Shortening a Mouse's Tail

I like to use a mouse other than the touchpad on my laptop. However, the cord is very inconvenient. A mouse is designed with a long cord for a desktop computer. Why not use a wireless? I get tired of battery worries especially when I am on it all day long.

Lots of the screws are hidden under the bottom pads and or stickers.

I snipped about 2.5 feet off of mine. Your choice here, you know what you want.

Solder together or solder into the holes of the mouse circuit board. Insulate the wires.

Take care to note that the buttons still click fine.

You now have a wired mouse with the convenience of wireless.
