Day 1:
Well, I have nothing to do and very bored at home, so I decided to mod me mouse and took all the pictures for fun. Now, to post them and show off my work

Tools required for serious action:
One old mouse, operated and ready to go:



Sizzarga:


Carbon Fibre Sticker, Water, Julie's Cookies:



Puncher?:


Other stuffs:

Knife for removing mouse feets and screw driver for screwing the mouse. Make the mouse high a bit so it opens easily...

Carbon Fibre sticker review:


This roll of carbon fibre sticker, hence forth shall be known as CF, is bought from rezzz bulk at RM20 per metre...

Good stuff, I'd say a 9/10:
Nice texture; shiny, easy to stick, water proof, definately tough and strong.
BUT after sticking, when I try to remove it, it leaves glue residue on the surface. Oh well...

Exploded view of my mouse:

Dismentled and disassembled...

We start CF-ing the buttons first:

Measure to size...



Cut appropriate lengths of CF


Stick stick stick:


Thats for the first one:

Will continue with second button after some cookie break... yum yum...

Final result:

And then for my personal turtle shell:






Slicing and dicing:


After slicing and dicing

Thank u thank u...

Day 2:
Now for the mouse scroll




Initial result:




And then the corners:

Ran out of pictures already...

Nah, the film quite keras and stiff for 0.4mm in thickness. So I use a flame thrower and a knife to compensate for the curves, cutting out the air bubbles...

Right side for more CF ing:


Now to mod the mouse feet



This is where the puncher comes in!


But due to the high quality of the CF, damn the puncher cant pierce the sticker

So had another cookie break and came back with an idea. Since the CF is good at stretching, so I put it on some paper to increase its hardness and use the puncher again:

walla, it works!



After adding the CF to the mouse feets:




And a piece of CF to the front to cover the lost of paint:




DONE!

For fun of course... Performance wise, i mean in terms of smoothness, the teflon is better...

Will do the back part next time when I get bored again...

Spraying, not practical.
Tape, not practical. It will be sticky and gluey when i'm done with it...

Approximately 3 months later, bottom side of mouse.



As you can see that the CF sticker on the mouse has wared off at the right mouse button area. This is a result from, dota, warcraft 3, gta san andreas and some other games...

After erm... few years. Still can use!

I think i'll use the 3d one for my car bonnet since the paint is chipping off. Not for my mouse la, this old old sticker still looks damn new...
