What can I do with extra mice?

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
I own 4 mice.
Wheel Mouse Optical
SS Kinzu
CM Xornet
Razer Abyssus

I was thinking of putting my kinzu cord (braided) into my WMO so I dont have a rubberized cord getting tangled.
My abyssus also has broken clicks but still working components.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what I can do with these, I only use the WMO and the others are pretty useless to me (my Xornet isn't useless I just need a white mousepad to see how good it really is).

Some options:
-Buy even more mice, and call it a collection.
-Take them apart, for fun.
-Attempt to hybridize them, and see what happens.
-Sell them.
-Throw out any that don't work; keep the rest as backups.
-Throw them at people you don't like (don't actually do this).

I messed around with all my old mice and ruined them in one way or another.

Don't make the same mistake unless you really know what you're doing, just sell them for dirt cheap even if you don't need the money. That was my logic initially, didn't really care for the money, couldn't even sell it for half of what I bought it for. Now that I think about it, much better selling them than keeping bits and pieces of them that have been taken apart and chopped up in my drawer.

I had heaps of mice, used them to test soldering/desoldering switches/spray painted them/changed cords etc.

Friends, eBay, or feed them to your snake.
