The Magic Mouse was released for the first time by Apple in 2009 and was a significant departure from previous plans.
The Magic Mouse was a sleek and unobtrusive device with a touch surface on top. Although the first generation operated with two batteries AA, its redesign in 2015 caused negative reactions, mainly due to the rechargeable battery and the Lightning charging port located at the bottom. This led to charging problems, known as "Dead Magic Mouse Syndrome". Since then, thousands of hackers have tried to fix Magic Mouse's problems, with [Ivan Kuleshov's] recent attempt being considered perhaps the simplest and possibly the most successful.

In fact, the Magic Mouse has two major drawbacks: its ergonomics and its poor positioning charging port. Despite the existence of 3D models and commercial products that alleviate the aforementioned problem - some of them even offer wireless charging between periods of use of the mouse - all attempts to transfer the charging port are met with failure, as the Magic Mouse cannot be charged and used at the same time due to the way Apple designed the circuit.
What made [Ivan] different was that, in addition to adapting some existing 3D models for Magic Mouse extensions to his liking, he also fixed the charging problem by avoiding Apple's circuits altogether and adding a port USB-C in the process. In addition, he added a TP4056-based charging module, soldered directly to the battery terminals, which will charge the battery when connected. This process resulted from experimentation on a Magic Mouse and led to the battery being reported in the MacOS respectively. Overall, these changes have significantly improved the function of Magic Mouse.
The 3D shell doesn't just surround the mouse, but divides it into two sections - one above and one below - ensuring that the optical sensor doesn't hover above the surface. At the same time, it maintains touch sensitivity at the top where needed. According to [Ivan], the project files will be available at account on GitHub directly.
