Pics of Hacked Pro Snow mouse (It is a gem)
Pro Snow Mouse
More pics of the Pro Snow Mouse are avalible <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/michael_m/PhotoAlbum4.html" target="_blank">here</a>
I have got to tell you this thing is betufful in person! it Matched the iBook perfectly. It is all white and at night there is a slight tiny glow of red.
I made it yesterday by taking my pro mouse and pulling off the clear plactic on the top. I then gave it 3 good coutes of spray paint and then painted the little finger tabs on the side. the who thing probebly took 1 hour for my to take it off, mask out the part I whated to paint, pait it, let it dry, and put it back on.
Hope you like it

And why is this in Future Hardware?? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> You think Apple is going to release your mouse or something?
Michaelm-G4 and display album question: Is your room intentionally decorated like an Apple store? Or are you and Jobs just on the same wavelength?

When the new pro keyboard and mouse were unveiled at the 2000 MWNY (along with the indigo, ruby, sage, graphite and snow iMacs), it bugged me that for the first time in the iMac's life, the keyboard (and mouse) didn't really seem to be a part of it.
The new non-fruity iMacs STILL had that milky ice-colored white plastic to them, but yet the keyboard and the new mouse had that super slick glassy look to them of the G4 tower handles and the G4 Cube (which was also unveiled that day).
I like the full-size keyboard and the mouse is cool and all, but it would be cool if they packaged the clear one with the G4 and produced a more iMac-esque pro keyboard and mouse in a nice, neutral "ice" coloring to go with the iMac.
I guess that gets expensive and gets into issues of supply and warehousing and matching keyboards/mice with certain machines, huh?
At the very least, even if they shipped the clear stuff with all their desktops, it would be cool if Apple sold a replacement kit (or hell, simply some sort of snap-on "shell" or attachment that would better match the iMac).
In any case, we'll see what MWSF holds in just a few short weeks.
it would be SUPER leet if you put a silver Apple logo on it, or maybe a silver Logo of your own
I like hte pro keyboard, but after keeping mine in a dusty barn for 4 months or so, it really got perma-dirty, I've gone through 1 1/2 cans of compressed air, but its still not as responsive and easy to use as it first was. I love the pro mouse, though I can't stand one-button, so I gave mine to my mom(she hated the puck)
I actually didn't mind the puck, though my hands are HUGE(probably 9 inchs from thumb-pinky) once you get used to the puck, it was actually a pretty good mouse(though all my anti-mac PC using friends, would NOT stop laughing)
anyway, Good job mike, I love seeing all your art work and mock-ups keep it up
No screws... I don't want to crack the plastic.

well I had this problem also. And I did not find an anwsre. I just when to my school computer lab and tryed pulling off the tops. I finally found one that came off with out any pain. OS I swaped it with my mouse at home. but if it dose not pop out with ease I do not think it is possible.
<strong>Looks like you wrapped a Pro mouse in a condom. A good condom, though. No crappy latex for our preciouse!</strong><hr></blockquote>
