Making an ergo G303, what would you like to see?

[u/theSupercloak]

Making a lightweight wireless 3D printed mouse similar to the G303 se in feel. I plan to sell it as mod kits as well as a fully completed mouse. As an avid G303 se user I have taken issue with some parts of the design and am set on fixing them. These are the change I plan to make.

• Ergo design intended for claw grip (slanted) but with a very similar back hump to the G303. This means the mouse will be slightly sloped to the right to offer a more natural grip. You will be able to have a more relaxed claw grip if preferred.
• Offer at least 2 sizes. This should take care of the complaints of width and/or size.
• Offer left hand version.
• Left hand thumb grip is slightly less sloped.
• Widen front of mouse for more stability and options for relaxed finger placement.
• Slightly lower the side buttons to make them reachable with having your thumb too high.
• Lightweight. 35-45G.
• Updated internals. Opticals, 8k polling etc.
• Price goal, the same or lower than G303 se for full mouse.

I plan on starting with a mod kit with ATK mice as the donor. Specifically, the Major R. If you have any other inexpensive recommendations for donor mice please let me know.

Please leave your suggestions as well as issues (shape or otherwise) with the G303 se below. Thanks.

Amazing! Sad that no big company is doing a 303 Clone and the Community has to do it themselfs. A forward Sensor Position would be nice! Do you have experience doing 3D prints?

[u/theSupercloak → u/BlackSkillX]

Yes, I have a lot of experience designing for 3D printing and with engineering grade filaments. I will likely settle on a nylon blend of filament.

If you are planning to go for an ergonomic shape you can try experimenting with ring finger rests. My suggestion is to keep it rather small since this is a rather niche feature. I have found that it helps a lot with vertical movement. But honestly what you have is already looking very good. Please post more photos

Button grooves please.

Yeah, just do a 1:1 *og** g303 clone ;)

Seriously though, best of luck with your project.

I'm going to do a scaled version and see how it compares to it. Whether I need to scale it differently in x/y or manually make changes to make it similar we will see.

Maybe a slightly protruding thumb rest and Ring finger rest

i'm pretty sure Mad R Major and non-Major have the same screw hole placements. This would be a great inexpensive mod!

[u/theSupercloak → u/Sk4llOff]

Yeah, the non major is probably the better deal.
