3D Printed Gaming Mouse - G305

by ananords

I really like the look of the nal mouse 2 and the Well, after some searching online I found out that
glorious model O, but I also wanted a wireless mouse. there are several 3D printed mods that you can do to
So I thought, why not combine one of the best the G305, and one of them had a nal mouse 2 look!
wireless mouses, the Logitech G305, with the look of So, I purchased the 3D model, and made my own
the nal mouse 2? wireless ultralight mouse.

Step 1: Watch the Video!

I made a YouTube video showing the process of making this mouse. You can watch it here:

Step 2: Get the Parts:

The parts I used are listed below, with link to Amazon links:
AliExpress.

Step 3: Printing the Parts:

I chose to print the shell in white PLA, and the base I didn't design the parts my self, but got them from
and buttons in a really cool blue color called Glitz an Etsy seller named "amotoma". Link to the Etsy here
Sapphire.

I printed the shell with a 0.25 mm nozzle, and the He also has published the les without the honey
base with a 0.4 mm nozzle. All the parts were printed cone design on thingiverse for free
with 25% in ll.

Step 4: Finishing the Parts:

I spent a lot of time ling and sanding the parts, to make them as smooth as possible. When I was done with that, I
used a ller to ll in the gaps in the print. When that was dry, I sanded it, and added more ller. Lastly, I added a few
coats of white spray paint, before I used some clear lacquer to protect the paint.
This gave the mouse a very smooth nish, and it feels really nice in the hand.

Step 5: Dissasemble the Mouse:

Now is the time to disassemble the mouse. I made a video showing the process if you are stuck, but it should be
quite simple to do. You can watch the video here:

Step 6: Preparing the Mouse Parts:

Sw it c he s : often. It is also not that heavy. I used a 3.7V 500mah
battery, so I had to use a voltage step down module

parts, but none of them are that hard. The rst step is
to desolder the wires from the right and left click Another option, that is probably better, is to use a
button PCB. Then, you could desolder the switch. See micro USB rechargeable AA or AAA battery. They give

the holes in the bottom of the mouse PCB, and solder
the wires back on. Again, see attached photos. NB! Remember to set the voltage on the step down
module BEFORE plugging it into the mouse.
Battery:

I chose to use a drone battery to power this mouse. That's all! Now you are ready to assemble the mouse.
Mainly because I had it lying around, but also because
it has a lot of capacity, so I don't need to charge it that

Step 7: Assembling:

1. The rst thing to do, is to glue the micro USB in 7. Screw the left and right click buttons to the shell,
place. I used some super glue. with the DPI button holder between.

2. Place the ON/OFF switch in the 3D printed base, 8. Insert the DPI button pin into the DPI button,
and insert the PCB slowly. Make sure it lines up with before inserting that into the shell.
the stand-o s, and that the ON/OFF switch works.
9. Insert the side buttons.
3. Screw the PCB in place using the screws that was
used in your disassembled G305. Do the same with 10. Click the shell onto the base. If this requires a lot
the buttons. of force, try sanding the sides of the base and the
inside of the shell.
4. Insert the side button PCB
11. Glue the mouse skates/feet back on.
5. Use some double-sided tape and secure the battery
with PCB's to the base. You are now done!

6. Plug in all the wires, but plug in the battery last.
