Background

I kept letting my Corsair Scimitar Wireless mouse go flat — not because charging is hard, but because it requires remembering. Plugging in a cable at night meant thinking about it, and that was enough friction for it to get skipped.

So instead of fixing my behaviour, I fixed the problem.

This dock is designed so that putting the mouse down at the end of the day automatically starts charging. No cable to pick up, no decision to make — just slide the mouse into place and walk away.


Design Intent

This is a low-profile slide-in charging sled, not a cradle or stand.

Key ideas behind the design:

  • Minimal height so the mouse can be slid on naturally

  • Wide, stable base so the dock doesn’t move around on the desk

  • Simple geometry that can be iterated and modified easily

  • Designed around habit removal, not reminders

The goal is that this becomes invisible in daily use.


Current State (Iterative / Experimental)

This model is part of an ongoing iteration.

Things this version focuses on:

  • Correct footprint and stability

  • Comfortable slide-in motion

  • Space for a USB-C connector (direct or magnetic)

  • Grub screw holes to hold the USB in the correct alignment top and bottom

Things that may change in future revisions:

  • Additional alignment guides

  • Magnetic USB-C optimisation

  • Small ergonomic refinements

  • Embedded magnet to help line up mouse in dock

I’m sharing this version to document the process and to invite improvements.


Charging Approach

This dock is intended to work with:

  • A short USB-C extension, a USB A - USB C cable or

  • A magnetic USB-C cable (recommended for connector longevity)

The dock itself is passive — no electronics, just geometry.


Printing Notes

  • Prints flat, no supports required

  • PLA+ works well; PETG recommended for durability

  • Add rubber feet or desk liner underneath for grip

  • Weight can be added inside the base if desired


Why Share This

This isn’t a polished consumer product — it’s a practical solution to a real, everyday annoyance.

If it helps someone else stop waking up to a dead mouse, that’s success.

Feedback, remixes, and improvements are very welcome.
