Something experimental - A5000 mouse ball replacement.

You're getting closer !

It feel like it :)

Interestingly, the half ball I did make, came out at a nice weight, so if I can get the resin/hardener mix right this time it 'should' work out.

That would be great !

That would be great !

Got a few odds and sods to get sorted first, but I reckon I'll be trying again very soon!

Don't know if you were able to sort your mouse ball issue, but I found this on Evil Bay:

Maybe worth trying ?

Nice find, have ordered some. I'm still going to try and make one though.

Great find, I've order a pair. *BUT* I imagine they are the wrong size. The auction says 22mm but also says "Suitable for most Acorn mice."

Acorn Archimedes mice are as we know 20mm so if they come and don't fit they are going back and I will claim the postage both ways too!

@rubber_jonnie @alexh

"Suitable for most Acorn mice." is what I saw, but since I cannot find my callipers again, I cannot check with my mouse...

You have these as well, a bit smaller and from the US:

Something interesting for you I found last week:

and translated into English here:

I guess you can find "SUGRU" in the UK quite easily too.

The eBay vendor assures me they are NOS from Acorn. Let's just hope Acorn didn't switch to 22mm balls for RISCPC.
