(This is an extension and shout out to my previous thread, where I wanted make a gaming mouse. Please view that here: https://www.electronicspoint.com/threads/adding-buttons-to-a-mouse.270298/#post-1626885) Just wondering if anyone knows where to get high DPI Cmos or other mouse-compatible optical sensors.

Out of other mice.

Yeah, thanks, I already know that. -_- I'm asking where you can find them WITHOUT buying high end mice. Not spending that much on a silly mouse.

Have you tried places like digikey and tried searching for "optical sensor"?

As to whether they're mouse compatible, I'm not sure how you'd determine that.

You can find a high DPI off brand mouse for like 10-20 bucks (see here), getting one high DPI sensor will probably cost you about that anyways
