A, not so simple, fix for Mighty Mouse right-click issues
Authored by: lucaseve on May 29, '09 01:34:56PM
Hi everybody

I was afflicted by the same problem of an excessive sensivity of the right "button".
I definitely solved it with an hardware modification to my mighty mouse.

I tought that lowering a little the surface that get the electrical charge of the finger, could decrease the sensitivity of the system for the right clicks so, to diminish the sensivity of the right part of the mouse, I cut away with a sharp cutter some left side parts of the electrical films attached to the back of the mouse upper shell.

It seem I was right but don't ask me why because I'm a software engineer, not an hardware one...
Because a picture worths more than 1000 words, I uploaded a picture where is easy to see the parts I cut away circled with a black mark.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, ACTUALLY, YOU MUST CUT THE RIGHT SIDE BECAUSE YOU WORK ON THE SHELL IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN POSITION!!

Modified Mighty Mouse

OF COURSE I DON'T GET ANT RESPONSIBILITY IN ANY CASE IF THE TRICK DOESN'T WORK WITH YOUR MOUSE FOR ANY REASON.
YOU TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Best regards,

Luca
