Does anyone have any experience with pulling +5v from a usb connection?
How reliable is it? How dirty is it?

I've wondered about this for charging/powering my digital camera while I'm transfering pics from it.

It has to be good enough to consistantly power devices, so I'd say pretty good.

The +5V is regulated, but it will sag slightly under load.
The output is protected at 0.5A - if you attempt to draw more than that the port will be disconnected, and windows will pop up an error message.

That sure looks like a cordless mouse to me... so how is it drawing power from the USB port?
Nice work though.
Edit: On closer examination, there seems to be a spot on the mouse for a cord to come out... but no cord... ?

So you OC'ed your palms?
All the hair on them means they get hot extra fast.
I appreciate the idea of cooled palms, but what do you do with the mousing hand that makes it sweat so much? After a few hours of FPS my palm is only moist.
