Thank you for all tests and this update. The new manual is already uploaded. Not so detailed and Hermes not covered at all, but hope it is sufficient. I try to keep the overall manual lenght short enough to be actually read by most users.

Glad we could resolve everything and hope you will have fun with your new QIMSI from now on.

How can i buy one?

thanks
Mike

QIMSI inside professionally printed case: In addition to protecting the board and looking nice, the case reduces the risk to damage the small connectors.

Hello, I already have my qimsi at home, a fantastic invention, thank you very much, working with a tetroid tdi and fighting with the different mice I have, which do not work for me, I will have to buy one of the ones you mention.
best regard

Really nice!!!

Can you please tell how to buy one or share the stl files for self printing?

I was looking at those ROMDisQ cases on ebay and wondering if the Qimsi would sit in one of those - but this purpose built 3d case looks the perfect solution

Nice work. Are the STL files or ready printed cases going to be made available?

Glad you like it. I have tested another working mouse that can be bought new. We still have to manange a list.

I had mine printed with a socalled "SLA" printer using black resin at fdm-druckservice.de for 7,32 € plus postage.

The currect STL file is available from QLObi on the German forum:
https://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/view ... 200#p61200
However, I'm not 100% satisfied yet and waiting if QLObi fixes some minor issues.

Update: I have added scrollwheel and middle button support to my QIMSI mouse driver. Binary and source uploaded in my first post.

The mousewheel even works with Toolkit 2 ED or simple editors like QED. The middle button produces an ALT + '.' which appears to be SMSQ/E standard.

Interesting idea, I wonder how it sounds, given the low quality of the QL internal speaker.
