Altoids Wireless Pocket Mouse

This is an awesome project to do with one of the many Altoids tins you have laying around.
All you need is:
- Altoids tin
- Mini Wireless Mouse
- Blue Scotch tape
- Batteries (of course)
- Foam, or something similar

The mouse I used was one like this one:

Lets get started!

Step 1: Pre-Build

The "pre-build" is fairly simple, all you need to do is take out the guts of your mouse, and make a hole for you scroll wheel and the mouse lens on the tin.

√ To make it look less like a mouse, don't open a hole for the scroll wheel. 

Step 2: The Build!

The build is simple, just take a lot of tweaking to get it working just right. Transplant the mouse internals into the tin, if you use the same mouse I did, you shouldn't have any problems. Use some foam to keep the batteries in place.

The Buttons:
- Cut out tiny 5x5x5mm foam pieces to make the buttons.
- Use some tape to keep stick them to the tin, use tape, not hot glue. 
- To adjust them, just pinch them, or press them down.

Keep everything safe:
- Place a piece of tape to keep the batteries from
making contact with the tin when you close it up.

¡Look at picture notes!

Step 3: Done!

You're {done}. Once you connect it up, and start using it, you'll perfect it. This is an awesome camouflaged mouse, believe me people won't even suspect what it is, even less if yours doesn't have a scroll wheel! Perfect for using at school or at work to mess around.
