1st driver doesn't look too bad, second one I wouldn't buy that.
Instead get a 7$ greenie pen, inside you will find a driver just like that or very similar.
Plus you get to keep the DPSS and host.

Solder each pin of the diode to the corresponding tab on the driver, be careful not to break the pins when you can't avoid to bend them..
Battery - to the spring, battery + to the diodes case.
The spring on the odicforce would go on the "switched V-", unless you'd want to use your own (external) switch.

Thanks. Now I want around 250mw from these common 5.6mm 300mw from ebay. Could you recommend a current setting ?

Well if you have all the info about the diode, why not just use those values?
You can always up the current later on when you feel comfortable, you know
people here routinely drive all kinds of diodes at 150-200% of the suggested operating current.:whistle:

Just read the description again and it says the V+ input is already connected to the LD+ , so do I still have to solder a wire , or can I just bend the case pin to the LD+ ?

I don't understand your drawing at all.
What driver are you using after all? The odic-force?
Well I never used one of those before so I can only guess.

Also, your picture looks wrong to me, because the case pin is the anode,
the pin conterclockwise form the case pin is the cathode, and the pin opposite
the cathode is unused....

Is this going to be a pointer or a labby.
I mean is it an issue in your case that the diodes case pin is positive?
