Lodestone MOUSE announcement!

I haven’t done a great job at keeping it “secret” and some of you have been following along the development on Discord. This is an idea I’ve had for a while and there’s been a few iterations over the years but here it is finally!

This is a modded mouse that produces your audio as a magnetic field over the two mouse buttons. This way you can get two-channel haptic feedback while using it. It connects over Bluetooth and routes your audio through two inductors right beneath your fingertips. This feedback is actively amplified for significantly stronger feedback.

Similarly to the PICO, the detailed DIY instructions can be found on the repo above for the crafty ones and I will be making batches for anyone wishing to get one directly and support the project. All information can be found on the brand new Lodetone catalog here:

Also I’ll be making a couple chamges to the DIY guide jic you’re making one

If I could source 2 titans I might have to keep them for myself :sweat_smile: at least one

Thanks!! I thought the look was appropriate for a cyborg gadget :mechanical_arm:

Oh wow. I would love one with the inductor below the palmrest, as that’s where my xG3 sits and that’s pretty sensitive now.
