How do you open a microsoft mouse

This is a really lame answer. Have you actually read the product guide? It says absolutely nothing about how to open the battery compartment. Why not provide a picture and say where to press and lift? This answer looks like an automated email reply. This thread is locked.

Most things are selected with a single click, and opened with a double-click. The clear-packaged "Mouse on a Chip" is rather pretty as chips go. It might make interesting jewelery. I managed to get it off the board by heating the whole thing over a gas flame on the reverse side of the board till the whole thing was smoldering and the solder was melted, and then THWACKing on a moderately hard surface.

The house smelled bad for a week, in spite the exhaust fan; this sort of thing should probably be done outside if you're going to do it. Reply 3 years ago. Reply 4 years ago. Question 3 years ago on Introduction. Hey DOC: I have also taken apart some wired optical mice for fun. I am guessing that i only need to keep 2 lines active, and can defeat all the others. While reading the steps I was thinking that this would be a great Maker Space item. Often students want to take electronics apart and see what's inside.

The STEM teachers could use mice disection into a lesson. Reply 5 years ago. My Mouse a model is different to get into - nasty Microsoft!!!

Two screw holes present, but unused, at the non-cable end, none at the cable end. Half hour to get in and five mins to fix - normal then! Just long hair wrapped around the wheel stopping it running properly - I'd blame the dog but I haven't got one!? Still fair amount of other fluff and dust removed so probably needed to do it soon anyway - now just some remotes to refurb.

But i not able to get it. Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. Most of my mouse failures have been mechanical: switches that become flakey, wheels that break, springy plastic bits that cease to be springy. I'd guess your cable; the roll-up part shouldn't have any electrical effect unless it's just the roll-up part that's broken. Reply 11 years ago on Step 3. You can see the buttons as black rectangles with gray "buttons. And typically you can either remove and relocate the buttons, or just parallel alternate buttons watch out if the mouse electronics connects to all three terminals of the switch, though.

Is there some software to let you use this in any way you like? I'm thinking robotics where the optics could be used for positioning, the wheel for touch-sense and the buttons as bump-detectors. Any suggestions? I've seen some use a PIC as an adaptive interface but software to change it's use from a PC-based robot?

I have a logitech mouse I was trying to take apart to make some other project and it looked like there was no solder under the microswitches on the pins..
