Think about it...thirty years from now, hacking Apple devices will be dominated by hacking an iPhone 7 just to add the headphone jack back in.
Think about it...thirty years from now the iPhone 7 won't be the slightest bit relevant.
think about it... this mouse isn't the slightest bit relevant and it still was used...
use your brain. Ailex.
+Mastur Yoda for the win.
😅😅😅
HA
There are many words I could use to describe Amy Schumer. "Hilarious" is NOT one of them...
The only thing hilarious about her is how she is actually considered a legitimate comedian.
When Amy Schumer said she was going to be a comedian, everyone laughed at her.
.. Nobody's laughing now.
She's not hilarious.
💀💀💀
someone needs to give kipkay the definition of hack.
Kipkay is the type of guy who shops at garage sales for 3 hours at a time
Wait there are magnets in mice?
*breaks all mice in house *
The literal definition of a "sleeper mouse"
How to update your outdated ball mice to bluetooth!
What you'll need:
An outdated ball mouse
A Bluetooth mouse
AND a Dremel.. lol
i actually thought you would hack the original ball mouse to be used with bluetooth and ditch the cable... what's the point of a guts swap, thats not a hack
It's funny because even the one button dosent work now. It needs the old motherboard.Great work kipkay....
take a optical mouse and hack it to scan documents lol
No shes not!
Back when Apple actually used screws...
They use screws with torx bits?
Some nitpicks:
That particular mouse came out either in September 1986 (with the Apple IIGS) or in 1987 with the Macintosh II and SE. I say either, because I don't know for sure if the IIgs shipped with the mouse from the very start or not, but the 1987 Macintosh models definitely did. I would venture to guess that it did in fact come out with the IIgs in 1986. Not 1985.
The four diodes you salvaged were not visible light LEDs, but actually 4 infrared LEDs, and 4 infrared receivers for the tracking function.
Also, while all wireless mice are sometimes colloquially referred to as Bluetooth mice, a mouse that comes with a dongle, or USB receiver, is almost never a Bluetooth mouse. In addition, Bluetooth mice are generally far more expensive than the non-Bluetooth kind.
Sorry to be so nitpicky. I grew up with that particular mouse :-)
Unlike those who criticize you for modifying it, I'm gratified that you have extended its usefulness.
shut up nerd.
You can't cut a board, they are made in layers of copper wires embedded in the plastic. So if you are cutting one, be weary that you might damage your board.
At 1:10 , what you're calling white LEDs are actually photodiodes, ie. the receiving ends of the optical forks made by each pair of 1 red LED facing 1 photodiode. Between them, the movements of the ball of the mouse will rotate discs with radial slits, and that's how the electronic chip on the mouse is able to determine the movements of the mouse along each axis (2 pairs per axis are needed to determine how many times the light beam was interrupted and in which direction the disc is rotating).
So we took a new mouse and made it so it can't right click or scroll anymore. Brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? /s
>Amy Schumer
>Hilarious
wat?
Fr tho
or you can use that Blue tooth mouse you bought
MinerQuick but that's not as cool
ik
genious detected
maybe you can make the one button work as two. have a pivot in the middle of the big button so you push the left side of the button for leftclick and the right side for right click.
Glad you sanitized that. Now that mouse is SQUEAKY clean 😉
ok so this guy is like 40 and still doing youtube that is some real dedication
What does that have to do with anything? Is there some age limit for youtube that only you know about? Did you see that there's even a video with an old man in it? What the hell? Go police that video, too! Go! The webbernets need you and your observation of how old someone might be! Why are you wasting your time?! Fuck! Go! Jesus christ! There are people who may be 12 who need to be told that they're 12 and people who are 30 who need to be told that, too! You are wasting your talent at the grocery store looking at expiration dates and commenting on how old the milk is!
I vomited at 3:45
She's hilarious..... suuurrreeee she is
So instead of just using that better wireless mouse you destroyed, you put it into the apple mouse?
Alright
the old apple mouse is vintage. people love vintage things lol. id do it
"Amy Schumer... She's hilarious!"
He must be killed
Jamie Dickinson Sometimes she’s funny! Only when she’s stealing someone else’s material though.
Only sad thing is that tux the cat never got to see this
If you put a piece of plastic in the center of the mouse button so that it acts like a fulcrum, you can set it up so that it can left or right click.
U have the best add transitions 😂
You are wrong about a lot of things in this video:
1.those things you salvaged are not white and red diodes-they are IR diodes and IR recievers.They are used for tracking the ball movement.
2.The mouse is not bluetooth. It just uses 2.4GHz, that does not mean bluetooth.
3.The thing you call laser is actually the optical sensor. Laser and optical mice are completely different.
And why waste a mouse to stick it in this garbage?
For the vintage feels, dude. I know many people who still use IBM keyboards.
+Element Finland also because it's a hobby. people find stuff like this very fun and enjoyable.

