I turned an old yellowed £10 Apple Macintosh mouse into a wireless modern mouse. I absolutely love it!

For those wondering - you can still do a right click with this mouse (on macOS at least), by pressing Ctrl on the keyboard and the mouse button. IIRC this feature dates back to the first Macs.

I modded my ADB mouse, but I used a Bluetooth donor mouse so I don’t need a receiver to plug into the computer. I use it for my iPad Pro as it has a retro Apple skin.

one of the best videos in long time man! please do a follow up video and give that cord hole a purpose. really like the 3.5 mm charging idea. this is the kind of content i’d like to see more of. modding cool old modern tech and making it more useful on a reasonable budget. good stuff man!👌

Strip a laptop down to fit it in the Mac case. And regarding a battery you can get one if it's installed in an item so you just need to find a cheap item with pre-installed battery.

Maybe you should cut the one button of the mouse since its too big and divide it into two buttons. Then you can have left plus right ... I know it messes up the look but.. hey functionality also.
