I've quit using magic mice on my Mac Pro. I just can't get reliable bluetooth function without erratic mouse behavior. I've gone through Express Lane support, two mice and and external USB bluetooth adapter. I'm back to using the good old Logitech Corded multi-button mouse. I love the touch features of the magic mouse. If I could get one with the cord I would buy it in a second.

You wireless mouse is worth a lot more than a wired mouse. I would sell it on eBay and get enough to buy three wired mice. Besides, trying to convert this without a degree in electrical engineering would prove very difficult. Even with the degree you might not be able to do it.

Everyone is making this way too difficult. The easiest solution would be to keep the bluetooth functionality, and wire a usb cable's power wires into the battery compartment with a regulator or appropriate resistor. If your computer doesn't have bluetooth you can get a dongle for a couple buck on ebay. People have done it with the magic trackpad. Good luck!

"I totally agree with you. The RF is a major problem for me. I have just bought a new iMac and its built to be used with the trackpad which is only available in magic (wireless). I want to do the same with the trackpad, so if anyone has an idea let me know. Money is no object for me, so I'm going to figure it out sooner or later. In the meantime, I suggest you use a top of the range apple laptop and plug into a large monitor. Also, find and delete the bluetooth software as otherwise it keeps turning itself on all the time!...

Good luck brother seeker!"
