COMPAQ Wireless Optical Mouse

Power saving wireless mouse mod: Though rechargeable, eventually the NiMH cells WILL have to be replaced. This mouse did not come with an ON/OFF switch nor does it even have the eventual sleep/auto off on idle feature. This mod will make the mouse only powered when in use, featuring some micro-contacts to detect the movements.
