    well its done! it works pretty good. there are minor issues with it permently right clicking, just opening and closing the case fixes it.







    to get the mouse buttons to click i melted away a notch from the orginal mouse buttons and secured them in place with some electrical tape. here is a picture of where i melted the mouse.

    and this is how i placed it over the mouse switch. the red is where i placed the tape, brown is the plastic, black is the switch.
