GoKawiilEx-CS:GO caster Bastian Recha builds local tool to auto-generate 3D-printable mouse shells
Bastian Recha, known online as Unskilledcast, posted a demo on X of Mausstudio, software that imports an STL file of a mouse PCB and automatically detects button switches, scroll wheel, sensor, and screw hole locations to build a custom printable shell around them. Recha says the tool runs entirely locally using mathematical algorithms rather than AI, and is still a work in progress. The demo used PCBs from a Razer Viper V2 Pro and a Zaunkoenig M2K, and showed adjustable dimensions, hump placement, weight-reducing cutouts, and a customizable battery shelf.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By automating detection of a mouse's internal components, Mausstudio could lower the technical barrier for hobbyists who want bespoke mouse shapes without manually modeling around sensors and switches. Recha's emphasis on avoiding AI-generated geometry may appeal to a 3D printing community wary of AI tools, framing the project as a transparent, math-based alternative. Its future usefulness will likely depend on how broadly it can support different PCB designs beyond the two shown in the demo.
- Mausstudio auto-detects switches, sensor, scroll wheel, and screw holes from an imported mouse PCB STL file.
- The tool runs locally and uses algorithms rather than AI to generate shell geometry.
- Demoed features include adjustable dimensions, weight-cutouts, and a customizable battery shelf; the project is still unfinished.
Razer Viper V2 Pro Mouse — The Razer Viper V2 Pro is one of the PCBs featured in Bastian's Mausstudio demo, making it a great base for anyone wanting to experiment with custom 3D-printed mouse shells. Its lightweight, high-performance design is ideal for esports enthusiasts looking to mod their gear and explore the custom shell generator himself.
