I'm the hacker behind the Open Source Mouse Repo.

I still have some ADNS2620 sensors in my stash (yes, that was a typo that is now fixed). Look into the readme and see that there is a company called PixArt that seems to be the only source for some of these parts. I did get a bite (mouse bite?) from their rep at the time of the OSHWA Summit 2 years ago, but they went crickets. This project could get resurrected if there is a replacement sensor chip. I kind of like the Arduino Leonardo + ADNS sensor, and not interested in just a breakout of an 'all in one' mouse sensor.

If yer interested in getting a full kit or an ADNS sensor, please comment on the github issue tab https://github.com/biomurph/Mouse/issues/7



It's not just "a company". Avago sold the IP to Pixart (after a long protracted patent battle) and exited the sensor market.

Now all old Avago models are manufactured by Pixart.


Avago's datasheets were thorough and easy to understand. Pixart datasheets, if you can find one, are incomplete and full of grammatical non-sequiturs and ambiguities. I really miss Avago.
