The awesome mouse sets out to conquer a problem I have yet to see solved in the maker community, a 6DOF, 3D-printable 3D mouse to use for CAD programs (and other modelling applications). I use a name-brand 3D mouse at work most days, but one day I came home and wanted the same capability here. After discovering the cost of a normal 3D mouse ($150-400) and realizing that only one company had a monopoly on 6DOF mice, I set out to make my own. One that is 6DOF, mostly 3D printable, cheap, and open source.
I was looking at 3d Mousa alternatives a couple weeks back and see this one. This is definitely a super cool idea vs the “standerd” 3d mouse of encoder + joystick + hall sensor.
