This is kinda cool, and simple to make too. Basically the insides of an optical mouse put inside halves of clear bottles and wrapped in fabric. The result is a Soap Mouse, named after the way you control it.

That is very odd. Talk about your innovative thinking! That guy was doing pretty well in the video game too. I wonder how long it took him to learn to use it so effectively? I wish I had a spare optical mouse laying around or I would try making one myself just to see how well it works.
Good find! +1rep
I found a few possible candidates for optical mice on newgrounds. each were under $10. Bottles and some vinyl and sewing from your grandma don't seem to be that hard to find. If you could, you could even disable the buttons on a mouse and wrap that in a sock instead!
Go for it man! It's just calling your name! ;)
Anyone want to give this a try and let us know if its even worth doing?
definately going to take a shot at this this weekend
I think it has been discussed on here before (the soap mouse that is), but its a cool gadget indeed.
Go fo it and dont forget to show us the result :)
