Magic Mouse 2: Why does my mouse stay on when the switch is off?

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 15:01:45 -0700

My Magic Mouse 2 will sometimes stay off even when I've switched it off. It will still move the cursor on my Mac and is obviously still connected to Bluetooth. It doesn't look like ifixit offers a replacement switch. I suppose I'll open it up and clean it, but any advice would be helpful.

Apple Mighty Mouse: Mouse doesn't turn on after a horrible battery leak.

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 05:05:22 -0700

I have a Mighty Mouse. It suffered from a battery leak when it was in the hands of somebody else. I took it and tried to connect it to my Mac, it kept disconnecting and showed the battery percentage of the mouse wrong. Recently I tried to connect it my iPad and it worked.. but I spoke too soon, and the mouse again stopped working after a week. I opened it and saw there was not much a battery acid damage out there. I tried cleaning the negative contact points but it didn't work. I would like my mouse to be working again.

I saw that one of the screws has been totally covered in acid.

Magic Mouse: Why is right click not working (on both Windows and macOS)

Mon, 15 May 2023 14:02:51 -0700

I recently got a used Magic Mouse 1 for $3 and It seems like the right click function is not really working (it sometimes works) and when right click didn't work, double tap to zoom also didn't work. Is the two black stickers on the capacitive responsible for this ?

Magic Mouse 2: Can I replace its switch(omron D2FC-7-H) to another one?

Thu, 05 May 2022 01:21:17 -0700

Hi.

I have permanent pain in my finger due to a past accident.

I want to use magic mouse 2, but its click pressure is too high for me.

So I want to replace its default switch(omron china D2FC-7-H) with another model.

Would this be possible?

Thank you so much,

GIL B. Chan

Magic Mouse 2: Swipe gesture left/right doesn't work or only works intermittently

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 17:21:25 -0700

For example, in Safari, when I try and do left/right swipe to back and forward on webpages, it only works like 1/5 times or sometimes doesn’t even (it looks like it’s sensing some movement and the previous window will like jump around at the edge of the window, trying to swipe back or forward but not being able to go all the way).

Any way to fix this?

Magic Mouse 2: How can I open the Magic Mouse 2 without tearing it apart/ungluing it

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 05:15:54 -0700

I had this question since I was following the MM2 teardown in iFixit and it basically seemed as if you had to destroy the mouse in order to go in and clean it.

To answer my own question (and I just did this and it worked), you can just stick a spudger in the sides and twist to open 4 clips around the edges and then the top pops off just like that.

I went in and cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol and it seemed to fix my issue of not sensing gestures/phantom gestures.

Magic Mouse 2: My Magic mouse only tracks on glossy surfaces. Please help.

Fri, 23 Apr 2021 23:43:18 -0700

My Magic mouse only tracks on glossy surfaces such as magazines. It has stopped working on any other surface, even mouse pads! Please help!

This device is A1657 and only works on glossy magazines and photographs.

It stopped working on everything else. Simply will not track on mousepads, glass surfaces, linen like bedsheets or even table tops.

This is strangely freaking me out!

i have found another thread on different community based forum and leads to no where.

Magic Mouse 2: Can I fix left click being stuck?

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 15:03:05 -0700

Hey there :) My magic mouse two acts as though the left click is being held down. I’ve taken it apart and the actual trigger component still clicks properly. I disconnected the ribbon connecting the top half of the mouse and turned the mouse on - the problem momentarily disappeared, but other strange things happened (probably because the top part of the mouse was missing!).

Any ideas what the issue might be?

Magic Mouse: Magic Mouse not clicking

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 03:49:27 -0700

I’ve had the Mouse since 2014, and only noticed a problem with it last year. I can move the mouse and the cursor follows, I can scroll too. The problem is when clicking or selecting stuff (e.g. searching for something on Google and then selecting the website I want to visit). How can I fix it? I’ve checked the settings of the Mouse, but it all seems fine, and I’ve tried playing around with it, but there has been no difference.

Magic Trackpad 2: Replacement Taptic Engine part for Magic Trackpad 2

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 11:23:08 -0700

My Magic Trackpad 2 recently stopped “clicking.” It still tracks and recognises clicks/taps, but the entire haptic feedback is gone. I’ve tried various software remedies that I found online (deleting plists, resetting PRAM, etc.) but no luck, even on another device. Seems to be a hardware problem, presumably inside the Taptic Engine.

I see it is not impossible to open up the Magic Trackpad 2 and to get at the Taptic Engine. Does anybody know if I can get a replacement part for it anywhere?

Magic Mouse 2: Is there any way to silence the click on an Apple magic mouse?

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 17:23:11 -0700

I’m wondering if Ican silence the clicking sound by modifying the internals or if the click is one of those common soldered-in buttons which actually makes a click sound itself (sorry don’t know what they’re called).

Magic Mouse 2: Magic 2 does not work since it fell from the table to the floor

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 11:56:39 -0700

The mouse fell from the table to the floor and has not worked again. The pilot on the bottom does not light up even when I put it to charge. It is totally off. I have taken it apart and apparently everything is clean and perfectly positioned. What can I do to try to get it back?

Apple Mighty Mouse: Fixing a MAC USB mouse

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 11:56:27 -0700

Has anyone fixed such a device. I find the magic mouse doesn’t always work reliably. I have an old USB mouse which clearly has a cable problem. Is there a way to disassemble it and reconnect for full function?

Magic Mouse: The right hand switch stopped working after it was dropped

The right hand switch does not work after the mouse was dropped. The lefthand one is fine as is the scrolling function. Is there a strip down to fix the switches?

Magic Mouse: Gestures and Scrolling Not Functioning

Tue, 14 May 2019 20:13:08 -0700

I have the same problem as this person: How can I fix my magic mouse?

BUT after taking my own apart — I am fairly certain it has to do with the “capacitive touch sensors” mentioned in the tear down — is there a way to know what part is damaged just out of curiosity or is it something you would like, need a microscope to see? I removed the damaged black bubble part towards the top of the mouse as the seal was broken - and that stopped some ghost scrolling that was happening. But yeah it is just point and click for me at this point…
