It's a water seal made of gum. I have to search for more, but they where common on old water taps.

About the ball, the best option can be to find a hollow gum ball with near that diameter, then fill it with something heavy. An iron ball of a bearing can work, but you must find the same inner diameter.

New manufactured parts are very expensive if not done in series of 100 or more pieces.

Better is to find some toy ball and adapt it to suit your needs.

And, what about directly a 33mm iron ball?

It can work if you use one of that soft mats that where utilised not so long ago with ball mices.

I've found this. It seems like a silicone container to perfume wardrobes. Filled with an appropriate iron ball can do the trick.

It appears to be perfectly spherical when closed.

Those slickballs seem to be the ideal solution.

There are some on ebay but the proper are the four little ones.

Look at this picture I've found of a big one:

The kit with four balls inside a container is 32mm dia. each.


Search "slickball" on ebay. You'll find some cans(the same) with a big ball and others with four little balls.

On other advertisement they say the same balls have 3.5cm dia. I don't know if this picture can help to know if that balls fit.

Those silicone containers are made specially to transport cannabis resin.....no joke! They have similar tact than real mouse balls and the inside cavity is spherical.

The diameter is 31mm outer and 22mm inside. Once filled with the appropriate iron ball it weights more than enough.



They only have two drawbacks:

The cavity is not centred so if you throw it to rode it makes odd movements like Humpty Dumpty...Not a great problem as the movement of a mouse is usually gently.

The other is a little plane in one of the halves to prevent it rolling when stand up (you can see it on the white-black ball), but I'll try to add some of the same material and then complete the shape grinding it , as I have already done with the burrs of the purple one.


-------------------

About the pulleys I have found cheap 14mm or 15mm dia. tap joints, but they are only 4mm thick, enough with the new ball's conditions I suppose.... The inner dia. is also 4mm, but then they can be pushed in place without glue.


I don't have a Patkany so I don't know if they will fit, but better than nothing.

I've thinking about the iron ball. If I put a smaller one and fill the gap with silicone it will displace the gravity point.

How does the Rat work?

Is it a "Joystick mode" mouse?, or does it have an own protocol?