I don't think destroying a mouse is a reasonable hobby... I also do DIY electronics projects, but I try not to destroy anything that works and is usefull. Also, that mouse is from Apple-the shittiest and most expensive(for no reason) brand, but it seems people like paying more for the same or less(M&Ms, Oreo, Nutella, Rolex and all the other rip-off's). There are brands that just rebrand a chinese product and sell it for more, a lot more. I am sick of people not seeing this trend and continuing to feed companies. Got a little carried away, sorry. :D
I know the feel of rant, so I understand, but as for the hobby part, that's your personal preference. While you may not want to "Destroy" (I use the word disassemble, since he's putting the parts to use in some way and not outright wasting it) this kind of stuff, some find the fun in breaking stuff down and doing something unique with all the pieces, like making a wireless 1980's mouse. Not too practical, but I can see the fun in it.
you're not a horder but you have a 10 year old mouses around your house
Hi there, I would like to see if you will be able to make a wireless in-ear monitor system, including the reciever? Would it be possible?
congrats, you just made a mouse.... from a mouse
ha, cool! I love retro hacks like these!
Thanks!
no prob, keep it up!
+kipkay I remeber watching your videos for Make Magazine back in '08!!
I feel like he didn't show it working cause it didn't work
Why wouldn't it work lol
So weird to see something with the Apple logo having normal screws
you sound like Kermit the frog
I have made this mod though it is wired. I think, looking back you could cut the mouse button carefully down the centre with a dremel and separate it into two buttons.

imagine getting in an argument with kipkay
I came for the ad.
Guys, this is what you call a retro mod. AKA: Adding new technology to something old. quit hating on Kip
Russians use this for cs go
As an apple fan boy seeing you break this beautiful mouse makes me cry a bit.....
but he is actually re injecting new life in this thing
Apple fan boy with the name windows xp
Quits that is so true
I'm not even an apple fan and I felt awful about the mouse too
where do you get all of your gear?
With a large button like that.
You have a bit of space for a track pad on this mouse. lol
Nice, kipkay you're always coming up with awesome things! Keep up the good work!
Exacly ( :
Whaaaaat? red LEDs? white LEDs? really? nothing of that, they are IR leds an phototransistors for detecting the rotation of the ball
you could have placed a piece of plastic on the bottom of the Apple button so it would hit the two micro switches and you could right or left clicks?
Hey, how do you ground yourself when working on electronics? Whenever I take them apart, I seem to fry them, even if I know exactly what component I need to replace.
My old KipKay is back again!!
Where'd I go?

Dear mr.Kipkay,
first, I really wanna tell I like your videos so much! Been subscribed for @bout 3 years now.
But.. my question is: could you show me how to do this with a (Modern) mouse that already has a lens and stuff? I have a gaming mouse which is wired which I'd love to make wireless!
Thank you very much in advance!
Much love!
Sander, NL
Pyroteam Drenthe always use wired mouse for gaming as it has minimum lag if you play shooters or games that need fast reaction from you a wired mouse is a must there are wireless one's but they are somewhat expensive.
been subbed since when you were at 1M!!!
Samuel Sujuno been here since 300k... 😏
Destroy a wireless mouse to put it in an old mouse.....LOGIC
Its more for a decoration thing but why he would do it to such old tech is beyond me
You just changed it mouse cover
Will this work with newer mice?
I hope this is satire. If it isn't, then in answer to your question; Yes, it will.
/cast: disenchant target Old Mac Mouse (epic)
Lootbox: [8 LEDS (uncommon), 1 Spring (epic)]
Enchanting skill increased to 389
Was that from a Macintosh LC?
i love to ponder on how you organise all of those salvaged materials
You literally have 4 comments in a row.. right next to each other. XD LOL
>dismantles a bluetooth mouse in order to make an outdated mouse bluetooth
yes but the point of it was if you like old Style mouses but want your bluetooth you could have it
lol. I figured. I was just joking
yes
how do you turn it off?
I think this mouse would be improved with pitting the scroll wheel somewhere. maybe on the side.
Diary of a hoarder.
How to DESTROY a perfect Apple mouse.
in 2016, these were much more common.
It's his mouse so, his choice.
ok for the record they were most likely IR emitters & detectors you pulled out. useful stuff if you know how to use it :). also the wire is great for various stuff... if you know what your doing an old mouse is a treasure trove.
as for the mouse ball i made some non return valves for a water pump science fair project years back. their cool being its silicone outside & steel ball inside.
0:01 My friend has the same mouse on the far right
It's wireless and it works on 2.4GHz frequency, but it's not using bluetooth. You can't connect it to a bluetooth-enabled device, you have to use it with the provided adapter.
this is the dumbass thing I've ever heard why would I want to use up the one USB port on my laptop for a mouse when I can just use the internal Bluetooth receiver also as a manufacturer wouldn't it save me $ not having to make those dongles
not every computer has an internal bluetooth receiver. I'm sure my desktop doesn't. My laptop however does, but not my older laptop, but pretty much every computer has 1 or more USB slots, and if they're used, there's usb hubs.
