Sound on :)
I plan on using this mouse well into the future and got physically ill at the thought of having to fish out a micro USB cable every couple of months to charge it's battery. So I reverse engineered the power/switch PCB and redesigned it USB C in mind :)
This was originally made to act as a transplant PCB but since a few people have shown interest in it I am working on a full BOM so that it could be ordered fully assembled from Pcbway :)

great work and upgrade

I'd love a mouse that uses Qi charging.

Aren't there any pin compatible usb-c connectors? There will be many manufacturers wanting to do a quick drop-in replacement to upgrade to usb-c.

Beautiful, clean work.

Kensington uses USB C on the TB550

I have one of these too, annoying af. IT also needs special software to pair it to a dongle after it sits for a few months :/

i don't trust wireless peripherals.
MrKnowItAll1903
Why?
sirkekes
they need recharging, get lost, signal interference, just prefer corded stuff

I thought I was pretty slick replacing the battery on a wireless mouse.

Why not get one of those magnetic usb cables? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612W7936jfL._AC_SL1024_.jpg

@op How about a wired USB C mouse? I can’t find any in the market. Only USB A.

Now it the m575 can just have a middle mouse button that doesn't wear out 6 months out...

I pretty much often use middle mouse on my Logitech, so I'm familiar with that, I had to rebind my melee button to page forward

My middle button didn't dare break after it saw what I did to it's siblings.

I've replaced some mouse switches with new ones, but damn.

I love my MX Ergo. It's solved so much pain for me. I'm not crazy that it still uses micro USB. I am simply happy that it doesn't use mini USB

Wait til next year, it’ll be friggin LBX
docLaughable
What's LBX?
CongratsYouAreHereNow
New connector for 2025, Laser Bus Exchange, an “update” to USB Universal Serial Bus. Promises more speed more efficiently

I use the version of this to go from USB C to Mini USB B for my PS3 controller, as I actually have magnetic quick connect USB cables but they didn't make a magnetic Mini USB attachment.
ProChoiceBaby
Lol exactly what I thought.

That gif wouldn't have been nearly as interesting

I groove with your intention regarding the cable. I have bought several of these doodads and have hot-glued them to a few devices - headset, webcam, etc. My current wireless mice use AA batteries and don't have charge ports tho.

I have a few somewhere but that's the problem. They grow legs 🤣 gluing them is a step I'd have to take for sure
