Been really wanting to build a Borg headpiece and was just wondering if anyone else has successfully made one before. My main question is how to adapt a laser pointer so it can run off batteries with an external switch. I've already tried a few of the basoc cat toy laser pens, but i'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions.
 
I actually tried something similar a while back, and adapting the switch was the trickiest part. You'll need to rewire the leads to a small external toggle and use a proper battery pack
