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.
Disassemble Your Mouse
Lots of the screws are hidden under the bottom pads and or stickers.
Shorten Your Cord
I snipped about 2.5 feet off of mine. Your choice here, you know what you want.
Rejoin the Wires
Solder together or solder into the holes of the mouse circuit board. Insulate the wires.
Reassemble Mouse
Take care to note that the buttons still click fine.
Enjoy
You now have a wired mouse with the convenience of wireless.
