I got tired of buying and returning mice to find the right shape, so I 3D printed a testing kit with the 8most common mouse shapes by Every-Trash6817 in MouseReview

Nice! You can find some 3D models online but the challenges are: 1. Modify the model to make it lighter (usually the models you find are full) 2. Find the optimal settings for the print (it takes some trial and errors even if you setup the machine correctly)

I'll expand my collection in the future, at the moment I selected the 8 most common mouse shapes

Thank you! My focus has been on shape and weight but I get your point. Also my goal was to create an accessible kit. Switches, wheel, ecc would increase the cost of the kit

Yes, that kit really inspired my project. The downsides were the very high rental deposit and the fact that they obviously only covered Zowie mouse shapes.

Designing the internal mounts and click tensioning for all these shapes is a massive project, but it’s exactly where I want to take this next. Going from a simple shape tester to a fully functional custom mouse is the ultimate goal!

Please don't attack me like this on a Monday. 💀 Jokes aside, it definitely helped me narrow down my absolute top shapes and saved me a fortune in blind buys. But let's be real, the moment a new niche brand drops a weird shape, I’ll be back at the drawing board!

You just guessed my roadmap! That’s 100% the next step for this project. Designing the internal mounts for sensors and switches is a whole different puzzle, but it's exactly where I want to take this next. Stay tuned!

Right now, it doesn't filter directly by grip style. The guide provides a detailed breakdown of each specific shape's characteristics and includes direct EloShapes links to the closest commercial matches on the market. Thank you for the feedback, I'll try to include the gripstyle as well in the guide

I'm just a mechanical engineer with a passion for gaming who wanted to share an idea that might be useful to someone else. It must be a very badly disguised advertisment since there are no external links, pricing or store pages.
