A friend who just saw this title may ask: What is the practical value of this item? After reading this article, you will understand.
This is my Sony laptop, because she is light and small, it brings a lot of convenience to my work and life. However, anyone who has this kind of ultra-thin notebook knows that because the manufacturer wants to save as much space as possible, this kind of notebook only has one USB interface and does not provide PS2 interface, so I had to use a USB mouse. Flash storage (USB flash drive for short) is an essential copy and backup tool when I go out. It is also an indispensable partner for me. At this time, the drawbacks of a single USB interface are also apparent.
The ports are from the left to the right: the torch wheel, USB, 10-Gigabit network port, two-hole, and power switch.
This is the other side of the computer. There are two FireWire interfaces. It would be nice if the manufacturer designs them as USB.
Below are my commonly used USB Optical Mouse and M Flash drive. Each time you use a USB flash drive, you need to unplug the USB flash drive and insert it back.
There is a solution, that is, to use the USB hub to expand the number of USB interfaces. The problem is coming again. plugging is free, but there is another thing in the computer bag filled with an External Optical soft drive and a backup battery ~. Is there a way to combine them into one? The answer is yes! If you have a soldering iron and 10 thousand Gb/s and have normal Circuit Welding capabilities, it can be done easily within 30 minutes.
First, separate the three items. Remove the mouse first:
Then the USB flash drive:
USB hub:
Because the USB interface of the USB flash disk occupies space compared with the metal plug-in end of the USB hub, and the space in the mouse is limited, the two metal interfaces need to be welded out.
Cut a mouse wire and connect the USB flash drive to the USB hub. Do not mix the line sequence:
In the same way, cut a mouse line to connect the USB hub and the mouse's main circuit board, and then weld one end with a USB connector and the lead that needs to be connected to the computer at the USB hub input end.
Use strong double-sided tape or hot sol to stick the Three Circuits together. Note that it is best to separate the circuits with tape to prevent short circuits.
After connecting to the computer, the computer first found the mouse through the built-in USB hub, and then found a USB flash drive, move a few mouse, no problem! It's okay to copy a few more files to the USB flash drive! It seems that this DIY operation was successful!
After the mouse shell is installed, this photovoltaic cool mouse with m flash memory is complete. Because the USB hub and USB flash drive circuit board are very small and light, there is no obvious feeling in the mouse, it will not affect your normal movement
The advantages of making this mouse are:
1. combine the three fragmented peripherals into a whole, which is more suitable for users who often "move" like this.
2. Reduce the USB interface plugging times on the laptop and prolong the interface life.
3. I often don't know where to place my USB flash drive, but the mouse is large and hard to lose.
4. Give the mouse an unprecedented storage function. In the future, you only need to copy the tool and software to help others debug the computer, and take one mouse to solve the problem.
(The following are my thoughts after completing this work. Let's just laugh at it)
1. We hope that some manufacturers can produce a large number of resources, and even integrate all the three parts of the circuit into the mouse's main circuit board. This saves you the trouble of DIY. The cost is simply the price of the mouse plus the price of the USB flash drive. Although a USB hub of 18 RMB is used, the cost of U disk shell mold, interface, packaging and USB hub shell mold, interface, connection line and packaging is reduced. Therefore, the price should be almost the price of the mouse plus the U disk.
2. The features are cool. You can show off and cheat mm to your friends.
3. If the boss asks you to help debug your computer, you can say that you are familiar with your mouse ...... I don't have the guts to insert a USB flash drive to my boss's computer, but he won't be prepared to use the mouse. Then ...... Personnel transfer table ...... I am Haha ...... Employee Payroll ...... I am hahaha ......
