hey, nice job Kerm.

edit,
Confused

of Orange and Yellow, which one is clockline and which one is data?

also, if Im wiring in an external power supply, where does the negative end of the batteries go?

It depends on the port. Not all are orange and yellow. Here's the relevant info:


Code:
; +----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
; | PS/2 pin number      | 5     | 1     | 3     | 4     |
; | PS/2 pin description | Clock | Data  | Ground| Vcc   |
; +----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
; | TI jack terminal     | Tip   | Ring  | Base  | N/A   |
; | TI jack wire colour  | Red   | White | Braid | N/A   |
; +----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
; | Power                | N/A   | N/A   | 0V    | +5V   |
; +----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
;                                .-.
;         6.-..-.5               \_/ <- Red (Tip)
;         /o [] o\               |_| <- White (Ring)
;       4 o      o 3             | | <- Base (Ground)
;         \ o  o /               |_|
;         2'-..-'1              /   \
;       PS/2 (socket)           \___/  TI minijack

so if Im wiring in an external power supply to my mouse, what do I do with the negative end of the battery?

The negative end of the wire has to go to both PS/2 gnd and the TI-link cable ground. Don't forget a voltage limiter to keep you to about 5v.

will 6v be too much?

other than that, ownage, now I just need to make a battery case inside my mouse

Ah, I've considered that approach before as well. 6v is non-optimal, but it shouldn't harm most mice.
