Being so heavy, maybe this is a rat? I've heard wireless mice being referred to as hamsters, as they have no tails. Great work, as always.

It's heavy, made of metal, and looks as if it stand up to a tank shell, so maybe "Maus" would be a more appropriate name for it.

In a Logitech Superlight's world, this goes completely against the grain. r/MouseReview would cry with the thought of lifting a mouse that weighs more than 75g, but that's because they're weak AF. That said, why stop at Paint? This needs to be showcased in a quick aim lab session!

[@velazquezarmouries]

I think a heavier mouse would feel better and the metal feeling would be great

[@benbroekhuis8778]

[@graciouscompetentdwarfrabbit]

​@@dakel20 Same, but ergonomically speaking, heavy mouses are slightly worse for you, but the weight is less important than the shape of the mouse, so if the mouse is heavier but more comfortable to hold, than that's most likely better than a light mouse with worse shape. If it weren't because I lack the time (and the know-how, and the money), I'd love to try and mod a mouse and keyboard, in such a way that it'd fit as well as possible to my hands, but for now, I can live with a basic MK and a cheapo gaming mouse I bought like 8 years ago (which has definitely become smaller than ideal for my hand size) and still works

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Uri, “I made a solid brass engraved mouse”! Everyone, “ Of course you did”! We’re the stupid ones for not guessing! Great work, best KZbinr of all time.

[@mcsammyb6166]

When electronics are involved, you should probably use wood internal components or add some insolation to prevent short circuits. But this is really cool, love to see more modern tech remade like this. For ergonomics sake you could make it mainly with wood and add thin brass plates for aesthetics.

[@JazzyFizzleDrummers]

Maybe rubber washers on all contacts with the circuit might help?

[@mikeguy1899]

@@knova7597 I do hope that your comment is satire

[@TimmmmCam]

The PCB is clearly well secured away from the metal and it's only 5V anyway. The worst that can happen is he breaks the mouse electronics (USB ports generally have short circuit protection).

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Incredible work. They make ceramic sliders for mice. It might be worth putting some on that.

And just like that "Tuchman Punk", a new evolution of Steam punk, is delivered to the world all shiny and made of brass. Nice one Uri.. how many hours does one of these take to make I wonder?..

[@urituchmanpigeon]

Quite a while, the engraving alone took about five days to make.

[@fredericapanon207]

@@urituchmanpigeon The engraving is beautiful. For something to fit my hand, I do find the overall design to be too angular. A wooden mouse would have the advantage of more electrical isolation for the delicate circuits inside. Brass scrollwork inlay into a contrasting, dark walnut would be pretty awesome. You could shape the wood with more curves to better fit a hand.

[@tinaredington1292]

You just made my morning! I really like your videos. Im a retired master goldsmith and l love your craftmanship with the comic relief. 👍🏻

[@shaunhall960]

Likewise!

[@timharris3292]

I have noticed the high number of trained, professional craftspeople who seem to enjoy Uri's work. (I'm a saddler myself.) I don't know why that should be. Perhaps the simple joy of making something for it's own sake resonates for folk who have made things by hand all their lives, dedicated their lives to a craft, and have perhaps (just occasionally) dreaded Monday morning coming around yet again.

[@Seelenschmiede]

I'm a dental technician and I love Uris work. His skills are so wide streched and great, not only one thing mediocre like most people. He is a master of many crafts.

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

​@@Seelenschmiede What I like is the fact that he makes his own tooling and machines and thats a true sign of an engineer and craftsman. That is the only way that a skill is truly developed from the very basics ending up as Master. As it always should be and sadly now as true apprenticeships of 5 plus years are dying out it is truly great to see. I can remember standing at a Vice for 6 months just to learn to file as an engineer and making blocks so perfect that you could not fit the finest piece of paper in between the joins. They would lock together by the perfectness of the filing. Of course in seconds that can be done by machines with 9 axis tooling but to do it by hand creates a special person, someone who is patient, capable and excels they are not afraid of hard work and are able to manage time and we dont do this is longer in this throwaway world we live in.

[@KJ-kw7gh]

Been subscribed for a while now. You should have way more subscribers based upon the talent you show Uri. And the crazy ingenuity. And oh yeah, everyone needs a mouse solid enough to be used as a medieval flail in case of an emergency, lol.

[@Kate_Fyria]

I'm so impressed when you hand engrave without a power engraver. It looks so amazing!

[@Occatuul]

I love that the song evolved as the project did. I have been Uri ear-wormed big time!

Uri's videos are always a joy. Art craft and wit all in one absurdist package. I was having a pretty good day anyway, but it just got significantly better because of one lovely, talented man in Berlin who I have never met.

[@finndriver1063]

Wow this looks incredible! Though I can't help agreeing that this would get a touch uncomfortable in practice... A trackball, on the other hand, can benefit from a bit of weight to keep it stable on the desk. I can't help but imagine an engraved-brass version of the Ploopy Classic open-source trackball

[@smoky-phil7694]

Oh god yes this looks like it would be a nightmare to actually use for any extended period of time nothing but flat and angles. Looks really good but yeah a trackball style would be much easier to get looking like this without making you want to throw it though a window after half hour of use.

[@SunroseStudios]

Brass, being a natural sanitizing agent, actually makes a lot of sense for frequently touched surfaces, like mice and keyboards.

[@galvanizeddreamer2051]

IIRC, it's the copper in it. Literally oxidizes microbes to death.

[@SheepUndefined]

Afaik that sorta works at first, but after a while the oil buildup cancels it out to create a film, and its kinda just like any other surface in terms of sanitary properties.

[@Joe___R]

That is definitely a good looking mouse & I would like to have one even if it isn't a very practical mouse. You should try making another one that is shaped better & as light as possible. Consider making it out of some nice wood that you hallow out & inland metal scroll work into. That would allow you to make it more ergonomicall and lighter weight while keeping it your style.
