Build Your Own SpaceMouse: A DIY 3D Input Controller Kit for Makers, Engineers & CAD Enthusiasts

Looking for a powerful, cost-effective alternative to commercial 3D navigation devices? This DIY SpaceMouse kit allows you to build your own high-performance input controller using a custom design I developed from the ground up. It's 3D-printed, open, and ready to be assembled.

🔧 Features:

* Custom-designed 3D-printable chassis

* 6 degrees of freedom via gyroscope + magnetometer combo

* USB-compatible microcontroller (compatible with Arduino IDE)

* Full kit includes sensors, electronics, screws, and assembly tools

* Modular and repairable—great for learning and tinkering

* Spare parts available for most components

* Firmware is open source: customize the RGB ring and 8 buttons

* Built-in calibration mode for easy adjustments

🎥 I’ll be hosting a live YouTube build session where I assemble the kit from start to finish. I’ll walk through the full process, answer questions, and dive deeper into the features—perfect if you want more info or are unsure about the build.

⚙️ Skill Level: High-Intermediate

This project is accessible to anyone with basic electronics and maker experience, also with steady hands. You’ll receive all the parts and detailed documentation to guide you every step of the way.
