Knex Auto-Clicker

This is a simple little device I came up with that clicks a mouse. Then, it clicks it again. And again, and again, and again, until you unplug it or your house blows up.

I made this for my friend so he could use it for runescape. I checked in and he had a inventory full of stuff, including a rune axe (my friend says thats good!).

Just so you know, I made a base that cradles a wireless mouse as well as a wired mouse. If you have a wireless mouse, skip steps 7+8, and if you have a mouse with a wire, skip steps 5+6.

Credit to Sypran for the original idea.

Thanks!
