The main methods of connecting mice there are two: wired (via USB-OTG), and wireless (via Bluetooth). Consider each of them in more detail.

Method 1: USB-OTG

OTG technology (on-the-GO) is used on Android smartphones almost from the moment they appear and allows you to connect to mobile devices All sorts of external accessories (mice, keyboards, flash drives, external HDD.) Through a special adapter, which looks like this:

In the main mass, adapters are produced under USB - MicroUSB 2.0, but they are increasingly found cables with a port type USB 3.0 - Type-C.

OTG is now supported on most smartphones of all price categories, but in some budget models of Chinese producers this option may not be. So before proceeding to perform the following actions described below, look on the Internet characteristics of your smartphone on the Internet: Support SFG is necessarily indicated. By the way, this feature can be obtained on allegedly incompatible smartphones by installing a third-party core, but this is a topic of a separate article. So, to connect the OTG mouse, do the following.

1. Connect the adapter to the phone with the appropriate end (microUSB or TYPE-C).

Attention! The Type-C cable will not suit the microUSB and vice versa!

2. To the full yusb at the other end of the adapter, connect the cable from the mouse. If you use a radio physical, a receiver must be connected to this connector.

Hi to all homemade workers, many who use the computer feel the superiority of the mouse and its convenience, but if you use the mouse on the phone, because it is also convenient, and if you have a keyboard, your phone turns into a mini PC, in this article I will tell you how to make a mouse for Do it yourself with your own hands under Micro USB.

To my surprise in our time, few people know that there are support for the connection of third-party equipment in their phones. The idea came to mind to realize it, it will not be so difficult. Almost everyone has a phone with OTG support, that is, we can use various devices from uSB connection. USB OTG adapters are sold in the markets, but their use for such a device, as uncomfortable for the mouse. That is why I decided to make a mouse separately for the phone, it is convenient when using the Internet, you can draw a mouse and even play. Before making, make sure that the necessary mouse is needed to assemble the miracle with your own hands for the phone, we will need:
Wired computer mouse.
MICRO USB plug from any charging, data transfer wires, or purchased, you can find in any radio car market for about 15-25 rubles.
Tools: soldering iron up to 40 watt, rosin, solder and thermoclay.
The housing for Micro USB is the one that connects to the phone is sold complete with the plug themselves.

All necessary assembly can be started.

The first step will be a disassembly of Micro USB, taken from unnecessary charging.

There are two solutions, or rather, if you have a micro USB rubber case, then it must be cut in half a stationery knife, but if it is plastic, then you need to get two latches on it on each side, then you will get access to our plug.

The next step is the splitter of the plug, for this sting of the soldering iron, it is necessary to rest up to the width of 1.5-2 mm, lower the hot in the rosin and cover the solder, since everything is in micro yusb miniaturn. We open carefully, do not hide the plastic part of the plug.

After the decay, you can start the choice of the future telephone mouse, the choice fell on the long-range mouse with the recessed wires at the end of the plug.

Mouse need to be released from old USBHe will not need it, we will put Micro USB in his place. We make it easy to the stationery knife.

Now the electronics assembly remains, the same thin-skinned soldering iron, there are four wires from the mouse, we don't need a wire screen, it is the same pseudofolg film.

After the wires are served, you can study the pinout connection.

The fact is that if you just solder all four wires from the mouse to Micro USB, then nothing will work, for the operation of the additional equipment, the black wire that needs to be connected to the side opposite to it, simply turn the micro USB and take a jumper from two sides. From the wire.

The colors of the wires are made not in vain, the red wire is a plus power, black minus, that is, the most weight, green - power supply, plus, and white is the power of data-minus.

On the pinout soldering the wires from the mouse to Micro USB, everything is quite simple, the number of micro yusb are shown in the photo (do not confuse the sides) and also, the main thing is not to close the wires with each other. This looks like a wooden plug on top and bottom.

So that the mouse looks worthily needed to put everything into the body, (homemade after all does not mean ugly), I was lucky, the body got plastic and collapsible, slightly sneaking all this work with a thermoclayer closing our Micro USB.

Thanks to this experiment, we find out if you can connect the mouse, a flash drive or keyboard via USB port to the phone.

This would give a phone mini computer with the ability to set, such as text files, and so on.

The first experimental device was chosen by the A60 + smartphone from Lenovo. Operating system - Android 2.3.6.
