There’s not much to it – almost all optical mouse sensors have a rather simple serial interface (clock and data) suitable for linking to a microcontroller like Arduino. Anyway, tutorials available ...

In this tutorial, I will show how you can handle the optical sensor inside a cheap optical-mouse for your next microcontroller project. Hope, this will allow your preferred microcontroller to look at ...

It’s your standard optical USB mouse with scrollwheel, with the exception of the damned snow scene in the palm rise, which is made of transparent plastic.

Fortunately, Brando has come out with a USB optical mouse that has a built-in digital scale, designed, apparently, for this precise situation.
