A Guy Made a Computer Mouse That is Also a Functional Laptop (vice.com)

A YouTube user who goes by Electronic Grenade has designed a computer mouse that is also a functional laptop. From a report: As detailed in a video published on Sunday, the computer mouse computer consists of a 3d-printed mouse, a Raspberry Pi microcontroller, a small keyboard, and a handful of components that were taken from a normal computer mouse. "Even though the screen is attached to the mouse, the sensitivity of the mouse makes it not that hard to follow along with what is happening on the screen," Electronic Grenade said in the video. Nevertheless, the mouse does have its faults. According to Electronic Grenade, a few resource intensive applications will occasionally cause the mouse computer to crash.

    I bet it runs Emacs.

    I'm assuming there's a RP Zero in there and its a single board computer that runs linux. Strange that it crashes though, it might need a heatsink and some cooling vents.

    Yo dawg, I heard you like computing, so I hooked a computer up to your computer.