Wireless mice were introduced on the market, because technology Bluetooth was not yet popular and barely anyone had BT adapters build into their computer. BT dongles were still too expensive for average consumer. That's why manufacturers started making their own wireless dongles. They were not as flexible as BT, but cost a fraction of the price, were but good enough for the use and worked out of the box for virtually any computer.
Since it's easier and cheaper for manufacturers to keep using the same technology, instead of trying to promote Bluetooth, those "2.4GHz wireless" mice are still far cheaper than BT-enabled models. Most people don't care about one used up USB port, so they will choose a cheaper model.
That said, I agree it is better to use a Bluetooth mouse, if you have BT built into your computer. That's why I bought a $50 Bluetooth mouse, instead of a $2 "wireless" one.
kip! i am already 3 years watching your vids but i never understand: how old are you?
"this mouse has been used...and abused" xD
Can u make video for making wired keyboard to wireless.
Cheers
Kip, when growing up what was your first item you modified or made as a kid?
The cat is going to play with mouse balls?
LOL. I thought that joke was obsolete. So I thought I would mention it as he was removing balls from mice.
oow just wwow
I don't know about you but this video and the previous one really remind me of the projects Kipkay used to do on this channel! I missed these videos!!
The noise at 0:20 scared my cat away! :D
what about the clicker adjustment? the mouse button just landed on the clicker without any fitting/adjustments?
i commented that too
Hey Kipkay, can you sell your previous projects so people can buy it? kinda like the king of random? Im pretty young but im really in to computers and would like to buy some of your things!
Imagine playing Doom with this mouse. One button, no scroll wheel, so some of my favorite MODs, such as Project Brutality, won't work to how I like my controls. Right click for secondary fire, pressing down the scroll wheel for dual wield/special, would all have to be binded to my keyboard.
What's wrong Kipkay where's Domino in a video about mice?
When he took out the roller ball
Is it actually bluetooth, or is it just a 2.4g wireless mouse？ Cuz most
computer won't need a bluetooth receiver dongles nowadays. Also, how do
you even enter pairing mode without the right buttons on the apple
chasis?
Fun project. But the only trouble is the mouse is always on and the to replace the battery you need to open the mouse.
your content has been getting a lot better lately! keep it up!
That's impressive, but not something I'd undertake. The Bluetooth mouse has two mouse buttons and a scrollwheel while the old Apple mouse has one mouse button and nothing else.

Do you have to open all of the screws to turn it off
You just destroyed $800 worth of hardware (even used). Congrats
How did he use $800 in materials?
He destroyed an original Mac mouse.... Unless he just said that it was genuine and it wasn't
Holy crap, someone will pay me $800 for my 1 button Apple mouse? Consider mine up for sale
How much was the mouse at the garage sale? I like vintage things
At first I thought he was going to get rid of the cable and solder on some sort of Bluetooth receiver but I'm not exactly sure if that's possible. I'm guessing in the end it was easier to just replace the whole circuit board.
Cmon kip! Amy Schumer?! Gross!
So you made a mouse that no longer works for mac... and no longer viable for a PC? Why?
Why can't you use it on a mac?
uh... you can use it on any computer.. even the original wired one...
wired/cord
I didn't go over how to make the button work
yup fail
you'd have to be a super hipster to actually carry out this project, download the software to make it right click, and use it day to day in the university library starbucks
The last time I was this early, my girlfriend hit me with the "let's just be cousins, k?"
kipkay, can you make your own wireless mouse from an old mouse ?
it's NOT A LASER - thats the camera - the LED lights the surface through the plastic lense - and the camera detects changes under it as the mouse moves - you can change the red led for a blue or even IR led
wow that was amazing to see a vintage computer mouse so cool
its not bluetooth its 2.4 ghz wireless
it's also not laser mouse, it's optical mouse
How much did you pay for the Apple mouse?
I bet he didnt even got it working
Im sure too. The lens must be positioned very precisely to track the surface.
Your voiding the warranty 😧😧😧 xD
he can just make it look like he never even touched it :D
Hopefully, Domino doesn't choke on the roller ball!!!
potato Bruh, you need a nap! Where are your parents, eh? Yes, I'm female. You know females can like anime too, right?Now, go take a nap.
just use the original blue tooth mouse...
that's lazy and kipkay isn't about that. He showed how to get the classic feeling with the new technology. He is all about hacking and modifying tech, which he has been doing for years and years. But you can definitely always use the original bluetooth mouse or buy a brand new. But remember, something that you made will be a lot precious than the factory built.
why dont you cut the clickable top part with your dremmel and divide it with right and left click
And cut a slot for the scroll wheel. It would be great!
It would ruin the look, though. I was thinking during the video, adding a small button to the right side would be cool. Could be done in an old school way so it looked like it was modded back in the 80's.
i use a blackweb gaming mouse and it's great. heavy duty poly-braid cord 4 sensitivity settings and ergonomic grip, i love it but it wasn't cheep
k
$13.99? that's NOT a lot...
Ollie Badstue i paid closer to 20 guess it got a price drop
