Paso 1 Magic Mouse Teardown
1 de 15
Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages,

welcome to the Wonderful World of Gadget
Magic Teardown sponsored by iFixit.
We have a special guest tonight in the

audience. From Cupertino, California, it is our
pleasure to introduce the world's first mouse
to use Apple's revolutionary Multi-Touch
technology, the Magic Mouse.
Let us, at iFixit, be the first to welcome you,

Magic Mouse, to the grandest stage of them all,
please just stand there and let us admire you in
all your infinite glory.
14/08/16 9:30 p.m.
Paso 2
#
Now now Magic Mouse, no need to be modest,

let us tell the audience a bit about yourself.
The Magic Mouse is composed of an aluminum

base topped off with a smooth multitouch
panel, giving it a lustrous buttonless
appearance.
Unlike Apple's previous mouse, the Mighty

Mouse, the Magic Mouse relies completely on
gestures to enhance the user's experience.
Scroll in any direction with just one finger,

swipe through web pages with just two fingers
thanks to the powerful technology of
momentum scrolling, where the speed is
calculated by the rate of the gesture.
Oh Magic Mouse...you're so magical!
Paso 3
#
For our next trick, we will need a volunteer

from the audience...yes, you, Magic
Mouse...well come on up!
and gentlemen, the following teardown

$ Ladies
features stunts performed by professionals or
under the supervision of professionals.
Accordingly, iFixit must insist that no-one
attempt to recreate or re-enact any stunt or
activity performed on this teardown.

With the public disclaimer out of the way, we

can now begin tearing down the Magic Mouse.
Batteries are included. They're plain ordinary

Energizer alkalines. We're surprised Steve
doesn't have Apple-branded batteries, maybe
he's been too busy working on other things to
notice...perhaps a tablet...maybe
Steve...no...yes??
14/08/16 9:30 p.m.
Paso 4

Alakazam! Wow, at $69, the Magic Mouse isn't

cheap. You would think for $69 the Magic
Mouse would actually be capable of
performing magical acts.
meet their earnings target for next quarter,

% To
Apple needs to sell about 164 million Magic
Mice. (However, we've been told Apple sells
some other products too). At that rate, it'll be
about nine years before everyone in the world
has a Magic Mouse.
Paso 5
3 de 15
Let's get inside and find the magic amulet that

gives the Magic Mouse its mighty powers. Not
surprisingly, copious amounts of magical glue
stand between us and our goal.
We used a Plastic Opening Tool to pry the

mouse out of its shell.
14/08/16 9:30 p.m.
Paso 6
#
The glue didn't want to let go, but we

overpowered it with a flick of our magic wand.
Screws would have been a lot easier to get
apart (and much nicer to put back together).
There's not much Aluminum in the mouse, we

weighed just 10 grams. That's compared to 37
grams of plastic and 47 grams of batteries.
Nearly half the mouse's weight comes from the
two AA batteries.
Paso 7
4 de 15
Open sarsaparilla! Open Saskatchewan! Open

septuagenarian! Open saddle soap! ... OPEN
SESAME! Now that was easy enough.
Here we receive our first glimpse of magic. (aka

orange capacitive touch sensors).
The top of the mouse is connected to the main

board and power via a single large ribbon
cable.
14/08/16 9:30 p.m.
Paso 8
#
The top of the mouse is translucent. Maybe

Apple should make a backlit mouse.
Paso 9
5 de 15
After prying up the black plastic internal frame,

we finally get an unobstructed view of the
sensors.
From the Apple logo up, the entire surface of

the mouse is covered with capacitive touch
sensors.
14/08/16 9:30 p.m.
Paso 10
#
The brains.
average mouse brain weighs .4 grams. The

% The
brains of the Magic Mouse weigh 9 grams. That
means the Magic Mouse is 22.5 times smarter
than your average mouse. Who knew?
Paso 11
6 de 15
Here's the Broadcom BCM2042A4KFBGH

chip that allows the Magic Mouse to talk to its
host.
This is a BCM2042 "Advanced Wireless

Keyboard/Mouse Bluetooth Chip."
According to Broadcom, "By integrating all

components within today's mouse and
keyboard into the BCM2042, low system costs
can be achieved to approach the price points of
legacy-wired mice and keyboards." Apparently
Apple missed that memo.

Magic Mouse, RIP. Another mouse killed in the

name of science. We didn't break anything, but
gluing it back together will be challenging.
Update: We put it back together and it still works!
We'll be taking apart the iMac that came with

our Magic Mouse next. Follow @ifixit on
twitter and we'll keep you updated.

