I've been learning soldering recently and I am getting ready to attempt to make the Mighty Mouse a Bluetooth mouse.
I believe I've seen people saying you can't open an Apple mouse without breaking it. Well, I just opened my Wireless Mouse and I didn't break it. In fact, I'm using it right now and I have not noticed anything.
The inside of the Wireless Mouse is very interesting and looks kind of like the Mighty Mouse (Ars Technica posted pictures of the insides of the Mighty Mouse).
The Wireless Mouse was incredibly easy for me to open and I can't notice that I opened it.
Has anyone else tried something similar to this? I should be ordering a Mighty Mouse soon so I'll let you all know of my progress.
If I have time tomorrow, I am going to go to the Apple Store and purchase a Mighty Mouse. I hope I can get it tomorrow. I'm going to try to take pictures if I can borrow a camera.
It seems that this should be as easy as simply replacing a single circuit board and soldering a cable onto the Mighty Mouse circuit board. Wow, it appears they made it easy to do this.
As I don't have a Mighty Mouse yet, I'm unable to provide much information about it yet, however I'm going to create a preparation.
So far, all I can say about requirements is that you will need an Apple Wireless Mouse and an Apple Mighty Mouse, and most likely a solder iron.
I hope to borrow a digital camera and take some pictures through the whole process. And I do hope I end up with a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.
Looking through Ars Technica's "dissecting Mighty Mouse" article, the main circuit board in the Wireless Mouse almost looks like the one in the Mighty Mouse.
Two blue cables connect to the main circuit board with something that looks like it may be a Bluetooth module, but has a metal "box" over it. And then two metal things connect to the battery compartment, which makes sense.
As far as I can tell, the Wireless Mouse is just an Apple Pro Mouse (well, no, not really, but SIMILAR to an Apple Pro Mouse) with a battery compartment and with an extra circuit board for the batteries. Nothing that appears to be major.
I'll update this guide tomorrow, hopefully when I get my Mighty Mouse from the Apple Store. And by then I'll have some more information about the Mighty Mouse.
