<< bah, just buy a cordless mouse >>
i actually have one. i have the logitech cordless optical mouseman. but i like my intellimouse explorer3.0 better so i use it instead. and for games and such and no batteries. it's just better. i have seen this like almost 1.5yrs ago for $5 at office depot. now i'm wondering why i didn't buy it back then. especially now that it tripled in price.

i would also like to see a picture of your little creation as well, it sounds interesting.