Magic Mouse requires much more power draw from the 2 AA batteries than the Logitech M600 in that a same pair of
batteries that were claimed by OS X as dead (under 5% charge on the upper right banner bar and system prompt for
change of batteries) is still able to power Logitech M600 immediately taken out of Magic Mouse. In Logitech's product spec
page, it states that it can be powered by a single AA battery and can last 6 months with a new pair. A Magic Mouse would
probably only last a month and a half :(

Those are the friction-reducing gliders. They let the Magic Mouse slide effortlessly over smooth surfaces, such as a desk.
Ordinary mice have "feet", and the Mighty Mouse has one long light-gray strip that goes around the entire base of the
mouse.

I was wondering why didn't they come up with a wirelessly chargeable mouse? I hate those moments that the battery just
died and you lose all the sensitivity. How is the power efficiency on this? Anyone tested?

After a fair bit of fiddling I finally managed it. Here's my method:

1. Snap the cover into place with three of the four plastic posts, leaving one open at the cable end. This ensures the
cable is correctly aligned but gives a little clearance for access.
2. Using very flat tweezers (preferably rubber coated) coax the cable into place. If you are having problems gripping the
cable (it's very shiny) attach a thin strip of electrical tape across the width. Make sure it's well clear of contacts and
socket!
3. Snap the final post into its slot.
Andrew - 29/12/14

For easy removal and reconnection of the ribbon cable, have a look at https://youtu.be/2sk8pR3AmT4?t=3m28s (3:28),
where it lifts the cable release from the connector with a paperclip. Do the opposite by pressing it down after you have
inserted the cable back in.

Wow that typifies the bias strewn thought this teardown... Perhaps if they had built a mouse using the standard
(inexpensive and not requiring significant R&D and engineering) couple microswitches and a optical chopper pair they
could sell it for the $20-$40 that logitech sells it's wired mice.
But that is not the case is it?
Stick to the tech, haters benefit no one.

Err, I hate to break it to you, but this has -one- microswitch, as well as a plain old optical chopper pair. nothing special about
either of those. as far as "significant R&D and engineering" goes, capacitive tech has been around for ages, a simple array of
sensors isn't anything novel.
There really isn't anything in this that justifies the ridiculous price tag.

MBD - 22/10/09

as far as "significant R&D and engineering" goes, capacitive tech has been around for ages, a simple array of sensors
isn't anything novel.
And yet multi-touch has never been properly implemented until recently, with Apple and a handful of other companies
finally getting it right. Don't underestimate what went into it.
Okay, but here's Logitech's current Bluetooth laser offering, and it's $59.99
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_p...
$9 for a multi-touch surface, with the ability for future expansion in gestures and features, like the trackpads, seems like
more than a fair price. Bumping up to a USB darkfield laser is $20. There's nothing new or innovative in a darkfield laser by
your standards, and yet it's double the price? Clearly there's a disconnect there.
useruser - 22/10/09

For that price i would have expected rechargeable batteries and a powered mousepad that transmits energy without
contact to the mouse. That would truly have been 'magic'.
Apple is already one of the worlds largest producers of e-waste and their production processes are not exactly 'green;
either. Now add Aa batteries to that list. greenpeace will have a field day again ...

Do you have a current source for your incorrect enviro-slam? If you bother to take a look at Apple's Environment section of
its website, you'll find comprehensive reports showing full life-cycle environmental impact reports. Something that is
above and beyond the standard in the industry. Me thinks you were too quick and out of date (circa early 2007) with your
slam.
Besides, e-waste is insignificant in the global environmental scheme. Try finding a modern landfill with an e-waste leachate
problem. You can't. The problem is in the recycling of the electronic components in third world countries. Not in burying
the old products.)
ReasonableGuy - 22/10/09

Is there a loudspeaker in it? i wonder if I could get rid of the annoying clics, and get a totally silent mouse. The old mouse
had a small loudspeaker. But no software to turn it off.

Do you know what an optical chopper pair are? They are an IR emitter/receptor pair used to track the scroll wheel rotation.
I don't think this mouse has a scroll wheel (or a chopper pair)
It's surface tracking (laser) does not use a chopper pair (no mouse does)
I am a engineer (PLC electronics manufacturing) and I can tell you this is a big change (engineering and manufacturing wise)
from a standard 3 button mouse. (and I note that the logitech CORDED mice using laser tracking run $25-$80 (bluetooth
run $50 & $60) so the price seems dam reasonable.
R&D Engineering and getting a production run up to speed (QC) all cost lots of money (trust me)
I just get sick of (mostly poorly informed) people bashing innovative companies for having to recoup their R&D and
production set up costs. If you can't (or don't want to) afford it, wait a year or two till it becomes commonplace and most of
the R&D have been recouped, the price will undoubtedly drop a bit.

By bottom I was referring to the whole aluminum part, which you have to hold to use it.
