anthony Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Hi, I was thinking all day yesterday.. I hate my ROM (royal ontario museum) mouse pad. i got for free.. so i wanted to make my own. I saw a link to a tutorial a few weeks ago on how to make your own mouse pad with plexi glass, leds, cathodes... but I cant seem to find it anymore... can someone please help me out with the link? or tell me generally how to do this mod? thank you! roadkill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 can you show me a pic of pluging it into the usb plug? would it be posible to plug it into a ps/2 plug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 (edited) Here are the voltages of a PS/2 plug: 3 is a ground and 4 is +5v. You would have get a ps/2 wire (they sell ps/2 extenders at stores) and use that as a power cord. Oh, and here is the picture of plugging in a usb cable you asked for.
