I believe I have 2 of the mice on that list. One had a broken button but the optical sensor still worked. I'm willing to part with it. Let me double check that it has the right sensor. I'll know by this afternoon.

I do in fact have the A3080 from a Fatality. It is currently at the space. How can I get this to you? Also, I'd like to look at the quadcopter frame or other ICs you have.

     im still taking it apart ,    i plan to leave the power distribution board inside an lipo deans connector connected to the  power distribution board,   you  just would need to solder esc's to it an your almost ready to fly ,  \

       let me look though my shelves an ill right down all the ic's an parts i have an willing to trade ,          

    the optical flow sensor from a mouse will need more parts .
A complete soldered breakout board is bout 60$  but thats with pcb an focal lens mounted with it ,    

  tryin to get the sensor without spending more $  an since i have a new Frame i have no use for this quadcopter i learned to fly with ,,  its tough i built it so it could smash stuff other then its self ,  lol     believe me it will lawn dart into the ground before breakin  , 

      very dangerous to be so strong since someones head probally give in before it would , eek

    ive flown it with 10 inch props an 12 inch props ,   its more Agile with 10 props but carries more with the 12 inch props ,       this frame was my learning an testing frame

 
    xcopterCalc - Calculator for MultiCopter http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm

this will help you figure out which motors , props an esc to use for max efficiency


as far meeting up so you can look at it ,   ill be glad to run it down there or meet you somewhere ,    today i cant as i have my ride in pieces on the floor ,  but if you would hold onto that sensor for me ill be rolling again before end of the week,
