If it's an inexpensive peripheral from Logitech then canibalize it for a chunk of PCB with the chip attached. :-) I couldn't find the roller wheel switches that are in a PC mouse so I bought a bunch of closeout mice and cut the switches out of them. -----Original Message----- From: Marcel van Lieshout Sent: Apr 30, 2004 2:01 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [EE:] Cheap and simple wireless There is a list of distributors on their site: http://www.nvlsi.com/index.cfm?obj=menu&act=displayMenu&men=6 Last time I checked prices with my local distr. was sept. 2003: 50x EUR 5,12 1000x EUR 4,10 I got a message from Nordic a short while ago that they increased production and that Logitech chose this chip for a new line of peripherals. So there is a good chance prices are down a bit by now. But how to solder them "at home"? Marcel Shawn Wilton wrote: > Cost?
