Evening chaps. A bit of advice please. I’m wondering if any of the machinists here could/would make something like this for me please? Probably brass, maybe stainless.
It’s a scroll wheel out of my son’s gaming computer mouse. By all accounts the thing is very well made with replacement parts available and all very good quality......except this scrolling wheel. At 16 dollars a pop it’s not exactly cheap either.
The issue is the hexagonal shaft on one side breaks off. It’s hexagonal to drive the part inside which tells the computer to scroll which is fair enough, just that this is the 3rd one now. Have tried other mouses which get trashed in no time due to the fervent nature of those game he plays and this one seems the best, just has a weak part.
Doesn’t have to be and exact copy, just dimensionally correct. Could be solid rather than spoked etc.
Anyone fancy having a go? Beer vouchers waiting.
