I find the Apple mouse in my "garage" , and i buy for 2.74 usd an optical mouse ( on ebay).
I prepare the Apple mouse by clean the interior with my dremell ,
I make a hole on the Apple logo , and glue the part of the optical device.

On the electronic of the usb mouse , i'm soldering some cables to put the switch and the blue led outside the circuit board.
I change the cable , because the new cable was black and it's not the same color of the Apple mouse !
I put a small piece of black plastic on the "Apple" hole.

I cut a small piece of this white foam to glue under the circuit board ,
I put all in the Apple mouse , glue all the elements .
Close the box ...

Et voila !!
An new-old Apple Mouse USB !!
This mouse works great , with the same noise when you click ( it's a coincidence) but only the left clic ! (Perhaps it's good for some persons ...)
Thanks for your attention , and see you later for new aventures .
