Abstract: An accessory for a hand-held video game device combines an amplified stereo speaker system and a force feed back effect. The accessory includes an audio connector jack adapted for insertion into the device's headphone outlet. The vibration feed back is activated by and proportional to the sound generated from the device, thus allowing a user of the device to control the vibration feed back by adjusting the volume. The accessory allows the user to further control the vibration feed back for any set level of sound generated from the device.

Abstract: A computer mouse cleaner and method for cleaning a computer mouse device with a computer mouse ball located in an interior ball cavity that has a plurality of mouse contact rollers and a plurality of mechanical parts. The mouse cleaner includes a motor, a shaft rotatably driven by the motor, and a cleaning surface connected to the shaft for rotatable movement therewith for cleaning the plurality of mouse contact rollers and the plurality of mechanical parts in the interior ball cavity. The method includes removing the computer mouse ball from the interior ball cavity; inserting the cleaning surface of the mouse cleaner into the interior ball cavity; and rotating the cleaning surface with the motor of the mouse cleaner so as to cause one or more of the plurality of mouse contact rollers to roll and thereby be cleaned by the cleaning surface.

Abstract: A computer mouse device cleaner uses a cleaning surface that has a diameter that is approximately the same as or larger than the diameter of a mouse ball. The cleaning surface is made of a hook material or an abrasive, absorbent material, and both materials can be used as two cleaning surfaces in a single device or kit. A curved ball cleaning surface made of an abrasive, absorbant material can also be included at an end of the handle of the cleaning device. In use, the cleaning surface is placed into the interior ball cavity of the mouse and rotated to cause the interior mouse rollers to roll. If a liquid cleaning solvent is applied to the hook material, it can be used to clean the mouse rollers and then removed by subsequent use of the abrasive, absorbent material.
