Sanding took a few nights, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.

Unfortunately, at 20" long, it's a bit unwieldy next to my tenkeyless.

I may try chopping the buttons out to shorten the whole thing, but I wouldn't attempt it without a dremel.

NEAT! I'm shortening a Rollermouse to about 10", the shortest you can make it and still retain native functionality.

One of the things I'm doing is cutting away several inches of the cover on the right side to expose more of the actual rollerbar. Ultimately I want to see if I can build it into my modded keyboard.
