Apple Mighty Mouse: Kann man die Tasten reparieren?

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 23:59:39 -0700

Guten Tag,

bei meiner MightyMouse funktionieren lediglich der Mauszeiger, Scrollball und die beiden seitlichen Tasten.

Was nicht funktioniert, sind die Links-, Rechts- und Mitteltaste.

Lässt sich so etwas reparieren?

Danke!

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 12:26:37 -0700

Meine Maus funktioniert gut, nur das klicken hat sich in den letzten Tagen verändert. Es reicht nicht mehr das leichte Anklicken, sondern man muss mehr Kraft einsetzen und es fühlt sich an als wurde was verklebt sein.

Apple Mighty Mouse: Mighty Mouse doesn't scroll down

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 09:14:39 -0700

The mighty mouse I use has been in use on various computers for a few years now.

I was using it to browse the web when the scrollball stopped scrolling down. It can still go up, left and right but when I scroll down it goes down and spins but there isn't the usual clicking noise and it doesn't do anything on-screen.

Can I fix it at all?

Magic Mouse 2: Fixing Magic Mouse 2 which stopped working on some normal surfaces

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:35:56 -0700

Hi,

Up until yesterday everything was fine, my Apple Magic Mouse 2 was working correctly on all surfaces.

Suddenly, the Magic mouse has stopped working on most regular surfaces and almost all fabrics (moving the mouse may move the cursor a little bit on these surfaces).

It does work on a transparent nylon, a very soft fabric (EDIT: 100% polyester) and on a leather couch and a specific part of my bare knee. (everything else like touch gestures works).

What is the reason for this? the optical sensor?

I already tried cleaning the optical sensor with a cloth, connecting it to another mac and removing the mouse preferences files with no luck.

Thanks :)

Magic Mouse: Batteries wearing out too quickly?

Mon, 14 May 2018 13:16:18 -0700

I recently purchased a new iMac 21.5" and got the magic mouse that came with it. After about a couple of weeks, the magic mouse is reporting a battery level of 63%. It has continuously been left on for the duration but i am not satisfied that the batteries have run so low in a couple of weeks, the keyboard still reports 100%. Should i turn the mouse off at night or is there something else I need to do?

Magic Trackpad 2: I have a Magic Trackpad 2 with a swelling lithium battery

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:24:09 -0700

Is there a replacement battery available for the Lithium Ion battery in my Magic Trackpad 2?

I recognize that this swelling is a potential fire hazard.

Further information: The battery is a TIS 2217-2548 Apple South Asia (Thailand) Limited Product, Lithium Ion Polymer Battery

Another question: Will the Magic Trackpad 2 operate with the battery disconnected or removed as long as it is plugged into my MacBook system?

Everything is working on my Magic Mouse but the laser sensor, itself. I can gesture, scroll, right click, double-click to select a word. BUT the laser no longer comes on, so I can't move the pointer. Can I replace the laser?

Apple Mighty Mouse: How do I open up a Mighty Mouse?

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:33:38 -0700

How do I open up a Mighty Mouse? I got one that can only scroll in one direction.

Thanks guys.

I've just took one apart.

It seems easier than the old Apple pro mouse.

Scrolling works perfectly after clearing out all the dirt around the rollers.

Didn't try the upside down cloth method, as I was looking for a excuse to see the guts of the mighty mouse.

Magic Mouse: Mouse is not Tracking anymore

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 12:29:44 -0700

The problem:

All of a sudden my Magic Mouse stopped tracking my movements (cursor). So here is what I have tried:

1. New batteries, twice

2. Remove mouse from the bluetooth, and readded it

3. Clean the lens... which worked for 2 minutes

4. Clean the lens... again worked for 2 minutes

5. Tried it on other devices, at other places but tracking wasn't doing anything

What it is doing:

1. Left-click

2. Right-click

3. Scrolling

4. Gestures

5. Swipe etc

So here I am, tearing down the Magic Mouse on a Friday night.

What my best guess is that my optical 'sensor' is broken or at least not getting all the contact it should get.

Does anybody have a keen eye, and could tell me what is wrong with it?

Thanks for taking a minute, hopefully anyone is able to help me out.

ps. I get the fact that my ribbon is a bit loosy, due to the fact that it took it apart.

Kind regards,

Jurriaan

Magic Mouse 2: Magic Mouse 2 is no longer working after 2 years. Battery?

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 01:20:38 -0700

Aloha from Maui.

I pulled out my magic mouse 2 last week to use with my laptop.

-Apparently dead

-LEDs on the bottom never turn on

-My guess is that the internal rechargeable battery has died after 2-3 years.

-Since I have nothing to lose, can I open it up and try to swap in a new battery?

-Where do I get a battery for that device?

Thank you,

ron

Magic Mouse: Any way to fix the battery contacts?

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 00:14:54 -0700

When I went to try and turn on this Magic Mouse, the mouse did not turned on.

When I went to change the batteries, I found corrosion on the battery terminals. I changed the batteries anyway, and the mouse didn't work.

It also seems like the battery acid may have gotten inside the mouse, since this contact is not working correctly and does not spring back up. I was able to fix it a little bit and get it to spring up again, but it still sticks.

Is there any way to fix this? The mouse was $80 and it seems like I got lucky and caught it before it could get any worse then it already is. It seems like I caught this corrosion while I have time to clean it and get the mouse working again.
