) I wasn't able to pick anything super direct up even when turning my volume way up on a good pair of headphones out of a professional audio interface. Unless I'm just less sensitive to those specific frequencies, this might just be an issue with your setup.
It's disappointing to me how many people don't know about the R.A.T. I brought it up back in your original video but I guess it was never seen. I have used a R.A.T. for 10+ years and have two still in box so I can theoretically have them until mice are no longer used. Everything with the exception of roll and mouse button movement is possible along with tons of configurable plastic parts. I'd love for some of the customable parts from them to be added to your design but I'm not the best 3d modeler
Oh yeah, I had the original RAT when it came out and have fun memories of it! I was originally going to talk about it in the video but had to cut it for time. You can still see it on my style board at the 10:34 mark
awesome work, thanks for sharing! having to use a separate stl for left-handed and right-handed kinda defeats the adjustable/adaptive concept of that mouse though. would it be realistic to make it 100% adjustable e.g. by making that thumb panel usable on boths sides without requiring a different stl file?
Have you considered the viability of a 12 button sideplate like the Razer Naga Trinity? How difficult/expensive do you think that would be? I love the look of the Statial, but I could never go back to not having a 12 button sideplate.
I'd thought about having additional buttons but wire management from the moving surfaces would become pretty clunky for 10+ buttons. You would also need to add some hardware to manage that many buttons going into the Pro Micro controller. Not impossible, just something I didn't want to get bogged down with in this version.
I cant focus on the project, i just keep thinking about how you have your middle finger on the scroll wheel and your ring finger on the right click. I've never seen that before
Yeah I use a 131 grip. Lots of cad software uses simultaneous middle & right button clicking so I’ve always been that way. Twitch era gamers seem to use way more 122. You can set the Statial up for either, you just cluster the buttons together for 122 and pull the outside surface in more
Ok but if you're printing it anyway, can't you just print a solid shape that fits your specific hand exactly? Do the measurement and adjustments in software, before print.
