Make a Remote Shutter Release with your Old Mouse

Here’s a spiffy DIY project for all you photographers who’d like a weekend project. Transform your old mouse that’s collecting dust into a Remote Shutter Release! This little DIY is from Dave Schlier.

You’ll need to have the following things for this project:

1. Soldering skills
2. Spare mouse
3. 2.5mm Stereo Jacks with solderable contacts
4. 3 or 4 wire cable (I.E. Telephone Cable)
5. and of course, some elbow grease
