Any hopes for a USB or serial mouse? I don't have a PS2 mouse anymore, but I do have a lot of USB mice and 1 serial mouse which is mechanically damaged - the mouse is still detected by the computer but the ball which senses the movement (sorry I don't know the proper term for it

) does not work, thus making the mouse useless.

I don't understand, what do you want to do?

Well at first I never noted that this thread was 2 years back (2007)

It mentioned that you can build a LED flasher from a PS2 mouse. I don't have any PS2 mouse anymore. Can I do this with a serial/USB mouse?

Why you don't just scrap the LED from the mouse and use a 555 or a couple of transistors and capacitors? Is a lot cheaper

edit: !!! never realized it was an old thread, I'm reading the other messages right now to get the context

edit: you can use any kind of mouse, just wire a 9V battery in series with a resistor and any of the mouse's switches

Thanks, it works fine on first try

Why don't you try this single transistor solution that bananasiong posts?
