Micro Innovations optical mouse

This is one of those rare devices that I take apart that was mine to begin with, rather than something I trash-picked. I bought this right after I moved here, and since I was light on cash at the time, I didn't buy a better one. This lasted about two years or so until it became unreliable.

It just sort of looks cheap, doesn't it?

The inside of an optical mouse has a lot less moving parts than the traditional ball mouse, which makes it less interesting for my purposes.

As a percentage of total parts, this is a decent parts pile, but beyond that, it's not very impressive.
