wireless mouse as a wireless key paddle

[Bob Novas]

Taking an idea from the folks that use a computer mouse as a morse code key
for kids, what about using the guts of a wireless mouse as the wireless
business end of a wireless paddle. Connect the paddle contacts to the mouse
left and right button connections in the mouse, and use the mouse's USB
dongle and a suitable driver to connect to the radio.  Therein lies the rub
- where do you plug the dongle? Maybe into a RPi that then commands the
keying on the rig? With this idea you've got the wireless electronics part
of the problem solved.
